LCPS Votes for Unions. Then Immediate Scandal Develops Involving Atoosa Reaser. That Didn’t Take Long

And less than 2 hours after the vote, @LCPSOfficial has a new union related controversy courtesy of @AtoosaReaser. Ian Serotkin, this is why “supporting employees right to organize, period” doesn’t work with public sector unions. Atoosa Reaser was PAID $500 (donation to her Delegate run for VA-D27) AND the LCPS policy states “Prohibited Conduct. No Member or employee of the Board shall; e. accept ANY money, loan, gift, favor, service, or business, or professional opportunity that reasonably tends to influence him/her in the performance of his/her official duties”.

Section 1: Introduction

Unions have long been a controversial topic in education. While some people see unions as necessary to protect teacher’s rights and improve the quality of education, others believe that unions are destructive to education. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why unions are detrimental to education and the negative impact they have on students, teachers, and the education system as a whole.

Section 2: Unions Stifle Innovation

One of the main reasons why unions are destructive to education is that they stifle innovation. Unions often resist change and new ideas, preferring to maintain the status quo. This can be detrimental to students, who need innovative and effective teaching methods to succeed in today’s fast-paced world. By resisting change, unions prevent teachers from experimenting with new teaching methods and technologies that could benefit their students.

Furthermore, unions often advocate for standardized teaching methods and curriculum, which can be limiting and fail to meet the diverse needs of students. This prevents teachers from tailoring their teaching to the individual needs of their students and can lead to a one-size-fits-all approach to education, which is not effective for all students.

Unions also make it difficult to remove underperforming teachers, which can negatively impact students. Teachers who are not performing well can have a significant impact on student learning, and unions often fight to protect such teachers, making it challenging to remove them from the classroom.

Section 3: Unions Interfere with School Management

Policy 2160. Ms. Reaser’s vote tonight for collective bargaining was a conflict of interest and in direct violation of Policy 2160, Section E, number 1, subsection e.

Another way in which unions are destructive to education is by interfering with school management. Unions often demand a say in how schools are run, which can lead to conflicts between teachers and administrators. This can create a toxic work environment and undermine the authority of school leaders.

Unions also negotiate contracts that can make it difficult for administrators to manage their schools effectively. For example, unions may demand that teachers have complete control over their classrooms, making it challenging for administrators to enforce discipline policies or make changes to the curriculum.

Additionally, unions often resist attempts to hold teachers accountable for their performance, making it difficult for administrators to improve the quality of education in their schools.

Section 4: Unions Prioritize Teacher’s Rights Over Students’ Needs

One of the most significant criticisms of unions is that they prioritize teacher’s rights over students’ needs. Unions often fight for higher salaries, better benefits, and improved working conditions for teachers, which can be beneficial for teachers but may not be in the best interests of students.

For example, unions may demand that teachers receive pay raises based on seniority rather than performance, which can lead to highly ineffective teachers receiving higher salaries than more effective teachers. This can negatively impact student learning and undermine the quality of education in schools.

Furthermore, unions often fight against changes that could benefit students, such as longer school days or more rigorous academic standards. This can be detrimental to students, who need a challenging and rigorous education to succeed in today’s world.

Section 5: Unions Protect Ineffective Teachers

Another way in which unions are destructive to education is by protecting ineffective teachers. Unions often make it difficult to remove underperforming teachers from the classroom, even if they are not meeting the needs of their students.

This can be detrimental to student learning, as ineffective teachers can have a significant impact on student achievement. Additionally, it can be demoralizing for effective teachers, who may feel that their hard work is not being recognized or valued.

Furthermore, unions often fight against attempts to hold teachers accountable for their performance, making it difficult for administrators to improve the quality of education in their schools.

Section 6: Unions are Corrupt and Self-Serving

Another criticism of unions is that they are corrupt and self-serving. Unions often prioritize their own interests over the interests of their members or the education system as a whole.

For example, unions may demand higher pay and better benefits for their members, even if it means that schools are forced to cut programs or lay off staff. Additionally, unions may use their power to intimidate or silence teachers who speak out against union policies or practices.

