Trump Targets Teachers While Funding Private School Vouchers
While Trump rails against the CTU, depicting them as a radical force disrupting education, his administration and political allies have consistently pushed for policies that drain public school resources. For instance, Trump's own budget proposals repeatedly sought to funnel billions into private school voucher programs, directly siphoning funds from the public education system that unions like
the CTU are fighting to preserve. (See: Department of Education budget proposals, 2017-2020). It appears the 'concern' for students only extends as far as private sector profits allow. One might wonder if the real objective is less about educational excellence and more about busting unions that advocate for worker rights and public good, paving the way for further privatization of a fundamental
public service. It’s almost as if 'helping' means dismantling the very institutions that serve the majority.
