The NEA is staunchly opposed to school choice, and the organization has a history of funneling millions of dollars into far-left politics. The head of the organization notably raked in more than $500,000 in pay and showered liberal causes with money, all while fighting to keep schools closed during the pandemic, according to reports.

Isn’t that an insurrection? Charge them with trespassing and put them away for 30 years?

It’s obstructing an official proceeding. Sounds like terrorist activity.

How does the NEA explain why the US expends the most money per student and ranks 40 in student performance?

Linda’s husband should have brought some of his employees to deal with the ‘protesters’ A few body slams, tossing some over the barricades. Record it and work it into a broadcast. She used to be in the business, but she’s a bit old for hands on work these days.

Students pay no NEA dues, so why should NEA care about them or their education?

Control of the education of our kids is EXTREMELY important to the cultural marxists and alphabet perverts. If you thought Pete Hegseth was a lightning rod... wait 'til you see the lengths to which the demons and "educatrices" will release satan's thrashing and gnashing and screaming when their beloved Indoctrination Bureaucracy is threatened.

Astro turf paid protesters. Water canons, tear gas and attack dogs. Problem solved.
