Political Activism Takes Center Stage With The NEA

Too bad teaching doesn't take center stage...

"The NEA's foreign policy goals include ratification of the United Nations treaties on the Rights of the Child and on Discrimination against Women."

Yeah, the unborn child has rights until the mother trumps those rights. I hate those sick B**tards.

The delegates were welcomed instead by U.S. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who used her time at the podium to pitch for her legislation to give congressional representation to the District of Columbia.

It hardly matters, since UNELECTED Eleanor Holmes Norton gets to vote on almost everything in Congress anyway.

(Rules are for Republicans.)

NEA/Public schools Ping

[sgtbono2002]

At least the teachers got a chance to vote, I belong to the IAFF, International Association of Firefighters and I got no vote, the Executive Board and Shitberger decided For me.

Are the "unfunded" homeschooler's parents still paying taxes for schools they're not using?

"The NEA's feminist lobbying goals include "reproductive freedom without governmental intervention" (but, of course, with tax funding), affirmative action, assigning women to military combat, and the Equal Rights Amendment. The NEA's gay goals include a federal statute prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, income tax benefits for domestic partners, and hate crimes legislation."

Everyone should know. And as usual, good post, Joe!

BTTT!
