Education Secretary Rod Paige called the nation's largest teachers union a "terrorist organization" during a private White House meeting with governors on Monday.

[LandofLincoln]

Mr. Paige should have used the word domestic in his statement, the NEA is a "domestic terrorist organization"

Do you think President Bush is going to lose the support of the NEA, now that word of this has leaked out.

[Lawdoc]

Mr. Paige is my new hero!

[txzman]

LOL! I hope that was sarcasm.

The NEA is more of a communist organization than a teachers union. Bush didn't have ANY of their support to begin with.

[GiveEmDubya]

""Do you think President Bush is going to lose the support of the NEA""

He can't lose something he never had.

[eleni121]

He is my hero too!

Mr. Page is the Man!

He is right that the NEA represents the status quo and that is unacceptable in light of failing unionist NEA domintated schools resulting in failing our children.

The NEA is also a front for the demorats and the leftist liberal secularist agenda in America. It is a dangerous organization that has infiltrated our society through its positions and members.

The search^ is our friend and can prevent multiple (triple, in this case) postings.

[LandofLincoln]

Settle down, Francis!

If I am adding a post, or adding TO a post, the bandwidth is the same. Not really looking to be the 200th boxcar on a train. Hoping to start a new train. Are you on board? If so, not idiotic boxcars, please.

The 'silent' NEA is waiting for Mrs. Clinton to be drafted...on two occasions this week I saw first hand the indoctrination of children 7 - 13 on smoking...fear, out right fear of a cigarette; another child after years of eating eggs now refuses to eat them; saying both will kill you. and meat is alllllll bad! Our schools are killing our children!

Sorry I can't join your train. Too busy doing a search before posting this^.

[yatros from flatwater]

Merriam-Webster has terrorism as "the systematic use of terror (a state of intense fear) especially as a means of coercion".

As I understand it (having been a card-carrying member of one), labor unions utilize fear and intimidation to coerce cooperation with their goals and objectives. Witness their response to "scabs". By definition, individuals and organizations which use the provocation of fear as a means of coercion are terroristic.

QED, Mr. Paige was correct in his assertion.

Unfortunately, that entity which holds the monopoly on indiscriminate application of fear as coercive force pays his salary and doles out boons to the NEA. No shortage of sooty pots and kettles here.

[AlaskaErik]

I think traitors, treasonous and a fifth column would better describe the NEA.

[Warrior Nurse]

Good for Mr. Paige tell the truth and shame the devil. They would call him racist but he is black. Too bad the Dims never put more than two minorities as cabinet members at the same time. GW's cabinet really looks like America.

[spintreebob]

Totally off topic? So I freeped your train with my boxcar.

[spintreebob]

LOL, Want to start a friendly freep of Sean Hannity in Decatur Sat morning, Mar 13?

So I had a critical typo in my first try. Typing was my worst grade in HS.

Go Rod Go,

"The NEA is more of a communist organization than a teachers union"

I was about to post that they ARE the number one communist
organization in the US.

Parents should never ever send their children to a pubic(sic)
school in the US.
