A teacher quickly realizes that if you want to continue teaching (in most states) you better not rock the boat or refuse the NEA shakedown. I have seen teachers blackballed and driven from the profession. Most teachers try to ignore all the politics and concentrate on teaching.

Also, too bad all the dysfunctional parents can't be taken to court for their failure to properly raise their kids. It all starts in the home. The biggest problem facing education today is the social collapse occurring within America. Problems in education are just a reflection of ourselves.

Teachers need some protection from the blackballing that would undoubtably result from members opting out. The process should be anonymous and structurally independant from performance evaluations. I know many teachers that are real conservatives, and yet their contributions to the democratic party for one year will surpass my life's political contributions as a small business owner. Something is really wrong with that!

I agree with your statement about how dysfunctional parents are a major factor in the challenges teachers and students are facing.

Here's a different take on your statement: Maybe the social collapse is happening due to the socialist, humanistic approach that's been infiltrating the public schools since 1965 (before most of today's parents started their own government-run schooling). Read up, please, on what's REALLY going on in the schools and WHY. Try books/articles (many available on the Internet) by any of the following authors:

Their writings are not only informative and enlightening, they ALL back up everything they say with GOVERNMENT documentation. The NEA is just the more visible of organizations seeking to overturn our Republic.

Those whom you are blaming are products of the system: parents educated in public schools INTENDED to fail. The children know who is in charge and it isn't parents. They have been disempowered by an NEA bureaucracy that has sold out to the UN and asserts its primacy over the family the day the kids arrive in the classroom. The teachers force a dysfunctional pedantry into the kids and they rebel, especially boys with the sense to recognize a injustice for what it is. Any parent who tries to control their children is threatened with losing them to Child Protective Services.

The teachers bought the globalist curriculum and don't make their leadership change. They should sit in their pot proudly and masticate their fecal product with pride. I hope they suffer for it appropriately until the system crashes and the parents take it back.

Homeschool your kids before it's too late.

I got something in my email yesterday about Dr. Dobson and some others who are telling parents to remove their kids from all public schools.

There appears to be another "Christian" group who say that this approach is wrong and that Christian kids need to be "salt and light" in the public schools. <I realize this is open to debate but it is interesting as I speak to many church going parents who send their kids to public schools without giving it a second thought.
