we clearly want to a "Destroy public education" by making teachers accountable to parents which is a terrible thing according to the teachers union
//sidenote we also want to abolish all public unions (including teachers union) as public sector employees use their union to corrupt the election process in their favor screwing over the tax payer who ends up having no one in their favor in contract talks.
This sounds like trading away some freedom of association for a small group of people — ostensibly for the greater good — which isn’t very pro-liberty in my eyes. Where I live, while the taxpayers do not attend these contract talks we have the final word in that we ultimately decide to pass the school budget or not through voting.
The libertarian solution to the Teachers Union issue is to have schools run by private organizations not attached to the government, thus would be free to unionize and have all the union benefits.
So long as they are a public employee who vote, and who use their power to have outside influence over the ones who are supposed to be representing all taxpayers not just the ones in the union, there is a clear conflict of interest when it comes to PUBLIC sector unions.
Want to be in a union, support backpack funding of private schools and end public schools
Hell even FDR was opposed to Public Sector Unions
Pure unbridled free market will crush unions anyway, both the kinds formed by corporations (collusion) and those formed by employees (union). There is no need to legislate such action as market forces influence actors towards the more economical choice.
Unless they are public sector union which face not market competition at all, as they are government employees. Thus the problem with them
I was very clear to not be "Anti-union" as you seem to claim but I am very much anti-PUBLIC SECTOR unions as there is clear conflict of interest inherent in those. Many libertrian are "pro union" for the private sector but are opposed to public sector union because of this clear conflict

(It claims to be about pronouns, and encouraging anti-lgbtq smears, but, if you read the bill, you'll find the reality is much worse.)
There are thousands of examples like this going back decades. You used the words "right wing", but I suspect you don't know what they mean. For example, you should read up on the blocking of the equal rights amendment, which was arguably the founding moment for the right wing in the US. It would have prevented discriminatory hiring by the US government.
Arguments against it included claiming it was a conspiracy between lesbians and government workers, and "you wouldn't want bathrooms to allow gays like desegregation did for blacks, right?", and lots of claims about how men would sexually assault women and children in bathrooms if it passed (the constitutional amendment had nothing to do with bathrooms).
More impactfully, to this day, Prop 13 is hailed as one of the biggest wins of the right wing in California, and it is largely responsible from taking our schools from top ten in the US to bottom ten.
Anyway, I'm guessing you don't support any of this nonsense based on the rest of your comment.

or recall Scott Walker and what he did in Wisconsin.
Or even look at the article currently under discussion, which makes it a FELONY for a teacher to have the "wrong" books in the classroom. How can you say that is not an attack on teachers?
I challenge you to contact any person who has worked in public education for more than 5 years and get their view on the right wing. I think you'll find that there is an organized and well funded attack on US public education, which is driven by the right wing.
When "policy measures" include using state violence it's dishonest to not call them "'attacks' and 'assaults'".
Nobody said it was universal. But it is incredibly dishonest to pretend that there isn't a huge effort to destroy public education among the right wing. Libraries are under attack across the nation, and there is a major push to dissolve the separation of church and state. This movement is underway, and it's being pushed by the right wing. That is not to say that every single conservative supports it.
> Additionally, making it a crime to teach is not a tactic that is being used by any mainstream political group or party.
Except, did you read the article? It's a felony for teachers to have wrongthink books in their classrooms. The Ministry of Truth maintains a list of permissible books. This is a law passed by DeSantis, the most likely 2024 candidate for president. If that ain't mainstream, I don't know what is.
