I endorse spending CTA money to combat this misrepresentation of the facts, on behalf of teachers.Cynthia Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393093324053904441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926840057407281508.post-72909925359165965412008-10-24T20:32:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:32:00.000-07:00Thank you for your opinion.

But since it gets teachers' money whether the teachers want them to or not, CTA should focus on teacher pay, benefits, and working conditions.<BR/><BR/>Much of what CTA takes positions on, and spends money on, has nothing to do with those three items.
