His (Klein) choice of words may have been wrong but I agree that legislators' support of the teachers unions is a setback for all citizens. They do it for the reciprocol support by the unions, each side scratches the others' back, not because it's the right thing to do. NY is famous for its "rubber rooms" where hundreds of teachers, due to misconduct or incompetence, sit daily doing nothing but get paid. How any legislator can be proud to support that is beyond me.
