The plaintiffs want to overturn an automatic payroll deduction
process for teachers who don't want a portion
of their fees to go for
political activities to have to «
opt out»
of funding those activities.

political machine completely intact, helping individual teachers
opt -
out of paying their
political dues is about as «incremental» as incremental can get.
