I don’t understand this position. Just because some portion of the chain is elected doesn’t mean the management portion of the employer acts differently than anywhere else. Your local school districts comptroller isn’t necessarily working that role because they feel a higher calling in education.

Also this “9 months a year” thing is really getting tired. Every teacher I’ve ever met works 60-80 hours a week or more, including weekends. When they work does not correlate to how much they work.

It fundamentally corrupts democracy when you have unions donating to politicians, and the politicians in turn give more money to unions so that they give more money to politicians. This behavior effectively bypasses voters.
