How long will it take for serious opposition to this attack to develop? What kinds of defensive tactics have already appeared anywhere? And so forth. For several decades all we've been able to do is report on and verbally blast each new horror. But there are signs of resistance appearing; the east may be red. Let's look for those signs and report on them.
I don't think the news is good. The NEA was the first union to endorse Obama's re-election. A friend who works for a teacher's union paper in a high-density liberal state says they're all demoralized and basically giving up. Sorry.
