Do we really care what some Leftwing educational association believes? I have always had a problem with public education and teachers’ unions. Educational Associations are no different.
Back in 1971, the NEA, meeting in Philadelphia, hired Saul Alinsky to do their organizing for them. The quality of public education has been on a verifiable down turn ever since.
This gender issue is dangerous. It is nothing but theory, not scientific fact. If teachers want to push gender theory, other teachers should be allowed to teach creation. Get your Leftist politics out of the public schools.
Yes. We do.
Because they team up with other left wing associations like the ACLU to develop a battle plan which encircles normal people.
Normal people hear about teachers bypassing parents, and think “that’s wrong.” Then these leftwing associations say “we are just following ethics AND the law.” Normal people say “that’s absurd.”
In rides the ACLU, trumpeting their legal nonsense.
At that point, it doesn’t matter what parents say. There is a stake in the ground that can only be removed by legislation or a court challenge.
In both cases, the left has put normal people in “check” in this chess match. It will take months or years to get out of check, during which time children are destroyed.
The only solution is to kick the chess board, send the piece flying everywhere, and remove your kids from the game.
31. Any source information about the BE A hiring Alinsky in 1971. This is very important to know as the Communists of all stripes, especially the CPUSA and the SWP (Trotskyist Socialist Workers ) Party made major efforts to get their members into the school system as teachers and administrators.
I helped my US Representative investigate this phenomenon re the DC school system which was run by a bunch of Michigan-origin Marxists (Bill Simon and his aides) and SWP as teachers union leaders - Eric Martel his SWPers).
The lead investigator of this effort to expose them was one of the IRS agents who nailed Al Capone, named Yates. He was cool.
We had some success in exposing this communist penetration of the DC school system but it was derailed by other issues.
