Unmasking the NEA - part 2
My emphasis below - horrifying to think that teachers are forced to join and pay dues to a union that sends millions to anti-life, anti-family groups.See alsoEducation Establishment is Not a Friend of the Family

Summertime means the annual National Education Association Convention. The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest professional organization and labor union in the U.S. and its influence on education reaches around the world. Their power and influence extends from the walls of the school room to legislative halls as they promote and finance various candidates and initiatives and work to assure their ideology is entrenched in culture. But what many people may not know, including teachers and parents, is that the NEA is not a friend of the family.
In addition to such groups as the "Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender" Caucus and the silly "No Cocktail Left Behind" Caucus, this year saw the recognition of the "NEA Drag Queen" Caucus. In fairness to the NEA, they also recognize such groups as the Ex-gay Educators, People of Faith, and Catholic and Jewish Caucuses, but the nonsensically-tolerant and politically-correct NEA has an agenda that ought to concern all people who want their schools teaching education basics and not promoting anti-family propaganda to our children.
United Families International has written about the NEA in the past but we thought we'd provide you with an update and a few examples of NEA activity.
Abortion
This year's convention in New Orleans once again saw the defeat of an abortion neutrality resolution. However, each year since 1990 this resolution has been reaffirmed:
"The NEA supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom.... The NEA will oppose any legislation which will erode the status of Roe v. Wade..."
The NEA has over 3.2 million members in the U.S. and hardly any of them know that the union that they pay annual dues to is one of the most ardent abortion supporters in the country and that their dues may be helping finance pro-abortion efforts around the world.
Homosexual Advocacy
The NEA is squarely in the back pocket of gay advocates. The Wall Street Journal reported (2006) that the NEA gave $65 million to liberal groups such as the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the Human Rights Campaign, and People for the American Way. They oppose the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and in 2009, a resolution was passed to oppose any efforts to put in place amendments banning same-sex unions or marriage . . .

For anyone wanting to research how far back the planning goes to transform our schools into what they are today, read The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Iserbyt. It is available online for free. In it, she documents, beginning in 1902, the steady planning of progressives to totally co-opt the education system to produce a more servile society. Some of the quotes, even going back to the 1920s, are shocking in how these people do not value the individual at all.
There are some great videos of Mrs. Iserbyt's talks on Youtube as well. She used to be an official in Reagan's Department of Education.

In the early 90's in Alberta, there were enough abortions, every day, to fill a classroom full of children. The campus pro-life club at the Univ. of Alberta put up posters in the education building pointing out this statistic. It pointed out to the education students how the practice was not only aborting babies, but their future jobs as well.
It amazes me that teachers would be pro-choice. More abortions mean fewer children, which means fewer jobs for teachers.
