The NEA became a Socialist front group a long time ago. They wear a mask.
The NEA is not about students - after all, el-hi students don't vote - nor is it about education. It is about providing cushy salaries for its members, and feeding back union dues in the way of contributions to the Dem Party.
To say we need to spend more on public education in this country is ludicrous - on a per student basis, we spend more than any other industrialized nation. And where is the return?
