Minnesota nice? More like Minnesota stupid.
I was a member of NEA for exactly 1 year in 1990. Then they made the mistake of sending me the national convention manifesto. I read it and agreed with nothing. They never got another penny. I found other organizations to provide lawsuit insurance.

The most recent PISA results, from 2015, placed the U.S. an unimpressive 38th out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science. Among the 35 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which sponsors the PISA initiative, the U.S. ranked 30th in math and 19th in science.

I’ve worked in public education for 25 years and have never joined the union. I’m amazed teachers pay the monthly dues with no return on their bunk.
