Welcome to Teachers Fight Back
This web site has been established in order to defend and support the hardworking school teachers of America. The following list contains a few of the many concepts that will be discussed.
- Why during the last several years teachers have come under unprecedented criticism.
- Why “teacher bashing” has replaced baseball as the national pastime, and what teachers and their unions should be doing about it.
- Why merit pay is a terrible concept and why all teachers should be opposed to it.
- Why teacher tenure is a necessary evil and should be retained.
- How teacher unions have failed their memberships.
- How and why the demands on teachers have increased dramatically in the last decade; and why teachers have allowed it to happen.
I’m a college professor in TX. We are not permitted to form a union, but that doesn’t mean we can’t mobilize into a powerful political force. I also think K-12 teachers and college teachers have plenty of common ground and should form political alliances. I’m interested in working with all teachers, especially those in San Antonio (where I work), Austin, and nearby areas.
