We finally have in one place an expose' regarding the corrosive effect that the national teachers' unions have had and continue to have on public education in America.  I have addressed this issue at length on this web site (see Public Education Politics).  Now comes  the book by Peter Brimelow entitled "The Worm In The Apple, How The Teacher Unions Are Destroying American Education" (New York:HarperCollins Publishers, 2003, pp296, $24.95)  As pointed out many times before this - and the teacher unions know it - the only way in which the sorry state of our public schools will be improved is through vouchers and other methods of applying competition to this  monopoly.
