Longtime special education teacher Karin Majewski is the subject of a new feature-length documentary by the Independent Women’s Forum after battling her own teachers’ union.
Majewski, a Pennsylvania teacher, is on a mission to fight back against the Pennsylvania Education Association (PSEA) Since they started defending COVID-19 2020 Vaccine Requirements. (related: Teachers union suspected of laundering $1.5 million in Democratic Party campaign funds
“I found a statement put out by the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA). They were in favor of requiring all public school educators to be vaccinated. And they said on behalf of all 178,000 union members, “He was speaking out,” Majewski said. said Independent Women’s Forum (IWF).
“No one asked me my opinion, no surveys were sent out, they were speaking for everyone, which I strongly disagreed with,” Majewski said. he said at the forum.
Majewski realized that the $150 monthly membership fee supports these ideas.
“Regardless of how you feel, that’s where the money goes. This goes for all school staff…not just teachers, but support staff, nurses, janitors, bus drivers, secretaries, whoever.” This applies to all,” Majewski said at the forum.
Majewski contacted the Freedom Foundation, a national nonprofit organization that helps union members leave their unions, to join a professional alternative to a union that could represent her in workplace issues.
Motivated by PSEA’s intense recruiting efforts, Majewski sent out a district-wide email to help others contact her. She immediately received messages of both support and backlash. The following week, she was assigned to the human resources department. (related: Blue City voters have low trust in major teachers unions as November elections approach)
“Basically I pitched some ideas to her: I’m happy to put up flyers and posters that she approves of, and if the union is doing these things, why can’t I do it?” Do those things and let people know what alternatives and options they have,” Majewski told IWF.
The flyer featured a QR code that could be scanned for the union alternative. Even though the human resources department approved the flyer, Majewski learned that it had been destroyed.
“I was really surprised that something like that was happening, but I played by the rules. It’s about how much money and power is involved and how scared people are of leaving. It’s really telling,” Majewski told IWF. (related: Blue states forced teacher unions to ignore public school failures.)
“They come up with ideas that they want schools to implement. They say, ‘Okay, we want to see more of this.’ We want social justice topics to be featured more in abortion classrooms. “I want to see more money go to Planned Parenthood. These things have nothing to do with being a union or helping me as an educator.” Mr. Key told IWF.
“Legally, you have the right to leave the union if you want, and there is a lot of free support to support you and help you get through it,” she said.
