Does CTA Really Represent Teachers' Views?

It didn't on Proposition 8, or so it seems.

The most laughable point is this one:

“I think the CTA does represent the majority of its members,” said CTA spokeswoman Sandra Jackson. “I don’t believe that the overall membership is more conservative than the leadership. If so, I think we would hear about it.”

Update, 2/8/09: Someone agrees with me.
