That is a voluntary act. Then the teacher authorizes the school system to withold his or her union dues from the paycheck....another voluntary action. These are decisions the teacher makes whether or not to be a part of the union and pay the dues. The school (government) pays nothing. It is not their money....it is the teacher's.

I applaud and commend the several school teachers who I know personally who belong both the the NEA and the family of God. They don't deserve to carry a label with evil connotations because of their membership in a teacher's union. I highly expect they represent a small portion of a significant size group of educators dedicated to the children they teach and the God they serve.

NEA Resolution I-12 said:I-12. Family Planning. The National Education Association supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom.(Abortions) The Association further urges the implementation of community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling by trained personnel.

NEA Resolution (as listed) said:Resolution B-7 calls for "acceptance" of "diversity," which is defined to include "sexual orientation." It also calls for "observances, programs, and curricula that accurately portray and recognize the roles, contributions, cultures, and history of these diverse groups and individuals."

B-9 calls for "plans, activities, and programs" that "increase respect" and "acceptance" toward "gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered people." The resolution demands an end to "stereotyping" based on "sexual orientation" and that the schools offer "diverse role models" in the hiring of education employees. B-9 also calls for extending this policy to "curricula, textbooks, resource and instructional materials, activities, etc." It demands that we "integrate" into all curricula a portrayal of the roles of "groups who have been underrepresented historically."

B-38 demands that we recognize different "family structures." This includes recognizing "domestic partners." B-40 and C-22 call for "comprehensive" education programs about HIV/AIDS "as an integral part of the school curriculum." Integrating subject matter in the curriculum means concealing it so that parents cannot exempt their children from the class.

C-27 calls on the schools to "provide counseling services and programs" for "students who are struggling with their sexual/gender orientation." E-5 demands that "educational materials and activities should accurately portray cultural diversity."

D-8 calls for hiring policies and practices that "include provisions for the recruitment of a diverse teaching staff." Nobody is fooled by this euphemism.

F-1 puts the NEA on record in support of "affirmative action plans and procedures that encourage active recruitment and employment of men in underrepresented education categories . . . in order to overcome past discrimination." This resolution includes "sexual orientation" among other factors.

I-10 states that the NEA is committed to the achievement of a "totally integrated society." This includes eliminating all "barriers" based on "sexual orientation." I-38 redundantly demands the "elimination of discrimination" based on "sexual orientation." I-42 deplores hate-motivated violence based on sexual orientation.

Jesus said:
"You will know them by their fruits"

Matthew 7:16 Matthew 12:33

Jesus in Matthew said:“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
