Educators denounce vote to confirm Kavanaugh who is unfit to serve on Supreme Court

NEA President: Only thing to do ‘for those who share disappointment in this moment: vote'


WASHINGTON - October 06, 2018 -

By a razor-thin margin, the U.S. Senate today confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to serve as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings ended with gripping testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who shared under oath heart-wrenching and vivid memories of her sexual assault at the hands of Kavanaugh when they were high school students.

The following is a statement that can be attributed to NEA President Lily Eskelsen García:

“From the outset, it was clear that Judge Kavanaugh would not be the fair-minded jurist needed on the Supreme Court. The Senate confirmation process has only further demonstrated that he lacks the qualifications and temperament to hold one of the most powerful positions in our government. Judge Kavanaugh is simply unfit to serve on the highest court of the land. We must now hope that he can find the impartiality and necessary disposition needed to serve the nation as a Supreme Court justice.”

“The message sent by Senate Republicans to the nation, and in particular to our children, was loud and clear: It is acceptable to appoint a hyper-partisan justice who is beholden to the White House. It is acceptable to disregard the stories of sexual assault survivors. It is acceptable to disregard dishonesty under oath. Well, educators know that these things are never acceptable. There is only one thing left to do for those of us who share disappointment in this moment: vote.”

None of the gentlemen seems to notice that she’s fallen over on her nose. Aren’t they worried about her? Justice Sotomayor seems a little concerned, at least. Wondering what to do if RBG falls out of the chair, perhaps.

“Don’t worry. Your local public school is still great.”

OF COURSE it is! It’s just those ‘other’ schools that get the Leftist teachers. Why the teachers at the school that MY CHILDREN attend are absolute pillars of the community. Heck, I’ve even see them in the same supermarket that I shop at...therefore they must be conservative, or at least not liberal.

(my attempt to rationalize how any FReeper can CONTINUE to keep sending their kids into that brainwashing system)

The NEA is nothing more nor less than a subversive communist front organization.

The National Education Association relies on the Government.

Is it wise to attack those that have the power to (legally) destroy your organization?

The NEA is on the wrong side of the tsunami that is washing across our nation. They really should be mending fences instead of attacking those that control their destiny.

This is proof that the NEA has agendas other than education. Destroy the NEA!

“Nope .... they’re COMMIES .... and they ain’t dumb...They have our kids for six hours a day, five days a week ... they know what they’re doing.”

AGREE!!! There are still FAR TOO MANY people on our side, from here to the top levels of government that think liberals are dumb or misguided (and therefore could be flipped to our side). Ask those some people if they think that Hitler’s people were dumb (of course not), or misguided and therefore flippable - by simply reasoning with them that Jews are not scum...of course they can’t be flipped. After this week people better understand that there is NO DIFFERENCE here with Leftists - they want and demand victory at any cost and will dispose of anyone who might prevent that, as we just saw with Kavanaugh. No different with our teachers.

“Teachers come out of lefty teacher colleges.”

Agree, but that doesn’t register with anyone, sadly.

“ATTEND YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. “

Can’t hurt, but NEVER FORGET that the government schools are funded by GOVERNMENT, not by parents, and they will always answer to government first. It’s that simple.

“Educators” for the most part are LIB losers who are overpaid and underworked. The nea is a commie front group abusing our children.

The school board directors are supposed to represent the people ... they are elected.

Unfortunately, most people have no idea what exactly they vote for.

IMO .... too many directors are the closet commies of the community .... the traitors that look like us and etc.

̣99% of modern Educators, at least in the Public School system and the most of the Universities are patently unfit to be called educators.
