School districts advertise job openings with the Democratic Socialists of America

Imagine the outcry if the school districts were advertising on the GOP web site for teachers!

I stumbled onto this site while searching for links between the NEA and the DSA. I have becomed concerned about reports that the NEA has been pushing the U.N. PEACE curriculum as an anti-war curriculum in schools across the country and I am trying to pin down the link between the NEA and the anti-America, anti-Bush protesters. If any of you can help, I would sure appreciate it.

Nice catch !

[vannrox]

Interesting,they might be connected to the anti-war messages going to the school students in maine.

Just checked. No matches for Philadelphia. Very interesting.

I clicked through and poked around and didn't see anything pointing to the DemSocs. Did I miss it?

[Obi-Wandreas]

I noticed two of the districts that I'm applying to among the list. I don't see anything about the DemSocs either. Could it be that they just didn't know?

[litany_of_lies]

Have tried for 15 minutes to connect the dots and can't. Help.

Great work...great focus...

Paging Bill O'Reilly............

I tried from the DSA site as well...maybe I'm dense but I don't see a connection either.

I saw nothing valuable at that site. It seemed a legit job search.
You'll find out more about the DSA's student connections through their youth programs.

Try this link. I was following the links from the DSA site. DSA

It went back further, but that was the page before the job search. This is the description from the web search:United States Web Directory: Democratic Socialists of AmericaResource that allows education career seekers to find employers seeking to fill teaching jobs and other education related employment. www.library.educationamerica.net/cat/331684

The DSA has changed their web site, broken it into segments, making it very difficult to follow the links and connect the dots. I just happened to stumble on this one.

See post 15.

Eva,

The Education America website has links to all political parties, including the Republican Party, and the Democratic Socialist Party, which is the link that you stumbled upon.

What's the big deal?

It's called a Web Directory.

Follow the link at the bottom of the home page, and it will take you to:
Web Directory

Good catch. Nowhere on the actual page is the DSA tie-in disclosed. Interesting that it's there in the web search (presumably meta-tags).

Now if I'm a school district looking for a teacher and I subscribe to educationamerica.net, do I have any idea I'm probably finding a dedicated socialist? (Probably not).

If I'm a non-aligned job seeker and put my resume up, do I know I'm under the umbrella of a bunch of dedicated socialists? (probably not)

How much money do they make on this effort? I tried to apply with bogus data as a school district to determine fees, but couldn't do so, instead getting a message that someone would contact me in 48 hours.

This is very creepy. It smacks of being a carefully stealth effort to raise money for socialist causes.

[litany_of_lies]

Possible retract based on #18. But why does DSA deserve any prominence compared to the "mainstream" parties? Where's the "Libertarian" or "Green" or "Constitution" link?
