Sissy Jochmann, a second grade teacher from Pennsylvania and chair of the Conservative Educators Caucus, delivered a two-minute speech in which she urged the NEA to support students in their right to choose not to engage in homosexual behavior. But Jochmann says delegates booed and shouted angrily at her while she spoke.

NEA - "We're very tolerant, just not to you, Sissy"

The NEA is over 25% republican, believe it or not. They ask your party status when you join, so the nea know what they report is the truth. That's not counting all the teachers that don't join. The nea must see the writing on the wall. Problem is union leadership is ultra liberal.

Actually, most conservative teachers join the nea for legal protection. The first time you have a nutcake parent upset about how you handled little Johnny's behavior complain to district, then all the politics; anyone would pay the 600 bucks to join. Necessary evil if you plan to teach as a career.
