The right not to contribute

Columnist Quin Hillyer has a good piece about the case in the D.C. Examiner.

The U.S. Supreme Court next month has a chance to teach some important lessons to a major teachers’ union — and to the Washington state high court that acted as the teachers’ union pet.

In their brief against the WEA, the aggrieved non-WEA teachers provide an admirably long list of U.S. Supreme Court cases that support their commonsense argument that they can’t be forced, even by default, to give money to political causes they oppose. The Washington high court’s alternative is tyranny. It must not stand.
