[ Part-time faculty have rightly raised the concern that the union is leading a witch-hunt against those who would dare question its leadership, with Jennie Fauls writing in the Columbia Chronicle, “The Integrity Committee might as well have posted their decree in the Salem, Massachusetts, town square in the late 17th century.” ]
Few " liberal " souls have dared to notice that the core concept of " democracy " - MAJORITY RULE - has been under attack on the so called Left and on the so called Right for decades now.
Reading belligerent " identity politics " soap operas you might think that " democracy " is all about protecting assorted vulnerable minorities from the vicious and ignorant majority ( often insinuated as white working class " deplorables " ) . The false intellectual voices of decaying capitalism must focus on anything but the proverbial elephant- in- the- room : the blatant injustice of CLASS society. Corrupt union leaders would prefer that THEIR members not have an independent , rebellious thought in their heads. " Education " for the union members should be education in obedience and docility. Every election day they will exhort " loyal " union members to go out and save " OUR democracy " by voting for this or that crooked Democrat. And often they do just that .
