QUESTION: Who Is Responsible for the Hard Left Government?
MY ANSWER: The NEA — Yep, the National Education Association.
It’s a national labor union for teachers. In most locales, teachers are required to join.
Why do I say this union is responsible for the Hard Left turn of the United States Government? Because of the way they’ve taught people to think for the last 20-30 years.
1) During the last 20–30 years, the entire educational system has become ruled by progressive left-leaning union officials who pressure local districts and have the financial wherewithal to lobby and influence state and national legislators.
2) History textbooks, which must be approved by the NEA Union, are not approved unless they tend toward a leftist, un-American or “blame America first” point of view. (This is not an officially stated policy, but it is a known ‘requirement’ in the publishing world, where it is known that a balanced right vs. left treatment will not be “recommended for use” in public school curriculums.) Here’s just one example: What is the most-used photograph of 1950’s history in the South? The approved textbooks used photos of racist KuKluxKlansmen with a burning cross more than any other.
3) The teaching of the Religious roots of the United States is not allowed in public schools. “Morality” is divorced from religion, in the removal of great moral laws (such as The Ten Commandments) from schools and rules against the teaching of them.
4) The “diversity” movement of teaching that the morals claimed by any religion are the same in value as those of the country’s Founding Fathers, with no attention to the benevolent works of Protestant and Catholic religions — a feature that is not shared by other religions such as Buddhism, Islam, or other eastern religions (which are not banned, as are Christian religions).
Search the NEA website (http://www.NEA.org) for the term “United States History.” It’s a quick education in what the NEA considers important.
Yes, I lay the responsibility for the election of Barrack Hussein Obama to the Presidency at the feet of the NEA. A portion of the electorate would say, “YES, that’s a GOOD thing,” it is my contention that they are the very proof of what I am saying. They have done a BAD thing. They are the product of the public school system. They cared little enough about the Presidency that they voted for a man based on the color of his skin and his glittering speeches. Despite his history of associating with anti-American terrorists, his following of a racist preacher, and his lack of experience in national political office.
Our educational system has produced an uneducated, uncaring, America-hating majority. What an incredible shame.
From NEA’s own “Who We Are” statement:
“Today, NEA is the largest employee organization in the country. …With affiliates in every state and more than 3.2 million members, it continues its long, proud tradition of advocacy and outreach through its members and affiliates, minority caucuses, national programs, training and technical assistance, legislative initiatives, and establishing coalitions and partnerships with various entities including businesses, higher education, minority communities, progressive groups, and others.”
By the way, “Progressive Groups” is an unveiled reference to the kind of hard-left extremist groups that are threatening to ruin our country.
