Teachers unions have been employing systemic racism to prevent school choice so deserving minorities can get a decent education in schools that actually educate students

I agree that teachers' unions prevent school choice, but to show that is because of racism you need to show: (1) unions only employ tactics against certain races and (2) the tactics are employed because of the race of the targeted people. I think you find, however, that the unions try to prevent school choice universally, affecting all kids.
The racism is absolutely systemic. Teachers unions have been employing systemic racism to prevent school choice so deserving minorities can get a decent education in schools that actually educate students
No school choice means that more Black kids are stuck in low performing schools than the White kids whose parents can afford to move or use private or at home schooling.
I would pass the following (state) constitutional amendment. Any union representing public workers is barred form making political contributions. I would say just ban public unions, but I think that public employees shouldn't lose their right to free association because they are government employees. Does that sound radically right wing or republican!?!?
Public employee's have always had a union - it's called the government.

Seriously, that shit happens and it's frustrating because a simple video camera in the classroom would fix that real quick.

Why do you want surveillance on classrooms?
For 10,000 years, teachers have been teaching without big brother video monitoring.
We've also been pretty harsh with kiddy diddlers until pretty recently. Maybe that's what we need to bring back?
Because I pay for those classrooms.
Now, there's plenty of daycares that have cameras running while they are taking care of parent's kids, so parents can observe whenever they want.
And yep, Plato was diddling his students. They made him drink hemlock if I recall. Liberal educators kind of don't bring that connection to bear too often do they? It's always "They hated his progressive thinking". Lol.

As a parent with a child in this situation, I rather detest it. My wife loves it, because she can watch the kids in her spare time. To me, it's just an oppressive bullshit that is training the kids to accept being watched by an unknown camera. My wife wants cameras all around the house for security. I'm a no fucking way kind of guy. It's not even argued that the police have access and ARE warrantlessly watching these feeds on providers like Ring/Nest.

I pay for the street outside your house, but that doesn't mean I get to point a video camera at your driveway and monitor your comings and goings. How about a little restraint?
Yes you can point a camera at my driveway.
No. you just have to show "disparate impact." No school choice means that more Black kids are stuck in low performing schools than the White kids whose parents can afford to move or use private or at home schooling

You need to show that the disparate impact is due to being black. However, your own comment suggests the disparate impact is due to being poor. By your standard, any public or private entity charging any money for anything is racist because a larger proportion of black people can't afford whatever it is bing sold.
I see "disparate impact" as nothing more than a scam to interject racism claims into situations where no racism exists.

Ugg, very literal.. I mean that, as society, we(police, streets dept, etc) don't just point video cameras at everyone's driveway to monitor them because we pay taxes for roads (yet). Although some places are starting to roll this out without public comment periods. San Diego for instance has cameras and microphones on many streetlights. The public found out, and was PISSED, as it happened rather surreptitiously.
