The NEA does this not only because most of their members are liberals, but because they want more money and more power, and Kerry will give it to them. Even the AP admits this.

Did they just copy the press release and add the last paragraph for show?

This is important for FL, where the teachers union is the dominant force of the Democrat Party.

Union or professional society makes no difference in this case, the NEA exists to defend the monopoly guild interests of the graduates of schools and departments of education, a group granted a monopoly on teaching in public schools and in some states any schools by the supine legislatures of the several state (solidly Republican states like Kansas where I reside being no excpetion--indeed the only exceptions I am aware of are, paradoxically liberal New England state where old-money private schools have enough clout to insist on being allowed to hire teacher with real degrees in real majors), a group morover consisting overwhelmingly of people who chose the college or university major because it was the easiest one, where they could take 3-credits in using AV equipment, weren't forced to learn to write well, take any serious mathematics or science, or really learn much of anything to get a Bachelor's degree. (I see the wretched students in my classes when I teach lower division mathematics courses, and with a few shining exceptions they are terrible almost to the point of being uneducable at the university level.)

It was my understanding that it was the NEA members who were delegates to the Democratic Convention that were leading the boos of the Boys Scouts.

Aye!!!

Why would anyone who is interested in education want to preserve public schools anyway. They don't make any sense and they are totally unnecessary.

More money to dumb down the students and keep in lock-step with the communist manifesto.

...the union has never endorsed a Republican for president and typically spends $9 out of every $10 it raises on Democrats.

Breaking news...

Why is the NEA allowed to endorse anyone for President? They are a nonprofit.

The NEA - the NATIONAL EXTORTION ASSOCIATION - and trial lawyers, PERFECT TOGETHER!

Mark Levin's Legal Foundation has a case pending against the NEA about its status....NEA reports ZERO for political donations it makes on the forms its submits to justify its non-profit status....when it should be paying TAXES on that money.

As a former teacher, I refused to join this union the last few years I taught because of its tactics, philosophy, and directions.

Your understanding and use of "nuance" screams that you are very liberal. Our school system is a failure. I think most involved support it because they would fail themselves in private industry. Shameful.
