Why are tax-funded public institutions such as schools and universities promoting purported social justice activism to employees and students? Is the goal of this activism geared toward enhancing society or is it used to disrupt and divide Americans? Unions also board the grievance wagon that transcends their role as negotiators for better benefits and working conditions. Many educators and union officials tend to create a false narrative that all minority groups are oppressed victims rather than authors of their own destinies. This is what George W. Bush called the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”
