Sorry, but even if you were not wrong about all the other aspects of the decision, you'd be wrong about this one. Even if the Supreme Court had decided the "opt-in/opt-out" issue, which it did not, the case in question only covered the small minority of Washington teachers who are not members of the WEA but pay an "agency fee" for the WEA to represent them. Union members would still have been subject to union rules since they had "opted in" by being members of the union.
You're also incorrect in your previous contention that the WEA did not "tell" those non-members that they had the option of "opting out" of political contributions. The WEA has provided materials making this clear to non-members for years. No one disputed that fact.
