National Education Association Set to Endorse Homosexual Marriage

Teacher's union begins plans to promote homosexual marriage in public schools

Dear xxxxxx,

The National Education Association is set to endorse homosexual marriage at their convention coming up in Orlando June 29 through July 6.

The new NEA proposal essentially says schools should support and actively promote homosexual marriage and other forms of marriage (two men and one woman, three women, two women and three men, etc.) in their local schools.

The new proposal, expected to pass overwhelmingly, is found under the B-8 Diversity paragraph:

The Association... believes in the importance of observances, programs and curricula that accurately portray and recognize the roles, contributions, cultures, and history of these diverse groups and individuals.

The Association believes that legal rights and responsibilities with regard to medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, legal immigration, domestic partnerships, and civil unions and/or marriage belong to all these diverse groups and individuals.

Translated, that means the NEA will promote homosexual marriage in every avenue they have available, including textbooks, to all children at all age levels and without the permission or knowledge of parents. Their plans will include every public school in America.

Take Action

First, please forward this to all parents with children in public schools. They need to be aware of the plans the NEA has to indoctrinate their children with their pro-homosexual, homosexual marriage agenda.

Click here to send your email to your NEA state affiliate.

Please forward this to public school teachers you know so they can be aware of the NEA's plans. In fact, their membership dues will be used to help implement the new NEA plan.

AFA encourages teachers who do not approve of their dues going to the NEA to find an alternative teacher's group to help them retain their benefits. Teachers might want to give the CEAI home page a look http://www.ceai.org/index.htm or find another alternative in their state.

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!

I'm still waiting for these fools to endorse MATH!

Typical. Ignore their failures at teaching the Three 'R's', and focus on an entirely peripheral issue.

Dear God, to think money goes from my wallet to these reprobates.

[Gopher Broke]

Tell the liberal NEA what you think of their endorsement of the homosexual agenda.....

Math, Science, US History, English, what else do I want these schools to teach??? NOTHING....let ME raise my child in regards to those "other" issues.

[EternalVigilance]

Time to fire them all.

One note:

The delegates to the NEA convention also make up the largest contingent to the Democrat convention every time.

The wolf just dresses up in a different sheepskin.

[JamesP81]

Parents have a responsibility to teach their children the truth so that they don't fall victim to the public skools. That does not excuse the public schools of their behavior, however. Make no mistake: the NEA-controlled school system is the enemy, and we are at war. This war is for the future.

Ahhh, I just mailed out a check for next years' home-school curriculum for my daughter. (Yes, a school where the Bible is read and letters are written to Marines in Iraq.)

what do wierd sex have to do with education? This is a social cause - not an education one

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Oh, goody. Why in the heck don't they just worry about teaching the things they should be teaching?

[DeweyCA]

At the last Democratic Convention in 2004, 10% of the delegates were NEA members. These are the people who want and have control over our kids for about 50 hours/week. Teach your kids to NOT trust their teachers on any discussions about social issues.

I'm sure there was a post earlier about a Canadian labor union, not a teachers union, that was promoting gay issues and would not allow dissension among the members.

Unions have become much more than just labor solidarity, they have become a den of liberality, ie; a religion.

Oh for God's sake!

What a big poke in the eye to more than half of this country.

Was there ever a time when the Nat'l Education Assn actually endorsed anything having to do with...oh I dunno, EDUCATION?

[sageb1]

If you think you're irritated now, read some of this

[rockthecasbah]

How about corporate style downsizing for public schools:

1. Fire everybody and make them reapply for their jobs
2. Eliminate middle management jobs (ie administrators)
3. Right size pensions so that they are comparable to private sector equivalents
4. Propose merit pay for teachers who perform
5. Create generous tax credits for private school tuition (with no strings attached)

Remind the public education establishment that they are our employees and serve at our pleasure.

We really need the House Un-American Activities Committee to be resurrected.

The ACLU and the NEA have become as much enemies of the west and of America as has Al Quaida.

My friend Marcelino says we need to SUE the NEA for the falling grades of graduating seniors

[Mikey_1962]

Excuse me, but after you have learned to educate our children REAL WELL, then maybe you should stake out positions on social issues.....

