California Teacher’s Union Endorses Steyer for Governor

The California billionaire is a product of elite private schools. The California Teachers Association had previously endorsed accused rapist Eric Swalwell. That didn’t go so well. Free Beacon reports: California’s largest teachers’ union has endorsed Tom Steyer for California governor, throwing its weight behind a billionaire hedge fund mogul who opposes school choice and sent his four children to a cushy San Francisco private school after himself attending one of the nation’s top boarding schools, Phillips Exeter Academy. The California Teachers Association endorsed Steyer on Wednesday, saying he has shown a “depth of commitment to educator unions we expect from all elected leaders.” It comes days after the 310,000-member union rescinded its support for now-former congressman Eric Swalwell following allegations that he raped and harassed multiple female staffers (Free Beacon).
