Bottom line is the NEA is winning all the battles and the feds are in cahoots with them. More and more money being dumped down the black hole of education and more and more federal control over our schools. Until more conservatives become teachers, the NEA will never change and conservatives will continue to lose the battles over education.
Consider what the NEA is saying: other than to use general treasury money to support candidates, the NEA doesn't use its general treasury money to support candidates! Any student submitting such a total contradiction in terms would merit an F!
