VEA=WTF?
Ha! As I repeatedly say, over and over and over again, "If you love your children you will teach them yourself" and forget about public education and the Unions that run it.
I'm at a loss as to why anyone would subject their children to the same worthless education they suffered through. If you don't believe you can teach your children yourself because of your ignorance then pay for tutors to do your work for you and start petitioning your legislators to cut your taxes and give you back what they would otherwise spend to continue funding the Marxist indoctrination camps known better as public schools.
JMHO
Another article, same topic:

"The union recently offered to send Susan’s dues to a local crisis pregnancy center…but still refuses to accommodate her choice of a charity."
I wonder if the "crisis pregnancy center" is along the lines of Planned Parenthood.
Maybe not this time, but the next time a teacher has to sue that union to force them to follow the same law, they should sue them using the RICO statute.
There may be grounds to do so by demonstrating that the union has systematically and repeatedly tried to evade its responsibility under the law and unlawfully divert members money.
WA State Ping...JFK
Nearly 3/4 of all money funding the NEA comes from states where teachers are forced into a union. Bravo to this woman for standing up for her rights to not have to support an organization in which she does not believe and I hope the VEA gets a serious smackdown
