NEA raves to teachers about Alinsky 'guidebook'
World Net Daily ^ | 11-03-09 | Chelsea Schilling

The National Education Association has made a glowing assessment of radical socialist community organizer Saul Alinsky and is enthusiastically recommending American public school teachers read two of his books, including one dedicated to Satan.

On its website, the NEA dubs Alinsky "an inspiration to anyone contemplating action in their community! And to every organizer!"

It recommends Alinsky's "Reveille for Radicals," a 1946 book about the principles and tactics of "community organizing," and "Rules for Radicals," a 1971 text that articulated a socialist strategy for gaining political power to redistribute wealth from the "haves" to the "have-nots."

The NEA, the largest labor union in the United States, represents public school teachers, college and university faculty, retired education employees and college students preparing to become teachers.

The association describes Alinsky as a "master political agitator, tactical planner and social organizer" who wrote a "guidebook for those who are out to change things."

"He sets down what the goal is: a society where people are free to live, and also aren't starving in the streets. A society where there is legal and economic justice," the NEA explains to educators. "Then he sets out to say how to get there."

The NEA continues, "Alinsky's goal seems to be to encourage positive social change by equipping activists with a realistic view of the world, a kind of preemptive disillusionment. If a person already knows what evil the world is capable of, then perhaps the surprise factor can be eliminated, making the person a more effective activist. Alinsky further seems to be encouraging the budding activist not to worry to [sic] much about getting his or her hands dirty. It's all a part of the job, he seems to say."

They don’t want God in the schools, but will allow products dedicated to lucifer.

And the ACLU is MIA, standing firm in their role as the Anti-Christian League.

Since its founding in 1966, NOW’s goal has been to take action to bring about equality for all women.

All women except that c*** Sarah Palin. < /sarc >

Yesterday I read an article on FR that the aclu has taken up a case to possibly defend a gunowner’s rights. It’s still under review. Not sure what to think of that case...but something tells me they won’t involve themselves in nea endorsed literature. :-p

At least the NEA have acknowleged God by revealing their kindship with products that endorse lucifer. I mean they have clearly chosen sides...and if confronted they will deny deny deny. Which is what lucifer thrives on.. Deception, lies, and being Godless. All self-proclaimed Christians who belong to the NEA need to be aware and get out.

Anton Levay ran the Church of Satan but was an atheist.
