2011: The Power of Teachers' Unions
The recent events in Wisconsin, in which unionized teachers behaved like third-world mobs, is a stark reminder of what a grave mistake it was to permit government employees to unionize.

The problem with education isn’t low-paid teachers and crowded classrooms — instead, it is the result of a cynical, deliberate attempt to dumb-down America to promote a radical political agenda.
2011: Education's Implosion Abetted by Unionization of Public Employees
The State of Wisconsin is a microcosm of everything that's wrong in public education, including education policy at the federal and state levels, as well as with the unionization of public employees. In the midst of the protests by unionized teachers.
2011: Is Compulsory School Attendance Compatible With a Free Society?
Though we like to think of America as a free country, when it comes to education we are confronted with compulsory school attendance laws, compulsory property taxes to pay for the government schools, etc. By Sam Blumenfeld
2009: NEA Chief Calls Conservatives “B*****ds”
At the National Education Association’s convention, held last July in San Diego, retiring general counsel of the organization, Bob Chanin, in his swan-song speech to the union’s faithful, asked the rhetorical question, “Why are these conservative and right-wing bastards picking on the NEA and its affiliates?” By Sam Blumenfeld

2010: And the Next Bailout Goes to … Government Employees
On August 10 President Barack Obama signed into law a billion public employees' bailout bill that, proponents claim, will save the jobs of 300,000 teachers, police officers, and other public employees in danger of being laid off. By Michael Tennant
2010: The Difficult Choice: Comfort or Self-Reliance
Are the American people willing to give up the comforts of the Nanny State in exchange for self-reliant individualism, as they did before the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt, when Americans did indeed rely on their individual efforts to maintain home and family. by Samuel Blumenfeld
2010: The Race to Centralize Education
The more that states and localities can be rendered dependent on federal dollars for education, the more power accrues to the liberal educational establishment, and the easier it becomes for Washington to direct what should be taught. By William P. Hoar

2008: Pavlov's Dogs and American Education
There is indeed a Ministry of Education in America, and it is called the National Society for the Study of Education. It was founded in 1901 by John Dewey and colleagues who were interested in psycho-education and the application of science to educational issues. The society publishes an annual two-volume Yearbook filled with discussions of educational interests.
2003: NEA to Target Republicans in 2004
Back in 1984, when I wrote NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education, my goal was to awaken conservatives and Republicans to the fact that the National Education Association had become a radical, leftist political organization using the Democrat party to achieve its goals. For years, they had been using their extensive local influence to elect liberals and leftists to school boards, municipal governments, state legislatures, and the U.S. Congress. Back in 1967, five years after the NEA had become a labor union, the NEA's executive secretary, Sam Lambert, made it very clear that the NEA was determined to become a powerful political machine rather than merely an organization of teachers devoted to improving education.
