The National Education Association is suggesting to teachers that they be careful on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks not to "suggest any group is responsible" for the terrorist hijackings that killed more than 3,000 people.
Suggested lesson plans compiled by the NEA recommend that teachers "address the issue of blame factually," noting: "Blaming is especially difficult in terrorist situations because someone is at fault. In this country, we still believe that all people are innocent until solid, reliable evidence from our legal authorities proves otherwise."

And, I suppose the USA brought on the attack on Pearl Harbor all by itself,too? Here's the Japanese fleet just minding their own business and BAM! This is why I VOTE...to stop the insane course the liberal jerks intend to take my country.
Folks, I have had encounters with these guys. They are very very powerful, and very very very dangerous.
The NEA has the capacity to reach, what?, 80 million kids?, and the issue of illegal immigrants encompasses approx 8-12 million. Which is more important?
I believe it is imperative that this gut wrenching video be required viewing for each and every American high school student. Americans must know the truth about the evil we are up against, whether or not the NEA likes it.
Ahh, yes. Let us cower before the mighty Muslim extremists so that we do not again incur their wrath!
Feh.
The NEA, ACLU, american communist party, DNC, PBS, NPR, are all socialist, anarchistic organizations driven to expunge the United States from the planet. Support them or even tolerate them and this country will continue its slow slide to oblivion. You may think this is fine, but I do not.
With the passage of the years, the leadership of the United States will inevitably pass into the hands of our children and grandchildren. If they are dumb as a hoe handle on the subjects of the nature of America and the principles that have made it great, they will be utterly unfit to maintain that greatness.
The NEA could not be doing more to destroy America in the hands of the next generation, if it had deliberately set out to tear this nation to bits. For the long-term future, they are our greatest enemy.

Question for Rep. Foley: How about the NEA's tax-exempt status, Congressman? Are they Constitutionally entitled to that, too? 'Cause it sure sounds to me like this tax-exempt organization is peddling a political agenda...
You're joking, right? Both my wife and I get ample opportunity to see the inadequacy of the public schools as far as reading skills go. We both teach Sunday school at our church (she teaches 4th and 5th grade, I teach Jr. High and High)and have kids from different several different schools represented. Almost without exception their reading skills are so abysmal that you really can't even refer to them as skills. Our 7-year old reads as well or better than many of the 4th and 5th graders, and our 10-year old is as good a reader as many of the Jr./Sr. High kids. The way these kids have been cheated and just passed along without needed skills should be a crime.
As for the NEA not repeating mistakes of the past; it's only because they're too busy making newer and bigger mistakes!
Have you seen the lesson plans the NEA are promoting? If so, do you plan on following them?
If you do plan on following them, will you tell your students that what they saw and heard for almost a full year about who was to blame for the attack that killed 3000 people has been a lie all along?
If you do not plan on following the NEA plan and teach the truth, will that alone put you in danger of losing your job, or worse?
Are you required to follow the NEA plan of blaming America, which has always been the most tolerant nation in history contrary to the socialist claims?
[As I stated at the very beginning, these are honest questions I would like to know the answers to. After all, it has been 50 years since I attended a public school as a student.]
I wander if the promotion of Wahabism and Jihad will be added to the Diversity Celebrations this school year? It will make interesting mixture with the pederasty, lesbianism and transvesticism. Children will be edified. Will they bring Al-Qaeda instructors to the schools too?
Can't they just teach them reading, writing, math, science, art, wood shop, sports?
