Last week brought yet more proof that the Washington Education Association has little to do with education. It’s a union, plain and simple. And to advance its members, the union will even resort to anti-education tactics.

If the WEA were really interested in education, it would have applauded and supported a five-year, $13.2 million grant...

Logic leads one to believe the WEA would support more pay for teachers, but because the NMSI grant money would come from an outside source, free from union manipulation, the union effectively killed the program.

The quality of public school education is inversely proportionate to the growth of the NEA.

Did you know that the NEA hired Saul Alinsky, back in 1948, to help them with their organizing methods?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
