I teach at a local community college. My “union”, I had no choice in joining, in 2004 sponsored a big bus trip to some Kerry event. I really wanted to write to the union rep and ask when we were going to a Bush event, but I really needed the job then.
But, luckily, my situation has improved, and if I get any union garbage about BO this time around, I’m going to make the biggest stink about equal time for McCain/Palin supporters!! Yes, I know it’s pointless. but I’ll feel better.
(I’m a part timer, union membership is mandatory, I tried to opt out. All they have ever done for me is take their dues & restrict the number of hour I’ve been allowed to teach - for the good of everyone - barf)
The Association of American Educators, to which I've belonged for more than 10 years, is a truly professional teacher organization and a breath of fresh air compared to the tawdry NEA, which never met a liberal idea it couldn't enthusiastically espouse.
