>Public school teachers are largely unionized which would eliminate differences in pay between men and women.

No, it wouldn't. Why would it?

Maybe I misunderstand how unions work but my understanding is that unionized pay is based on experience levels and not gender.
Being unionized doesn't mean that pay is non-negotiable or anything of the sort. Yes, the union typically establishes a baseline pay based on experience, but individuals can still negotiate their own wages.
