From the March 12, 2020, edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Rush Limbaugh Show

RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Mike in Cincinnati. Great to have you, sir. You’re next on the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Rush, mega dittos from the queen city. It’s an honor to talk to you. Longtime listener and first-time caller.

LIMBAUGH: Thank you, sir, very much.

CALLER: Our friends describe you as the best friend that we’ve never met in person. So, anyway. I wanted to ask you, why do you think the teachers unions have been so silent about going to online learning? You know, the professors and the big unions, because after all when you’re online, don’t you need fewer teachers?

LIMBAUGH: Yeah, I’ve been wondering that about a lot of things. What if it’s discovered that you don’t need to go half the places we’ve been going to get done what you do when you go there?

CALLER: Right.

LIMBAUGH: What -- believe me, professional sports have been worried about this since the advent of television to a certain extent. It’s why the blackout rules existed as they did for a while. But you’re right about education. And not just the aspect of it you mentioned. But once the students stay at home then the teachers union may lose control of the curriculum and everything else. That could open the door to homeschooling, which teaches an entirely different curriculum than what you get in the public school system because you can’t tele-teach everybody.

You can’t put every classroom on a gigantic FaceTime, although they may be thinking about it. But again, in the case of many unions — not all — but what is the objective of many unions? Don’t make me say it. Figure it out on your own, folks. What is the objective, in relation to his call?
