I suspect the picture is far more complex than you realize.

I suspect it is as well. I presented a number of motives and point out it isn’t a uniform group of people with a coordinated reason.

@redesigned

what i describe is a broad surface of reasons that lead to a common shared interest against education, not the agenda of some unified group.

@redesigned

conspiracy of interest, not conspiracy of collusion.

Strongly agreed. Much of the bad stuff (and a fair amount of the good stuff) is simply the outcome of systemic factors that have been in play for a long time. Education has been at the forefront of social change and we have been the beneficiaries of this. Teachers are a respected, well-educated, organized, middle class group which has allowed them to to be one of the stronger liberal influences on popular culture.

well said.

@tlwest

Whether this targeting has been successful or not is another question. My general feeling is no, teachers still maintain the respect of the general populace

unfortunately there are other approaches of attack as well, the education system in the USA has been gutted financially and fragmented and the core curriculum and standards undermined. If it can be weakened enough, and undervalued enough, then it will be easier for them to dismantle and replace with private voucher schools.
