Dave noticed that a California Teacher Union is angry that Steve Jobs said that teacher unions are part of the problem with the public school system:
"The California Federation of Teachers has invited Apple CEO Steve Jobs to either attend an annual CFT convention next month or offer a public apology for his "insulting comments" to California's teachers."
In California Teachers' Union Fights Back Dave shows how the arguements Mary Bergan (CFT President) puts forward are hollow.
The MacDailyNews has a good response:
"See, if you're not with the union, you're part of the problem. Unless you agree with the unions' point of view, you're not thinking correctly."
On the MacNN the comments are very supportive of Steve Jobs. Right now I think the average taxpayer sees teachs' unions as part of the problem and agree with Steve Jobs.
It will be interesting to see how Steve Jobs responds.

I totally agree with Steve Jobs. I knew many teachers during my schooling years that should have been fired but never were. Thanks, teachers' unions.
The Teacher's Unions no longer serve the purpose for which they started. They need to let go of the "society owes me" attitude, and do what they were trained to do--teach academics to children, while unionizing for decent pay.
"The Teacher's Unions no longer serve the purpose for which they started."
Such a true statement.
