Why does the bill on the PNA (teacher negotiations) authored by ALEC task force member and paid KPI lobbyist Dave Trabert and the minority of the efficiency commission appear to be receiving more legislative support than the bill supported by the majority of the efficiency commission, KASB, the superintendents association and the teachers unions? If you think this is all about “efficiency”, please watch this video. Many of you are new to our page, so if you don’t know who ALEC is, please peruse our page and our website and realize that the Kansas legislature has many ALEC members. In the first half of this video, Terry Moe of the Hoover Institution ties together the effort to weaken the teachers union to the effort to bring about the entire ALEC education “reform” plan (vouchers, virtual charters, pay based on standardized test scores, etc.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRSGZYr2dP8
