NEA Pushes Liberal Agenda At Convention
The NEA Political Party Teachers Union held their annual convention in DC las week, and as I am sure you will be shocked by, proposed outlandish, liberal, socialist agenda changes to their platform:
Washington (CNSNews.com) - Some of the almost 10,000 members of the National Education Association (NEA) attending the teachers union’s annual conference this week in the nation’s capital spoke out on the issues they hope their lobbyists will fight for during next year’s legislative session, including the establishment of a peace academy, in-state college tuition and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who graduate from high school.
Susie Jablinske, a first grade teacher at Central Elementary School in Edgewater, Md., said children who are in the country illegally should have the same educational rights as American children.
She proposed that the NEA add the following words to its resolution to develop programs to help minority students become college graduates, regardless of immigration status: “Access to higher education and in-state tuition, regardless of immigration status, as well as paths to legalization to undocumented high school graduates,” Jablinske proposed. {Source: CNSNews.com}
Now, to finally put to bed why the NEA is against School Choice and demand higher salaries and more teacher’s, here is the reason: More union dues for what they really care about:
Outgoing NEA President Reg Weaver, in an interview with The Hill newspaper in February, said that the NEA - with a membership of 3.2 million - plans to spend $40-$50 million to help get candidates who will help advance its agenda in the 2008 election, including the union’s endorsement and support for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
The top tier leadership of this union now, and in years past, are subscribers Socialist Agenda, as most of what they preach and believe in is listed their.
