Teachers unions in many parts of the country have held public schools hostage for close to a year. But now, it seems they’ve finally, (hopefully), pushed their luck too far.

Even Democrats are growing tired of the teachers unions’ unreasonable demands. Though they’re usually the unions’ political allies, Democratic officials are starting to realize that keeping schools closed is politically unsustainable. Parents on both sides of the aisle are rightly angered, and the public school system is hemorrhaging thousands upon thousands of students as a result.
