Thanks to NJEdReport for augmenting and amplifying Sunlight’s research on how the NEA (and NJEA) knew about young teachers’ disaffection from the modern-day, union-dominated teaching profession.  The young teachers cared about students and instruction, and wanted less politics and less seniority.  The NJEA and NEA gave them more politics and more seniority.  No wonder there’s a shortage of teacher candidates.
