Union
When I was a kid in the Texas public school system, there were always teachers that would subtly inject their own opinion into certain arguments. There was one teacher that said the Civil War wasn’t fought over slavery. He gave a list of reasons the for the war, but it almost feels like saying that diminishes the atrocity, not to mention if it wasn’t the only reason, it certainly was the most important.
We were once given an example of why unions are bad, a hypothetical situation that seemingly rewarded the young and punished the veterans. Texas is a “Right to Work” state, which means you don’t legally have to be part of a union in order to work. There was never really much about ethics, and practices of business leaders. I guess that was the point of college. But I shutter to think how one friend talked so negatively about how unions make workers lazy, and just wanted what they didn’t deserve, without being able to see the other side of the argument. I have several friends that had the same educational experience I did, before college. I know what kind of trite they were fed. Some of them have changed.