Furthermore, unions often resist attempts to reform the education system, even if those reforms could benefit students or improve the quality of education. This can be detrimental to students and the education system as a whole.

Section 7: Unions are Expensive and Inefficient

Another way in which unions are destructive to education is that they are expensive and inefficient. Unions often negotiate contracts that are costly for schools and taxpayers, requiring high salaries, generous benefits, and job security for teachers.

Additionally, unions often make it difficult for schools to make changes or implement reforms, which can be costly and time-consuming. This can prevent schools from adapting to changing circumstances or implementing new programs that could benefit students.

Furthermore, unions often require schools to follow strict protocols and procedures, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. This can distract teachers and administrators from their primary goal of educating students and can be detrimental to the quality of education in schools.

Section 8: Unions are Politically Motivated

Another criticism of unions is that they are politically motivated. Unions often endorse political candidates and lobby for policies that benefit their members, even if those policies are not in the best interests of students or the education system as a whole.

Additionally, unions may use their political power to influence the education system, making it difficult for schools to implement reforms or make changes that could benefit students. This can be detrimental to student learning and can undermine the quality of education in schools.

Furthermore, unions may advocate for policies that are not evidence-based or effective, simply because those policies benefit their members or align with their political agenda.

Section 9: Conclusion

Unions are destructive to education for many reasons. They stifle innovation, interfere with school management, prioritize teacher’s rights over students’ needs, protect ineffective teachers, are corrupt and self-serving, expensive and inefficient, and politically motivated.

It is time to re-evaluate the role of unions in education and consider alternative approaches that prioritize student learning and the quality of education in schools.

Section 10: Call to Action

If you are concerned about the negative impact of unions on education, there are several things you can do. Educate yourself about the issue, speak out against union policies that are detrimental to students, and advocate for reforms that prioritize student learning and the quality of education in schools.

By working together, we can create a better education system that benefits students, teachers, and the education community as a whole.

Jeniffer Wexton on:

public Safety

Crime has vaulted near the top of voters’ concerns, just after the economy and inflation. According to Gallup, 80 percent of Americans worry “a great deal” or a “fair amount” about crime, the highest level in two decades.

 

Such fears pose yet another midterm election hurdle for Democrats, on top of public angst over soaring prices and President Biden’s dismal public approval ratings.

 

As a former prosecutor, substitute judge, legal advocate for children, state Senator, and as a legislator, Jennifer Wexton should be well aware that our society is a dangerous place. Wexton should understand that our children, the elderly, and everyone else in between needs to be protected from violent criminals and repeat offenders. She ignores this and advocates on their behalf with light sentences, “no cash bail”, Criminal Justice Reform, and Restorative Justice.

 

Do you recall the rape of a (15) year old girl in a Loudoun County High School bathroom in May 2021 by a transgendered student? If this wasn’t bad enough, “Criminal Justice Reform” allowed for the rapists sentenced to be reduced, removing him from the sexual assault registry and providing supervised probation. To make matters worse, the Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler IGNORED the federally mandated processes and procedures when incidents of this nature occur, and now Wexton is abolishing Title IX protections under HR5-Equality Act.

 

Jennifer Wexton got the ball rolling on the rapists lenient sentence by introducing Bill NO. 1082 in 2017, which passed (and she’s proud of it, see video during meeting with NAACP).

In 2019, Wexton proudly endorsed Buta Biberaj for Loudoun County Commonwealth Attorney. Prior to being elected, Biberaj was the legal redress for the Loudoun NAACP; this is not an insignificant detail. Biberaj also belongs to the Virginia Progressive Prosecutors For Justice. The VPPFJ’s primary goal is “Criminal Justice Reform” or “Restorative Justice”.

 

Wexton, Biberaj are closely aligned Progressive ideologues and share questionable associations with a variety of organizations and people.

Who could forget the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 over George Floyd. Wexton is so radical that she sponsored the “George Floyd Justice Policing Act” (defund the police) and the “Mental Health Justice Act” that allowed for increased funding for social workers that are meant to take the place of police officers around the country.

 

These are only a few examples of what Wexton and the Progressive Democrats “Criminal Justice Reform” and “Restorative Justice” look like for Public Safety:
