June-July 2019 Newsletter

Organized Evil Warping U.S. Culture

So, you think the National Education Association (NEA) is dedicated only to education! Think again!  It’s hard to find a more liberal lobbying organization.

In its document, “REPORTS,” the National Education Association published the actions of its annual Representative Assembly in Houston, Texas July 4 – 7, 2019.  “REPORTS” has two sections – new business implementation and certain committee actions from the 2018 assembly.

NEA’s motto, “Great Public Schools for Every Student” stated on the final page, is followed by this tell-tale statement: “This document has been printed by Organized Staff Union Labor at the National Education Association.”  The following pages exemplify NEA efforts to affect culture.

Immigrant Families at the Border, the first issue in REPORTS was Resolution A of 2018 (2018-A) that affirmed NEA’s open-borders commitment.  It is quoted verbatim as follows: “The NEA will respond thoughtfully, swiftly, and forcefully in support of and in solidarity with immigrant families who are separated, incarcerated, or refused their legal right to request asylum due to the heartless, racist, and discriminatory zero-tolerance policies of the Trump administration.  We will not waiver in our commitment to these families and will take the following actions1.”

Direct Action at 2019 Representative Assembly (RA), the next item, explained that NEA’s Centers for Governance, Social Justice, and Communications partnered with Stonewall National Museum and Archives to curate and display, at specific locations, two traveling exhibits – Stonewall Uprising Exhibit and Out of the Shadows Timeline.  In addition, NEA partnered with Equality Texas, Human Rights Campaign, and Texas State Teachers Association in a direct-action event in Houston the afternoon of July 3, 2019, prior to the July 4th conference.

NEA and the Culture Skid

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, July 21, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Just 16 days ago, 7,000 NEA members gathered in Boston for their four-day annual conference over July 4th.  That’s when the NEA president declared, “We can win.  We have the power and they know it.”  The resolutions they passed explain what they plan to win and how they’ll do it.

Although law-abiding Georgians oppose sanctuary policies, and the General Assembly passed H.B. 37 outlawing sanctuary in colleges and universities, the NEA passed NBI 94 to support sanctuary in cities and schools, and promised to help create more.

Resolution NBI 18 outlines NEA’s position on illegal aliens this way: (a) The NEA opposes deportation; (b) and asks school staff NOT to cooperate with Immigration and ICE agents or other officials seeking immigration status.  (c) NEA encourages school districts to adopt refusal-to-cooperate-with-ICE-agent policies.  Also, NEA will (d) issue a press statement that school staff should not be encouraged or pressured to cooperate with ICE.

NBI 86 authorizes censorship of exhibits NEA deems “offensive.”  First, is the NEA Ex-Gay Educators exhibit indicating that homosexuality is a choice.  The other two offenders – Creation Truth Outreach and Creation Science Educators – contradict evolution.  NBI 154 directs creationism exhibits to be judged by two standing rules to determine whether they are offensive.
