Constituents of the NEA are NOT conservatives anymore than Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are!
You can’t make this stuff up - the jokes write themseleves!
Brazen perverts.
Large segments of this country are coming more and more to look like an ongoing Monty Python skit.
That is not true. In many states teachers are required to join a union as a condition of employment.
Well....at least they’re not nudists,I guess.......
Seriously, what is most disturbing about this is that the NEA is “celebrating” a bunch of “teachers” based on what they are, and based on their sexuality, rather than celebrating a bunch of teachers who are outstanding because of their effective teaching methods. The NEA has nothing whatsoever to do with children, and teaching, and has just adopted the Dims’ identity politics agenda. The hell with the students, it’s all about the perverts in the teachers’ unions. No cred left whatsoever.
ACK ACK ACK!
If you click through to the source document, you'll find a caucus called "No Cocktail Left Behind". /sarc

"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the Monroe County Association's parent body).

As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.
Seems a wonderful argument for returning control back to local communities.
This is a joke article, right?
I went to an NEA Drag Queen Caucus concert once. No wait that was NWA with Insane Clown Posse.
Understandable mistake.
