TEACHERS are basically REQUIRED to belong to the NEA.....and union thugs do their best to blacklist those who would try not to belong.....DUH.

unoin thugs? come on now you are really stretching the suspenders of disbelief.

so what is your position? is it? "I DO NOT BLAME THE TEACHERS - I blame the NEA and Federal Government......AND the local communities who implement THEIR policies and rules."

or

"TEACHERS are basically REQUIRED to belong to the NEA..."

what i love most about the later statement is that those that you say are "blacklisted" want all the benefits conferred upon them by the union contract, but desire to give back nothing in return.
