One way to stop the NEA is to cut into it's PAC funding by convincing teachers who are currently members to seek refunds for that part of their dues that are being used (illegally) for politcal activities. See the following information:

Another way to help defund the NEA is to convince education majors to join the AAE instead of the NEA when they take their first teaching job:
Association of American Educators
25201 Paseo de Alicia, Suite 104
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
Phone: 949-595-7979 or 1-800-704-7799
Fax: 949-595-7970
Email: info@aaeteachers.org
Website: www.aaeteachers.org
Please note that the AAE is not a union. It is a professional association. Annual dues are only $125 per year for teachers (includes $2 Million liability insurance - one of the reasons teachers join the NEA or AFT is for liability insurance). Student, retired educator, and associate/support memberships are $25 per year.
Labor Complaint Is Latest Hurdle For Teachers' Union
"New Teachers Not Necessarily Joining NEA
Landmark's most recent complaint was filed just one week after Mike Antonnuci, director of the Education Intelligence Agency, commented that some NEA state chapters are failing to recruit as many new teachers into the union as in past years...
Kafer says financially supporting the NEA could be especially troubling for a young, conservative teacher.
"I would think that would be particularly difficult to allow the money that you worked so hard for to go, not for negotiations for higher pay or the things that unions are supposed to do, instead it's going to defeat candidates that you support and going to causes that you really don't agree with," she argued. "I would think that would be a big disincentive."
In the most recent set of NEA resolutions, Kafer notes that the word "sexual" appears 41 times, "sexual orientation" 19 times, "reading" six times, and "mathematics" only five times.
"It seems like a preoccupation with an agenda that has nothing to do with reading and mathematics. I would think that would be a great concern to a teacher who is deeply committed to learning," she added. "There are other resolutions in there, too, about the environment, about cultural issues, things that have nothing to do with teaching, learning, or kids."...
"To some of these people, the union is an obsolete thing," she concluded. "They want to be able to control their careers."
Please pass this information on to teachers and education majors you know.
Au contrare.
