Opinion: What are the teachers’ unions afraid of?

Tennesseans ought to stand up and support Bill Lee and the governor’s Education Savings Account legislation. Legislators are being bombarded by special interests opposed to parents and students having a choice for once. Most of the opposition is by teachers’ unions. What are they afraid of? The bottom line is the debate isn’t about education or what’s best for the students. The reality is it’s about protecting jobs and union dues.
