Of course they did: NM Democrats pick teachers union official as new state party chairwoman

I doubt we at the Rio Grande Foundation would have liked ANY of the candidates to be chair of New Mexico’s Democratic Party, but it is hardly a surprise that they chose “a teachers union fundraising official” to run the Party. As if it needs to be said, the government-fun education system is NOT about educating our children. It is an employment program for adults and a tool for maintaining political power. The teachers’ unions are one big part of the Democrats’ three legged stool: government employee unions, radical environmental groups, and trial attorneys.

So, New Mexico’s education system is inarguably the very worst in the nation and the unions have had more to do with that failure than ANYONE, with two cycles of NAEP scores ranking it dead-last in the nation, the Party that has controlled New Mexico for generations has tabbed one of their “union fundraisers” to lead it. Totally checks out.
