America's public education system is failing. We're spending more money
on education but not getting better results for our children.

That's
because the machine that runs the K-12 education system isn't designed
to produce better schools. It's designed to produce more money for
unions and more donations for politicians.

For decades, teachers'
unions have been among our nation's largest political donors. As Reason
Foundation's Lisa Snell has noted, the National Education Association
(NEA) alone spent $40 million on the 2010 election cycle (source: http://reason.org/news/printer/big-education-and-big-labor-electio).
As the country's largest teachers union, the NEA is only one cog in the
infernal machine that robs parents of their tax dollars and students of
their futures.

Students, teachers, parents, and hardworking
Americans are all victims of this political machine--a system that takes
money out of taxpayers' wallets and gives it to union bosses, who put
it in the pockets of politicians.

Our kids deserve better.
