I think there is some misinformation in this article, the NEA is not a "union", it is a professional teachers association. Secondly, the NEA has to have a seperate entity, such as NEA PAC to endores Candidates. I am not sure why NEA is said to be the endorsers of John Kerry. It should be the NEA PAC Endores John Kerry.

I dealt with them for 12 years as a school board member, board president and member of our negotiating team. There isn't anything "professional" about them. They act like a union, they talk like a union and they smell like a union. Therefore, I have to conclude that they are a union.

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.
