NEA is supporting the UNION, not the kids and the elites in schools from asst. principals, to principals, superintendents and their highly paid secretaries/assistants.

I saw a Fox News interview of this woman who's the president of the national teachers union. You could see the desperation in the tenor of her voice and on her face, trying to explain how Trump being elected will be terrible for education. Huh?

What she was really concerned about was losing her power as the union chief.

Many of you on FR are old enough to remember when we were in school in the 50s and 60s and US students ranked number 1 in the world in education skills.

Two things happened after I got out of school in the 60s that have caused our education system to tank in world rankings.

First, Carter created the Education Department. Grow the federal government and centralize control. Two, the public sector teacher's unions, that favors teachers and administrators over the students in the classroom, took over the public school system. Both have been disasters in educating students. The system is not working. At least not for the students, who now rank 25th to 35th in the world in their skills.

I've been waiting for the media types to ask how Trump's education plan could be worse than the NEA's agenda by taking the kids knowledge from first place in the world to near the bottom of the barrel in just a few decades.

Waiting..... Waiting.... Cue sound of crickets chirping.....
