Landmark Legal Foundation today filed an unprecedented complaint with the U.S. Labor Department charging the National Education Association (NEA) with concealing the union’s use of millions of dollars in tax-exempt teachers’ dues and fees for political activities since at least 1994.

Good for exposing the crimminals, but the NEA will pay the fines and keep doing it.
If the courts remove their tax exempt status, they'll just increase school taxes to cover the fines - "for the sake of the children."
They'll say they need more money to cover books, sports activities or art , now that they have to pay taxes. They'll take it out on the kids. The kids are weapons in their arsonal.
We do as they say, or the kids will suffer their wrath.

Landmark’s complaint today to the Labor Department follows earlier complaints filed in 2000 and 2001 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on the NEA’s unreported political expenditures and activities, which violate federal tax and election laws.

Gee I wonder if they have the same Bookkeeper as Jesse Jackson??

Landmark press release writers must have gotten their education from NEA teachers, since they appear not to know what the word "flaunt" means.

Civil and criminal. How sweet would it be for the NEA to have to return tens of millions of dollars to members and have some leadership thugs go to jail.

How long before someone is quoted saying something to the effect, "If the NEA is forced to pay fines/give back dues, it would cause an undue burden on teachers across this country who would now lack important funding"?

You don't "flaunt" the law; you flout it.

I am shocked that the NEA would do this!
