Educators denounce vote to confirm Kavanaugh who is unfit to serve on Supreme Court

NEA President: Only thing to do ‘for those who share disappointment in this moment: vote'


WASHINGTON - October 06, 2018 -

By a razor-thin margin, the U.S. Senate today confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to serve as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings ended with gripping testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who shared under oath heart-wrenching and vivid memories of her sexual assault at the hands of Kavanaugh when they were high school students.

The following is a statement that can be attributed to NEA President Lily Eskelsen García:

“From the outset, it was clear that Judge Kavanaugh would not be the fair-minded jurist needed on the Supreme Court. The Senate confirmation process has only further demonstrated that he lacks the qualifications and temperament to hold one of the most powerful positions in our government. Judge Kavanaugh is simply unfit to serve on the highest court of the land. We must now hope that he can find the impartiality and necessary disposition needed to serve the nation as a Supreme Court justice.”

“The message sent by Senate Republicans to the nation, and in particular to our children, was loud and clear: It is acceptable to appoint a hyper-partisan justice who is beholden to the White House. It is acceptable to disregard the stories of sexual assault survivors. It is acceptable to disregard dishonesty under oath. Well, educators know that these things are never acceptable. There is only one thing left to do for those of us who share disappointment in this moment: vote.”

From the group that’s dumbed down education in the USA.

The left loves to build up these fantasies and believe them such as Treyvon or the hands up don’t shoot b.s. They really believe these wacko lies. Can you imagine this country if everyone believed in all these fairy tales.

Awwwww, the NEA is just being nice to Kavanaugh so that he'll look favorably on their side the next time SCOTUS hears a case involving teachers demanding the right to not be forced to pay NEA union dues.

You can tell when they're trying to get on his good side, by dint of the fact that their press release was not written in ALL CAPS, and/or with every sentence ending in "!!!!!!"

Brown Nosers.

NOW the NEA is concerned with a partisan judge? Tell ya what - when Sotomayor and Kagan - both HIGHLY PARTISAN judges resign then you can talk - until then - STFU!

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is next up IMO to replace the moribund Ruth Buzze Ginsberg. She would have been my pick over Justice Kavanaugh but PDJT’s sense of timing is far keener than mine.

And uh, what’s this about RBG’s place on SCOTUS being “the Jewish seat”? I think what’s really meant is the “far left liberal Jewish seat”. OK, fine. Pres. Trump should nominate a Jewish candidate who is a red hot supporter of Israel and believes in American exceptionalism.

Take that, Chuckie.

What a bunch of sore f-ing losers.

When they don’t get what they want, it’s because morality itself has been destroyed.

When we don’t get what we want, it’s “we don’t want to hear from the people who caused the problem.”

Educators? I wasn’t aware the NEA had anything to do with legitimate, scholarly endeavors such as the 3 Rs.

Isn’t Joseph Goebbels the NEA’s most famous past president?

Exactly.

I was a teacher at one time in my long ago past.

I HAD to join the NEA in order to get the liability insurance they provide for teachers so if a teacher gets sued, there is some way to defend yourself.

I understand there is now a competing organization but don’t know anything about it.

THE NEA IS A COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION. IT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AS MUCH AS ANY ORGANIZATION IN THE COUNTRY.

If the NEA scum are against it, that provides even more validation that Kavanaugh is the right choice. CHOKE ON IT, NEA.

It wouldn’t surprise me if more than half of FReepers were too old to have school-age children. I’m 52, and I’m a youngster here.
