How about the NEA and its supporters and leaders deserve total scrutny in ALL their activities to undermine parents and the will of communities and their actions with taxpayer monies for the support of all things liberal. they are failures of the highest order.
My family lives in Cumberland Co., NC. There is a program the public schools have here called "Governed Choice." It is supposed to promote school choice- so many slots per school that are up for grabs, any parent that would like their kid to attend a school in a different attendance area applies and if a slot is available, the kid gets to go to that school. How nice! Except- this year, only 4 or 5 schools are accepting the choice applications, and those schools are the schools cited for failing to meet the No Child Left Behind standards and are considered failing schools. These schools HAVE to allow students who live in their district to enroll in another school district and provide transportation. Last year, one of these failing schools spent $140,000.00 on transportation for the kids who opted out of the failing school.
Isn't that a great program? Parents can "choose" to send their kids to failing schools.
