San Diego was a beautiful place for the NEA (National Education Association) to hold its recent conference. While there, they voted on, amongst other things, abortion and gay marriage. And, big surprise, they support both. Will someone please explain to me why the organization that supports the nation's teachers has to spend time taking a position on these two issues? Why aren't they spending that time discussing how they can better teach our children or how they can better manage their class time? Instead, they are so beholden to the LGBT & women's rights groups that they think they have to spend the time to discuss and then take a position on political issues. Why didn't they vote on what we should do in Iraq, how we should approach Iran, what to do about Israel, the ramifications of national health care, cap & trade, ..... etc? I'll tell you why - because they don't effect the core of what these people should be doing, which is teach our kids.
Here's my advice. Let's start private schools that take no government money and teach our kids in an environment that doesn't support immorality. Let's push for school vouchers. Let's do a lot more home schooling. Let's get our kids out of the hands of the useless NEA and into our hands, the hands of those who love the children and care about their future.
