Wait and see if this teacher does quit, or what happens to him if he does. In most school districts we have been in, teachers are fired for this or that down the road soon after dropping out of the NEA, just reality and not much that can be done about no matter what anybody may think. Many teachers disagree with the NEA but aren’t willing to lose their career after 20 years and just stay out of the politics. Our NEA dues are around $1200/year. Nea claims they only spend $15 of that on pacs and will reimburse that amount, and no more.
$15 in pac money per member is still $48 million. But from his $900 per year in union dues and your $1200... if those are typical the NEA pulls in close to $3 billion and creates absolutely NOTHING.
