The NEA (Non-Education Association)

Phyllis Schlafly does an excellent job of highlighting some of the more frightening resolutions passed by National Education Association delegates at this year's annual convention, which took place ironically enough over the 4th of July weekend. 

Unlike the NEA web site, I'll openly post the link to the 2008 NEA Annual Meeting Resolutions. Oddly, without doing a search on the NEA web site, you can't find the resolutions. Hmm. Guess they don't want us educated about their resolutions.

Instead of discussing meaningful ways to better teach Johnny how to read or Suzy how to write--which should take about 10 minutes, because the method really hasn't changed in millenia--our nation's "educators" are passing resolutions like this:

• statehood for the District of Columbia (H-11)
  
• single-payer health care (H-7)
  
• gun control (I-31)
  
• ratification of the International Criminal Court Treaty (I-3)
  
• fair housing for everyone in America (I-22)
  
• non-violence against woman and girls worldwide (I-25) (guess it's OK for men & boys)
  
• opposition to home schooling (B-75)
  
• no moment of silence (I-30)
  
• complete control (read "no parental notification") of physical and mental health of children (C-23)

and my favorite, "B-35. Multicultural Education," which equivocates homosexuality with race and ethnicity--basically calling it just another "culture."

"Please, sir, I want some more."
