The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has ordered the National Education Association and its state affiliates to stop violating the religious rights of members who disagree with the union's political causes.
In a ruling made public yesterday, the federal agency said it would sue the nation's largest teachers union if it did not stop forcing teachers who categorized themselves as "religious objectors" to undergo annual written procedures so their dues would not fund the union's political agenda.

You should probably get the moderators' help. This could get out of control . . .
looks like you already did . . .
. . . by the NEA? Inconceivable. Those wonderful professionals who teach our children wouldn't do that!I'm shocked--shocked!! </sarcasm>
"The NEA union's illegal scheme is intended to force teachers of faith to shut up and pay up," said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, a Virginia-based nonprofit group that represented the objectors.
This is good news. Will it go even further into the realm of NEA and GLSEN?
The NEA wants to take the place of God for the children whose families worship Him. They want to establish a completely new morality, and to prosyletize your children into accepting it. They want to marginalize, intimidate and embarrass those who do have sincerely held religious beliefs. Their new morality is based on teaching that abortion is 'good,', that any kind of perverted sexual behavior is 'good,' that there is no absolute right and wrong, that anyone's beliefs (except those who are traditionally religious) are acceptable. They are aiming for a Godless, genderless, sexually promiscuous and perverted, baby-killing-loving society. And even if your kids are home-schooled or protected from this, they will still be adversely affected as they grow up and raise their own children. This needs to be fought will tenacity, skill and compassion. I am grateful that the Bush Adm. has entered this battle on the right side.
If this ruling is made nationwide, and 100,000 religiously-oriented public school teachers take advantage of it, that will mean $40 million dollars stripped from the hands of the NEA. That is a good start, at least.
