Now let me get this right, the teachers, who job is to teach children belong to a union who supports groups which want fewer children?

What's next UAW supports mass- transit?

It's even worse. The teachers represented by the NEA are woefully ignorant in many other subjects, as well, yet they purport to be qualified to "instruct" in virtually all areas of endeavor. I have always said that the reason there are so many Democrat assholes in this country is the result of compulsory education. How can a communist-sympathizer-socialist-union-member (i.e.teacher), who's never worked a real day job, who's never met a payroll, and who's only interest is padding their union-negotiated paychecks, pretend to represent and educate their students about the history, organization, and structure of a democratic republic based on free-market capitalism. Teachers are fundamentally hostile to the communities they so dismally fail to serve!
