The NEA and the AFT have been corrupt organizations since the 1970s and have done more to corrupt school curriculum across the entire nation. They are the principle drivers behind the removal of God (YHWH) from the classroom, failing to teach true history, embracing every single evil philosophy, including, LGBTQAI+++, and dumbing down our youth. Of course, many parents stood by and allowed the NEA and AFT to introduce Satan into the minds of their children and to fail to teach them to be productive adults. Nevertheless, the time is NOW for President Trump to force an END to ALL Public Sector Unions, including, the NEA and AFT so that Parents can take back the education of their children without forfeiting their local tax dollars for no benefit!
Yes!
I read your writing with mixed thoughts. Did you glance at what I wrote or did you read it intently for content? I am in Who’s Who in Education seventeen times. I mentor teachers across the nation. I give presentations and workshops. I taught k-12 42 years, 36 years in middle school. On top of that experience, I taught 10 years at the Univ. of DE. I started teaching in 1968. My first three years, I taught in a nice suburban district. We had an association: NEA. It was not as you described. It was "wholesome." It was the onset of the AFL-CIO into the circles of inner-city education. I will not write much of what I know. I left that suburban district and went to a city district where the AFL-CIO/AFT was in full control. I saw those who thought they were educators. Ton a degree, they were. To a degree, they were not. To a degree, they were there to have a better paycheck (not compensation). There was a whole difference of attitude. This city district went on strike multiple times. Their salary schedule and benefits were far superior to the outlying districts. Desegregation hit. The outlying districts wanted our salary. For the first time in their lives, they went on strike. They hated it, but they went because they wanted our salary. When deseg finished its ugly course, all the old ways were crushed. Starting at that point, the cancer grew. The cancer began in cautious, yet earnest moves as we both said in the seventies, but it truly blossomed in the 80's. As the older teachers aged and retired, the new attitude took greater control. Now, as a school board member in a rural setting, I see the attitudes we both hate. In this rural Christian setting, these new attitudes exist slightly. I know then that the suburban districts are horrendous. The inner-city schools are purely babysitting houses. The answer? Close down USDOE. Once a glorious thought, these same democats who run inner-city school districts and their teacher unions, have taken over the USDOE and the cancer is at level 4. Federal funds from all sources must be withdrawn if some district criteria are not met. Federal funds must be withdrawn from states who do not allow for charter schools. Home schooling and cyber schooling are NOT all that they are cracked up to be. They are a great cover for child abusers. PA has one of the better oversights for home and cyber schooling and it is horrendous. As in the 60s and 870s, the Republican do NOT really care to be involved. I hear what they say: I see what they do. The democrats throw money around but sponsor evil in all its forms. Those parents that you mentioned in the 70s really loved their kids, but already did not get involved. It is far, far worse nowadays. I hear what some parents say, but the others? Crickets. The active ones soon drift away. Parents will not take back anything. The rescue will be accomplished by God and God only. Money never cured anything. It is the root of that evil. Commitment is the root of accomplishment. Commitment is a word that is also looking at its evaporation.
1950 and into sixties. Teachers were professionals and held qual rank with miisters, Lawyers, and doctors. They had their professional association: NEA In the mid-60s, inner-city school teachers wanted higher salaries and better benefits. The suburbab and rural teachers sympathized with them as we all had lo salaries and benefits with which to deal. We were the lowest compensated college class. Smart people entering college would never consider a teaching career as it would entail lower class economics and tyrannical principals. Female teachers Governments did not cause us trouble as the NEA never challenged them for better compensation. Governments and many others considered teaching as part-time employment. But the times were changing. People entered teaching as it afforded them a path away from Vietnam. Once Vietnam passed, many left teaching and took positions with significantly higher compensation and benefits. New teachers were hired, but they came from a collegiate pool of lesser intelligence. Meanwhile, the inner-city teachers made a bond with the hardline union: AFL-CIO. The teachers made their branch: AFT or AFL-AFT. This was no association. It was hardline union. The egg shell of association was cracked. The AFT held strikes in every town and city. The word "professional" was leaving the ranks of teachers. The NEA had to either become more like a union or die. The NEA changed, albeit slowly. And today we have this ugly mess.
These radical idiots are truly sick in the head
