Teachers Union To Vote On Mandatory Masking, Enemies List, Rejecting Words ‘Mother’ And ‘Father’

The National Education Association’s (NEA) annual conference is underway, and the teachers union is voting on calling for a national policy of mandatory masking, creating an enemies list, and rejecting the words “mother” and “father.”

The Chicago conference is chock-full of woke agenda items and progressive language involving issues that would seem to have little to do with the proper education of the nation’s children. The unabashedly leftist organization doesn’t even seem to recognize its own heterosexual male membership, at least according to one measure in circulation.

“NEA is a social justice union that is a majority female and trans and gender non-confirming folx,” one New Business Initiative (NBI) says, calling to “publicly stand in defense of abortion” and calling abortion limits an attack on “students, families, and communities.”

Another calls for “a national policy of mandatory masking and COVID vaccines in schools, as well as high-quality virtual education for immuno-compromised students and all families who want it.”

A third says the NEA will publicize its commitment to “young people’s right to learn about and develop their own sexual orientation and gender identity.”

A fourth promotes language that is “LGBTQIA+ inclusive,” including using “birthing parent” and “non-birthing parent” instead of mother and father.

The NEA has previously promoted Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” highlighting his passage “If you have a vast organization, parade it before the enemy, openly show your power.”

The NEA is the largest labor group in the U.S., with more than three million members, including first lady Jill Biden. Its president is Becky Pringle.

As test scores have plummeted following teachers-union-demanded school shutdowns, the NEA urges placing less emphasis on test results that measure whether students are learning. An NEA “Policy Playbook” released just before the 2020 election says that “the over-emphasis on standardized testing has caused considerable collateral damage,” and focuses instead on “racial and social justice.”

Stuff like this is why a buddy of mine moved back to Taiwan to teach with his wife (she's from there). He previously said its a HUGE difference in attitudes between students here & there.

Yeah - the state of our education system is one reason the country is going downhill today. These liberal teachers have indoctrinated our students with all kind of crazy woke bullshit - instead of teaching things that really matter.

Its sad - we need full school choice today so families can escape these idiot liberal teachers and school districts

In my town, everyone sent their kid to public school so they can be the next "football hero" or "Cheerleading Queen".

I got sent to private school. Sure, we were as bad or worse than public school kids (trouble-wise), but we were nicely dressed, which gave us a pass. Its amazing what wearing a necktie lets you get away with as a kid.
