DEMS/EDUCATION/UNION: “I’d like to see the money follow the student. If a school is going to be closed, and we’re giving all of this money on the federal basis to a school, and if a student is going to go to a different school… I think the money should follow the student. And that’s something that we want to do.
We’re having a hard time with the Democrats. They want the money to follow the union, to be honest. It’s very simple: ‘Give it to the union.’ But the fact is — ‘Give it to dues.’ Because the union people are fantastic people in there, but the people that run the union, it’s disgraceful, and the dues that they charge the teachers. And that’s what it’s all about.”
