My wife is a teacher and belongs to the NEA but always gets the PAC portion of the dues returned to her. She is appalled and furious that Moore's garbage is being run at the national convention. Said it made her feel the same way she'd feel if the NEA had decided to have someone like the leader of the KKK as keynote speaker. Sad to say but boneheaded decisions like that by the NEA leadership negatively affect local bond issues and tar even teachers who disagree with the boneheads.
As I suggested above, FreeRepublic ought to make a special effort to welcome teachers and families of teachers who see what is happening in public education and who oppose the schemes of the NEA, etc. I'll wager that if either of you, or both together, or with others you know, approached Jim Robinson with the request to create such a special effort, he would welcome it with open arms. And so would I as a 22 year veteran of mostly public education.
