AAE Releases a History of the NEA: "Powerful Failure"
posted by: Colin | June 01, 2010, 01:33 PM   

Powerful Failure: How the National Education Association Fails to Use Its Influence for Education is released today by the Association of American Educators. The booklet chronicles the development, growth, and politicization of the largest educators’ union in America, the National Education Association (NEA).

Although it started out as a professional association in 1857, the NEA has become a union behemoth that does not represent its members’ beliefs, but rather attempts to reorder the priorities of the United States of America. Powerful Failure highlights a number of policies supported by the NEA that have no relation to education. Federal standards for nursing home services, preservation of native Hawaiian land ownership, and veteran’s benefits for Filipinos who fought alongside the US in WWII are only a few of the policies supported by the NEA that are unrelated to education.

This is a factually based, must-read publication for anyone interested in the National Education Association. Share with friends, colleagues and elected officials by downloading it here.
