  • What in the heck does homosexual marriage have to do with education issues? I am seriously thinking of terminating my membership in the NJEA.

  • We're a closed shop, so I have to pay dues whether I believe or not. I'm Republican, and am appalled at some of the political stances the union takes which have NOTHING to do with education of children. The union is going beyond their scope now, and I don't like how they're spending MY hard-earned money.

  • The President of the NEA makes almost DOUBLE what the President of the United States makes. Is there really anything else to discuss?

  • Thank you Bob Chanin for fighting for teachers and schools. Remember: our working environment is your children's learning environment.

  • Funny how the Democrats love the Union Vote, but want to be selective. Unions are nothing but Socialized work force that promote mediocrity.

    .

  • any organisation that engages in fraud should not recieve monetary assistance from hard working american taxpayers.That goes for the NEA and Acorn.

  • That's right. The union supports teachers. Not schools. Not children. Teachers.

    As he said, teaching children is less important than the right for teachers to engage in collective bargaining.

  • Thankfully our state doesn't force NEA membership. I was sucked into it for 6 years and I finally stood up for myself and didn't join, and after watching this I couldn't be any happier to not be a part of this joke!

  • this helped confirm why I dropped my membership in NEA. They are almost as liberal as ACLU. They care more for teachers than students. They have lost their vision as to why they exist. Hopefully they will disappear.

  • I fell srry for all you teachers out there b/c the union andinvestment companies like ing are ripping off your retirement funds.

  • Hey they might be liberal but they want to look good too.

  • You mean education quallity has gone DOWN.
