NEA members will vote on several anti-Israel resolutions this week. If they pass, the NEA will pronounce that Israel is committing genocide and that opposing the Jewish state's existence is not antisemitic. Get your children - and grandchildren - out of public schools.

Major Teachers’ Union to Vote on Resolution Accusing Israel of ‘Genocide’

National Education Association members will vote on several anti-Israel resolutions at the union’s annual “Representative Assembly” in Philadelphia this week, including the adoption of an official position holding that Israel is conducting a “genocide” in Gaza and that opposing the Jewish state’s existence is not antisemitic, documents obtained by National Review show.

Two items of business would have the NEA “use existing digital communication tools to educate members about the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.”

The resolutions claim that the two are often erroneously conflated, characterizing antisemitism as “bias or action against Jewish people” in one document and “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews” in another. Union members describe anti-Zionism as “a political stance” in the first resolution and “the opposition to any Jewish state in the Middle East” which entails opposing “the existence of the modern state of Israel.”  ...

In a stated attempt to prevent NEA members “from supporting political representation that harms communities of color,” union delegates will introduce a resolution calling on the organization to “publish via electronic media the names of congresspeople who have” accepted donations or been endorsed by either the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) or the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI). ...

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If that passe they should all be fired, en masse.

If they can't understand the meaning of "genocide", they should not be teaching our children.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

Teachers Unions are anti-America.  It is and has always been a socialist union.  Back when I was teaching they forced me to join the collective. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Forever, I've hoped DJT's 1st EO was reinstalling the XL pipeline project.

I've changed my mind, in favor of dissolution of this faux union.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I don't know that the Keystone XL can be redone at today's prices. Well over a billion was invested when dementia Joe shut it down.
