NEA Money Goes to Keeping Taxes High
As the country's largest teachers' union, the National Education Association rakes in mounds of cash. But as the current state of our public schools attests, the money is not spent to improve education. Rather, it is blown on moonbattery.
Technically, the NEA is not a political action committee, and therefore it evades the federal campaign-finance laws so beloved by John McMaverick and his erstwhile supporters in the liberal press. But if it's not a PAC, you wouldn't know it by the way it spends its fortunes:
[D]uring the current fiscal year the NEA sent the Hawaii State Teachers Association $20,000 to conduct polling on a state constitutional convention. It sent the Massachusetts Teachers Association $60,000 to oppose a state income-tax repeal. And it sent the Florida Education Association $200,000 to oppose property-tax cuts in the Sunshine State.
In addition to high taxes and racial apartheid in Hawaii, the NEA — America's answer to the Taliban — promotes statehood for the District of Columbia, socialized medicine, gun rights suppression, the International Criminal Court, the homosexual agenda, the feminazi agenda, and the global warming hoax. Lest we forget that it's supposed to have something to do with education, it also promotes sex training and condom distribution in schools.
What unions have done to the automotive industry, the NEA has done to our public schools — but with so much mandatory dues loot overflowing from its coffers, why should it stop there?
