Dennis Prager talked today about the recent NEA convention and I couldn't believe my ears so I looked it up. Here is a link from a teacher which confirms what he said.

"The NEA seems to think there are many gender options, and that’s why teachers and students must always address themselves with their “preferred” pronouns. It thinks this pronoun practice is essential and will create a more inclusive society.
However, as I read the 70 new business items and 40 amendments of bylaws, legislation, and resolutions, and listened to the platform speeches, it was obvious the NEA only represents those who hold the same ideologies and radical leftist political views.
From what I observed, the NEA’s goal is for public education to be a training ground for political activism, while demonizing anyone—including students and their families—who does not share those same political and sociological beliefs.
Its priorities were apparent, because of the 110 motions discussed and voted on, only four remotely addressed student academic achievement. Those four dealt with student financial literacy and resources for English learners and language acquisition.
Nearly half of the motions dealt with identity politics, social justice, and ways to promote the goals of the Democratic Party.
Some examples: broad-brushing police as biased and corrupt; mocking the Second Amendment as a societal harm; fighting for preferential treatment for any and all groups considered “marginalized,” especially nonconforming genders and infinite sexual identities; fighting misinformation in the media (that is, any media outlets that do not agree with their views); increasing abortion rights; adding seats to the Supreme Court; and advocating for more queer representation on school boards.
Some other outlier items addressed environmental issues, hiring illegal immigrants as teachers, funding research concerning autism as it relates to gender identity, and funding global feeding programs.
Close to 40% of the motions were related to protecting teachers’ jobs and increasing their benefits and their right to be social justice cadres."
It is little wonder that society is turning out little Marxists instead of critical thinkers and it is apparent that the teacher's unions have little interest in the welfare of their students and humongous interest in their security and pay. In reading the link, I can see now what so many left-wingers on this board lie about private schools costing more (they don't) and rail against what would happen if public schools ceased to exist because they know what would happen is we would no longer be turning out indoctrinated Democrats.
Conservatives here.....you should be afraid and VERY afraid of what is happening to your children. get a second job and yank them out of school right now. America is at stake. We need to not only ruin the public schools but destroy them forever.
Poll: Americans Have Negative Views Of Absurd Pronouns And Transgender Athletes
A new poll reveals that Americans tend to reject preferred pronouns, transgender ideology and allowing transgender athletes to play on teams that align with their gender identity. According to a poll conducted by NORC and The Wall Street Journal, a majority of Americans do not want transgender...
