Reg Weaver, the current NEA president, has stated that the union’s rank and file is roughly 1/3 Democrat, 1/3 Republican and 1/3 independent

I doubt it.

It's probably true . I taught for 35 years and there are a LOT of CLOSET conservatives in education . Most keep quiet as to not cause problemswith their career . Policy is not made by the teachers , it is made by the legislatures and governing body of NEA .

My guess is that about 40 percent of the teachers are Republicans.
