Pulitzer-Winning Cartoonist Disinvited From School Event Because Of Teacher Union Criticism

Apparently San Diego Union Tribune editorial cartoonist Steve Breen has been uninvited from a speaking gig at a school over this editorial cartoon criticizing teachers unions.

I don’t see anything overtly inflammatory in that.  It’s critical of teachers unions, sure, but since when was that a crime?

This reminds me of the North Dakota teachers union banning the teacher of the year from a banquet for award-winning teachers because she’s not a union member.

Given that union enrollment around the country is on the decline, and that the big three automakers are currently in Washington DC begging for taxpayer dollars to bail them out of the hole the labor unions have dug them into, you’d think that that Big Labor would want to avoid this level of arrogance.
