'The NEA is a terrorist organization,'

Not a good thing to say. Not for a person in a position of authority. Nope, not good. I don't care if you think it's accurate. Think of the image it conjures -- or at least it may be trying to conjure -- men with AK-47s killing people, suicide bombers on buses, planes into the WTC? Nah, I don't think so. That kind of hyperbole is quite a bit over the top.

I wouldn't like it directed at me. You can't complain about libs with flamethrowers if we're shooting them back.

Agreed, but this article gives us absolutely zero context. Lousy journalism.

Paxil-addled children shooting up their high School? Ritalin-addicted children committing sucide? There's more truth than lie to his statment.

Still wasn't a smart thing to say with pinkocommirdraftdodgerliberals in the room.

Yes maybe!!!!!!!!!!! Suicide bombers!? The NEA is an un checked, un relenting source of left leaning propaganda. Remember, some of the Terrorist were educated here and fed a steady diet of subversion at home and school. As we say the rest is history.

This man knows exactly who is holding back education. You cannot improve education when some of the teachers cannot (Massachusetts) pass a proficiency exam after graduation from college with a degree in elementary or secondary education. Protecting NEA members functioning at a substandard level is a cancer spreading through many school districts. Get the dead wood out, pay the good ones enough to keep them in place and watch the kids improve.

One thing I did note all through elementary school, all teachers children had the best and brightest teachers. They knew who was functioning at a high level and made sure their offspring got into the select classrooms of the ones they considered the best.
