Several schools my kids attention had PTO's (Parent/Teachers Organization) not PTA so that funds for dues were kept locally. The PTO's are in no way affiliated with the liberal PTA. I was President of a PTO, but in no way would I have ever been a member of the PTA.
They are simply an auxilliary for the NEA and DNC.
"Several schools my kids attention had PTO's ..."
We have PTOs in this area as well.
