National Education Association

The NEA rejected a proposal that would have ceased their abortion advocacy, and went on record in support of same-sex "marriage."  As you remember we blogged last week, that a conservative group of teachers, were proposing, that the NEA remain neutral on the abortion issue. According to a press-release, NEA delegates at the July 1 thru 6th meeting, voted 69 to 31 to reject an amendment, stating that the union had no position on abortion, which would have invalidated a resolution, professing the group's support for family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom.

The NEA also went on record in support of same-sex marriage. NEA has more than 3.2 million people, who pay hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe, that the NEA is the union that can effectively represent them.

Really? I thought teachers were supposed to be neutral? Hundreds of millions of dollars in dues? I wonder how much of that went to the Obama campaign, while our schools are disintegrating and test scores are in the basement?
