American Federation of Teachers
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is one of the nation's most militant labor unions. AFT's stock-in-trade is conflict, hostility, and distortion.
American schools are in crisis, yet the AFT opposes the vast majority of credible education reforms aimed at fixing our failing schools. They're part of the problem, not the solution.
