Rebecca Friedrichs
Until recently, public school teachers and other public employees were forced to join unions and pay dues to support political agendas diametrically opposed to their core values and principles. That is no longer the case. Public employees now operate in a changed environment that gives them more power when it comes to their unions.
Joining me today is courageous woman who battled the unions and became the plaintiff in a case that eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. My guest is Rebecca Friedrichs, the author of Standing Up to Goliath: Battling State and National Teachers’ Unions for the Heart and Soul of Our Kids and Country.

I am a retired public school teacher with over 30 years experience (including 4 as a principal) who formerly was an aggressive member (picket captain during West Virginia’s only teacher strike) of the NEA/AFT for over 20 years and I strongly believe there is no hope for public education as long as teacher unions maintain power. I left the Union for my last ten, or so, years. I also strongly believe the teacher unions are contributing to the ruination of the United States of America.
We can win everything and lose it all! If we do not win the hearts and minds of the next generation—it is all a waste!! We must rescue our children!!!
Whatever victories you gain will need to be monitored beyond the capacity of hundreds of volunteers. The teacher unions and their allies such as the ACLU own government schools. They will quickly take back any lost ground and they will not hesitate to do it in an under-handed manner while your group operates honestly and ethically.
We must rescue our children! See specifics at http://www.insectman.us/exodus-mandate-wv/index.htm I am not raising funds. My goal is to rescue children.
