The rabid rant recently regurgitated by the NEA’s president is a stark reminder of the academic malpractice and cultural brainwashing students have suffered in our failing government schools since the late 1960s. Its members long ago abandoned the traditional role of purveyors of knowledge and wisdom which had made teachers worth their weight in gold to parents everywhere. This new breed of educators proved to be sorry substitutes for such precious human resources. They foolishly permitted leftist ideologues to infest the teaching profession and fundamentally transform them from guardians of Western values into destructive agents of Marxist indoctrination. Their captive victims’ atrophied critical thinking skills rendered them particularly vulnerable to the left’s perennial utopian promises. Healing this pathology will not be easy. It can be achieved, however, by nuking (metaphorically speaking) its spawning grounds in colleges of education nationwide and replacing them with apprenticeship programs using the few “gold standard” teachers remaining in our dysfunctional education system as mentors to the next generation’s aspiring pedagogues. God willing, if we the people of the United States succeed in this worthy endeavor, our descendants will thank us for preserving the blessings of liberty which preceding generations inherited from their freedom-loving ancestors (ref. www.newguardsforliberty.com).

In reply to Charley.

This comment is 100% accurate. If memory serves it was JFK whose administration proposed, supported and passed legislation allowing government employees to unionize. For the reason(s) you cite there needs to be two parties to a negotiation. In the case of government unions there is no counter party with which to negotiate.

I’m not sure but I don’t think there is a law mandating school districts have to hire union teachers. It seems to me it’s a local issue and, unfortunately, the school districts have little choice.

I might add, in light of this maniacal tirade, it’s time for local school boards to recognize the enemy within and take back control of the curriculum and environment to which they are subjecting their children. Unfortunately, the number of parents and school board members who witnessed this meltdown is probably less than the number concerned with who is taking over the schools.

You answered your own question. It’s about the COLLECTIVE and its agenda. I was a union member for a couple years (DC subway, hi-rises, bridges) and while the workers did the job at hand the prevailing attitude I encountered was ” F the man for all you can get”. By contrast the NEA is in a better position to fundamentally change the direction of education in an attempt to “own it” whereas construction workers can not change the structural components of any given project to gain more power.

We need a serious push for my answer to Citizens United: any organization which is not explicitly formed for the purpose of lobbying and influencing elections on behalf of defined political goals and moreover has no other function must have any expenditures on lobbying, political advertising, contributions to political parties or candidates or to organizations covered by the exclusion just stated approved in detail (amounts and specific purposes) by a majority vote of the equitable ownership if it is a joint-stock corporation, or by a majority of the membership otherwise (including labor unions).

It is obnoxious for union bosses to spend the rank-and-file’s dues on their own political priorities if they are not shared by the rank-and-file. It is obnoxious for top managers and boards of directors to spend the shareholders’ money on their own political priorities if they are not shared by the shareholders for whom, in theory, they work.

In reply to JS.

And it collects millions from teachers and administrators which are then funneled right back to the Democrats which is why it is politically oriented.

Well, I am impressed by how he ended. That has meaning for a society. And may be what we lack today. I am noting more themes about that sort of thing on social media. So, it’s on many people’s mind. Sometimes you have to display gross disrespect to stop tyranny.

That loudmouth shrew receives about $450K yearly in salary and benefits. Check out the NEA website for ALL the overpaid, and unnecessary department “officers”. Puke !
