WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT TEACHER PAY WAS PROVIDED BY A RACIST WHO THINKS IMMIGRANTS ARE MENTALLY DEFICIENT?

Libertarian union-hater, Michael Antonucci, has always been a teacher low pay denier and teacher shortage denier.
But now Antonucci has reached down into the racist gutter for his latest attempts to discredit the data on teacher pay and teacher shortages.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in an extensive essay in the fall 2019 issue of National Affairs. Written by Andrew G. Biggs and Jason Richwine, it is titled “The Truth About Teacher Pay.” The authors masterfully rebut almost everything we have been led to believe about public school compensation, staffing and working conditions. They tear down virtually every graven image the education establishment has put on display for the past 50 years.

Whoa! That would be some tear down.
Excuse me if I’m suspicious of the source for Antonucci’s data.
I remember Jason Richwine.
Jason Richwine?
I know that name.
