Terry M. Moe: The Coming Fall of the Teachers Unions

Bruno Behrend is the director of the Center for School Reform at the Heartland Institute. Recently, he reviewed my new book Special Interest: Teachers Unions and America's Public Schools, for the American Thinker, a daily Internet publication devoted to the thoughtful exploration of issues of importance to Americans.
In his review, Behrend said, "Moe demolishes many of the myths surrounding teachers and their unions. The most important of these is the myth that teachers are unhappy with their unions and yearn to shed their yoke. Not quite."
He also writes, "The book shows teacher unions are an inexorable force imposing their will on education policy at the federal, state, and local level. Reforms and reformers are blocked at every turn by a political juggernaut built over decades and intricately designed to block reform."
