Phyllis Schlafly on the NEA

The NEA - or National Education Association, as it purports to be called - is the largest teachers' union (and largest "labor" union overall) in the United States. This union recently held its annual convention in Washington, DC; and famed ERA-killer Phyllis Schlafly highlights what the convention "accomplished" this year. Her article can be found here. A word to the squeamish: what this article reveals is highly, highly disturbing. If not for its name, one would never associate this group with education of any sort. That's no accident: the NEA is about as interested in teaching children how to become critical thinkers and well-adjusted, morally upright human beings as Jack the Ripper was in rehabilitating prostitutes.

That's three posts in a row highlighting what's horribly wrong with our society. I promise to include posts on more heart-lifting topics in the near future. I'm just taking as my cue the tagline of the old Reader's Digest feature That's Outrageous: "Spotlighting absurdities in our society is the first step towards removing them." It is also an important step in conquering evil. God bless!


In Jesus and Mary,