These socialist groups are attempting to replace parents with the state.

[Biblebelter]

At the 2000 Democrat Convention in Los Angeles it was the NEA more than any other group which was responsible for booing the Boy Scouts of America who had given the pledge. And that was of course because of the BSA stand in opposition to sexual deviancy.

This news does not surprise me as the NEA has been a tool of the left for quite awhile now...

I have been unable to locate a copy of NEA's 2006-2007 proposed resolutions on the web. If anyone can point me to such a copy it would be appreciated...

HOMESCHOOL PING

[Tired of Taxes]

I have been unable to locate a copy of NEA's 2006-2007 proposed resolutions on the web. If anyone can point me to such a copy it would be appreciated...

The NEA stopped posting its resolutions on the Web because there was so much backlash against them. The last I remember the NEA posting its resolutions was in 2001, but they removed them from their website soon afterward.

But there could be a renegade NEA member posting the resolutions on the net somewhere, so it's worth a search...

[DBeers]

LOL

[Tired of Taxes]

Right after I posted the last response, I came across this:

http://www.eiaonline.com/2005/12/2005-nea-resolutions-are-up.html

...which links to this:

http://www.nea.org/annualmeeting/raaction/resolutions.html

...which looks like it provides a link to a PDF file of NEA resolutions for 2005-2006.

Math, Science, US History, English, what else do I want these schools to teach??? NOTHING

Nothing at all is the correct answer. Abolish government "schools" and the problem disappears.

[Tired of Taxes]

From the 2205-2006 NEA Resolutions:

---

I-41. Elimination of Discrimination
The National Education Association is committed to the elimination of discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, economic status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identification, age, and all other forms of discrimination.

The Association believes that honest and open conversation is a precursor to change. The Association encourages its members and all other members of the educational community to engage in courageous conversations in order to examine assumptions, prejudices, discriminatory practices, and their effects.

The Association condemns any code or system of discrimination and exploitation. The Association also believes that sanctions are both justified and necessary against governments, organizations, businesses, and/or groups that utilize or support discriminatory practices. (1976, 2005)

[DBeers]

FYI -another posting of the same article on FR with some more good commentary:

National Education Association Set to Endorse Homosexual Marriage

[plan2succeed.org]

You reported that the NEA says: "The National Education Association is committed to the elimination of discrimination based on ... age...." That's the very excuse the ALA (American Library Association) uses to push sexually inappropriate material on public school and public library children nationwide.

Even though the US Supreme Court said, "The interest in protecting young library users from material inappropriate for minors is legitimate, and even compelling, as all Members of the Court appear to agree," the NEA appears to have joined the ALA in brushing aside the US Supreme Court.

Now the teachers union appears to have joined the librarians union in sexualizing children. Truly sickening.

[Tired of Taxes]

As a homeschool family, we use our public libraries often, and I did notice questionable material in the children's sections. I check every book I see my children pick up. But I didn't know about the "age discrimination" excuse used by the ALA. Thanks for the heads-up.

[khnyny]

[The Association condemns any code or system of discrimination and exploitation. The Association also believes that sanctions are both justified and necessary against governments, organizations, businesses, and/or groups that utilize or support discriminatory practices. (1976, 2005)]

So does this mean that the NEA is encouraging sanctions against states that outlaw "gay marriage" through their legislatures? How about sanctions against SCOTUS? The NEA deems themselves above the law of their city, state, municipality and country? Let's not even begin to talk about "businesses, organizations (churches, anyone?), and/or groups."

[MrCruncher]

What exactly does this topic have to do with "education" ?

[khnyny]

LOL. Sad, but true. "Pornography" is "free speech" and anyone who wants to curtail the porn industry wants "censorship".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I sincerely hope the NEA ***does***endorse homosexual marriage.

Perhaps this will prompt more people to yank their kids from these indoctrination camps, vote for candidates supporting tax credits and vouchers, and vote NO to any more school funding.

By the way,,,,were are the fathers? Why would any self-respecting father put up with this? ...or maybe they have all been turned into metrosexuals weenies.

[wintertime]

Parents have a responsibility to teach their children the truth so that they don't fall victim to the public skools.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The real responsibility is to NEVER allow your child to be in the government school clutches.
