My wife and I are considering a pre-school of our choosing for our kids so that having more close together would be a bit less difficult. When we finish having kids and they are all potty trained we *will* pull them all back into the home for education or more to a nation that allows us to do so.

The NEA is the enemy

Amen. NEA are a bunch of socialists attempting to extort additional taxpayer dollars and to force children into government schools for brain-washing, while shielding its membership from any kind of public accountability.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., told delegates that she will fight school vouchers "with every breath in my body." Reiterating the message of her book "It Takes a Village," she called for universal preschool for 4-year-olds.

It takes a Socialist State that knows best for the citizens. "Pay your taxes and shut the h*ll up!"

Hillary is now on record that she will fight with EVERY BREATH in her body AGAINST choice.

Her moral code will be your child's moral code.

...the NEA urged a national holiday honoring Cesar Chavez

The point being? How about one for Jimmy Hoffa too?

Defund the system, that'll bring about needed changes. Taking your kids out but leaving school districts with funds just gives them operational money to change laws so that you can't teach at home.

Free up the funds from school district control so that you have a choice of schools for your kids.

If public school is so great, let's fund it through Senior Year of college and eliminate private schools altogether.

The NEA supports statehood for the District of Columbia.

This will sure benefit the teachers in the union. Someone please litigate this improper use of union dues.

Not just to retirement. All the way up to your euthanasia-assisted-suicide, and to the tax they put on the money you want to leave your children.

The NEA is more dangerous to the future of liberty in America than the CPUSA ever was.

Good point. The gift that keeps on taking.

The NEA wants to continue the fraud known as public education and produce a population of functionally illiterate idiots incapable of making change, describing the chemical formula for water, naming either or both sides in the Civil War/WBTS/WONA or understanding basic economics. Instead, self-esteem and bumper-sticker slogans masquerading as an understanding of history and current events are the new educational currency.

In short, the NEA is producing the perfect race of Democrats and the DNC is duty bound to keep the NEA in high cotton.

No instead of giving minority parents vouchers to send their kids to the best schools, we want them to keep their kids in mediocre schools run by an army of overpaid unionized bureaucrats.

“The Department of Education’s $67.2 billion appropriation, by the way, is about 2.4 percent of the Federal Government’s roughly $2.8 trillion budget in fiscal year 2007.”

Thats 2.4 percent too much. I read some where that if we took the Department of Educations budget and divided it up among the total number of children in public schools today, it would amount to about 10 thousand dollars per student. I could easily keep my kids in private school with that kind of money.

Is one of their goals to address the issue of why hundreds of NEA members molest children and what should be done in the future to better screen applicants?

>The NEA, the ACLU, Move On, People for the American Way, the global warming crowd, PETA, the tree huggers, the Globalists, etc., etc., etc.. ALL enemies of the American family, wholesomeness, high standards, good work ethics, and American sovereignty,

Let us pray that old fashioned principles prevail, and that Hillary and company have dealt themselves a fatal blow.
