45. I am not trying to obfuscate. I'm trying understand your hatred of teachers unions.
I see now that the depth of your feelings is profound and that you despise the entire education system and not just the teachers unions. You obviously feel that whole system failed you and your son and I feel for you but, I do not think you have a fair case for suing or even an argument for ending the teachers unions.
