Mrs. BillyBob brought it to my attention in an e-mail. I believe it is the first time she has used profanity in anything she has ever written me. :noway: [She called it: liberal :cow: ]

Caution, you might wanna wrap your head in duct tape before reading, there is a likely chance your head will explode. :madmad:

A-31. Federally or State-Mandated Choice/Parental
Option Plans. The Association believes that federally
or state mandated parental option or choice plans
compromise free, equitable, universal, and quality
public education for every student. Therefore, the
Association opposes such federally or state-mandated
choice or parental option plans.

 

[BillyBob]

A-15. Federal Financial Support of Public Education.
The Association believes that funding for federal
programs should be substantially increased, not merely
redistributed among states. The Association opposes
any federal legislation, laws, or regulations that
provide funds, goods, or services to sectarian
schools.

B-9. Racial Diversity Within Student Populations. The Association believes that to achieve or maintain racial diversity, it may be necessary for elementary/secondary schools, colleges, and universities to take race into account in making decisions as to student admissions, assignments, and/or transfers.

D-8. Hiring Policies and Practices for Teaching Positions. The National Education Association believes that hiring policies and practices must be nondiscriminatory and include provisions for the recruitment of a diverse teaching staff.

F-1. Nondiscriminatory Personnel Policies/Affirmative Action. The National Education Association believes that personnel policies and practices must guarantee that no person be employed, retained, paid, dismissed, suspended, demoted, transferred, retired or harassed because of race, color, national origin, cultural diversity, accent, religious beliefs, residence, physical disability, political activities, professional association activity, age, size, marital status, family relationship, gender, sexual orientation or gender identification. Affirmative action plans and procedures that encourage active recruitment and employment of ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and men in under-represented education categories should be developed and implemented.


Why is it that some people think that the best way to combat racism is to treat people diffrently based on their race (a.k.a. racism)? :bang:

C'mon BillyBob. No one cares that this country is being turned into a communist state. They chant "progress, progress!!" without realizing just what they're progressing toward. They ought chant "Bread and Circus! Bread and Circus!" because that's what they want, and what they'll get. Democracy...gotta love it!!

B-9. Racial Diversity Within Student Populations. The Association believes that to achieve or maintain racial diversity, it may be necessary for elementary/secondary schools, colleges, and universities to take race into account in making decisions as to student admissions, assignments, and/or transfers.

Many schools already do... particularly those with winning athletic teams.

F-1. Nondiscriminatory Personnel Policies/Affirmative Action. The National Education Association believes that personnel policies and practices must guarantee that no person be employed, retained, paid, dismissed, suspended, demoted, transferred, retired or harassed because of race, color, national origin, cultural diversity, accent, religious beliefs, residence, physical disability, political activities, professional association activity, age, size, marital status, family relationship, gender, sexual orientation or gender identification. Affirmative action plans and procedures that encourage active recruitment and employment of ethnic minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and men in under-represented education categories should be developed and implemented.

Well that lets out all those religious-based schools that discriminate based on religion.

Why is it that some people think that the best way to combat racism is to treat people diffrently based on their race (a.k.a. racism)? :bang:

Because people desire to have a way to be "different" and "alike" so they can feel superior to those who are "different" than they are.

I don't see how changing the level of federal funding has anything to do with distributing money among the states. Since the government (i.e. non-private) schools exist in the states and are generally run by the state and/or local governments, with a few exceptions overseas, you have to distribute the money for it to get to the schools...

As for the second sentence... the NEA is merely trying to protect it's members jobs. It is a union, after all...

:shrug:

 

[dRock]

This is a load of liberal :cow:

 

[BillyBob]

It's about the extermination of sectarian schools and homeschools. They want to dump tons more money into the public school system meanwhile eliminating all the competition.

 

[dRock]

Right, creating the one thing that all American's hate....a Monopoly.

 

[dRock]

A monopoly that can charge whatever they want because they don't have any other options.....

 

[BillyBob]

This is a load of liberal :cow:

Mrs. BillyBob agrees.

 

[BillyBob]

Right, creating the one thing that all American's hate....a Monopoly.

I union run, federally funded monopoly! :shocked:

 

[dRock]

I union run, federally funded monopoly! :shocked:

so do we need to bring a winter coat to hell now?

You are exactly right, Greywolf!

You just earned the POTD. :cheers:

 

[dRock]

I think of more as reverse-discrimination. I am going to apply for the UNCF and see if they will let me get it...

Well, they are a union, right?! :chuckle:

Does anybody else see the contradiction here?

B-70. Home Schooling. The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience. When home schooling occurs, students enrolled must meet all state requirements. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used. The Association also believes that home-schooled students should not participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not surprised by this one at all.

D-21. Competency Testing of Licensed Teachers. The National Education Association believes that competency testing must not be used as a condition of employment, license retention, evaluation, placement, ranking, or promotion of licensed teachers.

Yeah. We shouldn't use competency as an excuse on whether or not to hire someone, especially not for the people we should trust to teach our children.

I-1. Peace and International Relations. The Association urges all nations to develop treaties and disarmament agreements that reduce the possibility of war. The Association also believes that such treaties and agreements should prevent the placement of weapons in outer space. The Association believes that the United Nations (UN) furthers world peace and promotes the rights of all people by preventing war, racism, and genocide. The Association supports the U.S. Institute of Peace, which provides publications, information, programs, training, and research data in developing peacemaking and conflict resolution skills.

Yeah right! :darwinsm:

I-2. International Court of Justice. The Association urges participation by the United States in deliberations before the court.

:darwinsm:

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

In other words, "Let's take parents' decisions completely out of any aspect of their child's life."
