“Teachers are standing up for their students and themselves against largely red states with weak labor laws,” writes American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten in her recent USA Today op-ed. “The days of passive resignation are over.”

Weingarten and others seem fond of characterizing the recent wave of teacher strikes as political reawakenings. Yet preliminary findings from a pending survey suggest that teachers unions and their allies may regret their “Remember in November” mantra.
