1. I've read a book about the evils of the Catholic Church written by a liberal author around 1950. He calls the National Education Association "militant." Reg Weaver proves it here with all the left-wing claptrap about poverty, oppression,etc.
But get the title "Educators of the World, Unite!" Inspired by Karl Marx.("Workers of the world, unite") The "Education International" sounds like the "Communist International."
Public education is a "fundamental human right" and are the taxes to pay it a "fundamental human right, too.
Spreading liberalism around the world, Reg, doesn't inspire me.
2. Home schooling is something the NEA is monitoring, for the momemt. Some of the parents who do it are probably teachers themsleves and are or have been NEA members.
3. The NEA is determined to take down the No Child Left Behind law. Their lawsuit got thrown out by the first judge, but now they are back in court again. And they got friends like our Governor "Fast Eddie" Rendell and other states which happen to have Democrat governors including the "moderate" Brad Henry of Oklahoma.
NCLB holds schools accountable and a union like the NEA can't accept that. Administrators (NEA members too) stand to lose their jobs if students fail tests.
4. More attacks on No Child Left Behind. This article talks about "across the political spectrum" opposition to NCLB.
I admit it's federal control over local education but the article seems to point to more reading and math in schools and less political indoctrination and nonsense because of NCLB.
Federal power has been used to take on the likes of Al Capone and the KKK, is the National Education Association any less of a threat. NCLB is our Elliot Ness and FBI to take out the NEA.
I have seen postings on FR attacking testing in schools and it makes me wonder the NEA isn't trolling in to take us along with their agenda of tearing down No Child Left Behind.
Yes. Support school choice!
And she looks soooooo HOT! I can't wait until I can get her into the cleaning closet.
Signed, her math teacher.
(Support school choice)
Home education is more than a blip on the radar. It's at 3% and climbing fast. They know we are a threat to them, but thank G-d they don't know how much.
The top two reasons? Home-schooling parents believe school is dangerous, they told surveyors, or they want to provide children with a religious education."
My top reason for doing it is that I want my kids to get a better education than they can get out of public skools dominated by the NEA.
Yes. The illegal immigrants tried that, too, and now the American people want them gone yesterday!
Do it. Shut down the schools. March in the streets by the millions on the next communist holiday and DAMAND American obedience. Do it! Do it!
Any conservative worth their salt should be standing with the NEA on this one issue. NCLB is a boondoggle and overstepping of intended federal powers. And from someone whose immediate family is being impacted currently by NCLB, I say scrap it. Now.
"No Child Left Undrugged" is more like it.
They sound like a pack of wolves howling at the moon.
Afterwords, I have to take a cold shower.
Signed, her math teacher (again. She is soooo hot!)
Hail Hitler!
And that number is increasing each year - thank GOD (they can say that without getting expelled for not thinking like The Great Socialist Collective).
The U.S. has neither. The tax payers are getting robbed, and the kids are ending up just plain stupid.
The NEA
Sorry, but anything that requires someone else's labor or money is not a right.
Democrats in the teachers union hate work. It's a 4 letter word. They want their free government welfare checks back.
The children wouldn't be hurt if the left would stop using their little bodies and souls as political pawns.
Just stop the liberal indoctrination classes and get back to teaching academics. The problem would be solved.
That is so gay.
'He said students are so upset that they're blaming their teachers for having to take all these tests, and deciding to punish the teachers by refusing to answer the questions.'.........
I don't blame the kids. If they're not taught academics, how could they possibly pass an academics test?
I'm with the students 100%.
Yeah! There's tree hugging class, fisting class, abortion studies, race baiting 101, club queerdom, animal deity worship ,etc.
How can the liberal indoctrinators get to the really important stuff when useless junk like reading, writing and arithmetic keep getting in the way?
Congress has to do something to save the socialist revolution, and they have to do it now before the entire revolution falls apart.
Where's history? Oh yeah. Social studies is mandatory if the revolution is to be a success.
History has to be eliminated. Kids might learn from it. They'll figure out what "freedom" really means.
Oh! We can't have that in the liberal gooberment skrools now can we?
