This is good news, actually. From my experience, the NEA manages to screw up everything they touch.

[Teacher317]

That burns me more than almost anything else.

[sarasota]

Yet they continue (I mean, the union bosses continue) to hold the power. And the taxpayer must dance to this tune.

Homeschoolers unite! the new force to be reckoned with. God and country.

I recommend the aforementioned book "NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education". The book was a real eye opener. As Americans we often take too much for granted and our freedoms allow us to be born optomists and unsuspecting of those who wish the demise of our "American Way". Three things have made a major impact IMO on society's apparent fall from grace. The NEA is a front runner in that they target our impressionable youth. With stay-at-home moms mocked into non-existence, the NEA has been emboldened to socialize/poison our children knowing many of their actions would fall below most parents "radar". The second nefarious influence has been the Warren/Marshall Courts which behind the scenes set many of the abusing legal precidents into motion through their modernizing views of what the Founding Fathers "meant" when the Constitution was forged. The final piece of the puzzle came in the form of the ACLU whose organization of trial lawyers (with coffers overflowing from tobacco claims) and "pocketed" Federal Judges took advantage of the Supreme Court's ambiguous precidents to set the HARD LEFT LIBERAL's agenda into motion. Our American way-of-life softened us into ignoring the subtle "warning signs"... if something didn't affect our immediate life we turned a blind eye to it. We have lost our ability to distinguish evil until it is fast upon us. Every compromise made on our morals has only emboldened those who wish us harm. The church has stood silent, infiltrated from within by those who undermined it's strength, spreading moral relativism as the "little leaven" that ruins the whole loaf. America is asleep and the wolves have thrown off their sheep's clothing...sad but sobering.

Thanks. I've updated my OB and SITMAP

It depends on the district. Mom was a public school teacher and never joined a union but some places it is required for employment.

Imagine she had to take some "heat" from the union teachers?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Yes, so lets not just talk about it. Lets do something! Oh, what can we do?

[Eska]

Discipline a student once for fighting, improper language, or any number of unacceptable behaviors; have the parents come to school and blame the teacher and you realize why there will never be non-union teachers.

Complete lack of parental support or accountability of their parenting skills in many families today. Add in all the politics and as teacher you quickly realize why you mark repub on that union application.

Allowing these groups to teach our kids is the definiton of 'child abuse!' I don't see how any parent can let these guys be responsible for his children. I would definitely home school, to avoid my children's being poisoned by these commies.

What I find interesting is that someone would have the gall to try to take some credit for "Enlightening" us to the fact that the NEA is a pro rat anti American operation. It's kind of like trying to take credit for having coined the word "Friday".

[codder too]

I believe teachers may request that the portion of their dues that goes to PACs be refunded to them. Hitting NEA in the purse would help.

"America is asleep and the wolves have thrown off their sheep's clothing...sad but sobering."

T, Exactly so. Hopefully we will awaken from our drunken "euphoria" in time. Peace and love, George.

What ever happened to the lawsuit from Mark Levin - Landmark Legal - he went after them and said he was able to prove the NEA was using funds from their members to support democrat candiates - against the wishes of some members. Also .. the NEA is not a "political" group - and therefore does not have to account for its funds. Mark sued to get this changed.

Anybody know what happened - or is this waiting for court time ..??

[Tarl]

I haven't heard any results for I am on a contract job away from home but last I heard, Washington state teachers were suing the NEA for using dues for political funding against their wishes or without their consent. (fingers crossed)

[AD from SpringBay]

So what else is new?

[Consort]

The Right ceded academia to the Left and we are all paying a steep price for it.

[lizma]

Imagine she had to take some "heat" from the union teachers?

No, most, even the principal, were non-union. (Rural fly-over country.)

[Eska]

Wife and I once did that. We were each reimbursed 15 bucks of the couple thousand they take.

But you know, I don't mind the NEA now that the slickster is history. I once taught in a native village. One high school student started swearing at me and started talking about not having to be white mans dog. The kid wouldn't exit the room, so I gently lifted him by the arm out of his seat and of course he swung at me. Once I had him out in the hall he settled down. Next day, half the dysfunctional village was ready to sue me or at least have my certification revoked. The respectable people in the village wouldn't go against their relatives. THE NEA UNION WAS ALL I HAD FOR HELP & PROTECTION.

I might not agree with the NEA and we're still reg repubs; but teachers today need the nea more than ever and most realize that. I don't hound the wife about quitting the NEA anymore; lesson learned.
