The NEA provides good reason(s) for private schools and home schooling.

Your post was linked to an article on how the NEA is backing gay marriage.  Interesting but nothing about home schooling.

I was an NEA ,DSEA and MSTA member for many years. Red, what's the problem?

[Catwoman]

Maybe she's trying to send out false leads to cover the fact that she's on the school board?? lol

I believe, and this is a supposition, that Red is trying to correlate the idea that since members of the NEA are favoring gay marriage that they would do so in the classroom and accordingly we should not send our children to public schools where they would be so twisted by the simple concept that the government should be attempting to trample over the rights of gay couples that would like to marry.

Catwoman- I mentioned the homeshcooling with no indication
of homeschooling being in the article.

Well Diane, it's no surpirse that you have been a member of those
groups.  What else are you a member?

[Diane Amberg]

Red, as I've retired back some I've dropped a few memberships, but am now or have been a member of AARP, National Association of EMTs, NFPA, Delaware Volunteer Fireman's Asc., Cumberland Valley Fireman's Asc., the others I mentioned before, and even NRA. I wanted to join Eastern Star but just couldn't find the time to do it justice. Why do you ask?

Sorry for the sarcasm. My hot buttons have been hit recently and I will follow Teresa's move and bite my tongue.

Shades of the 1787 constitutional compromise when the northern and southern states agreed that a slave was three fifths of a person when it came to the census and the drawing of house of representatives jurisdictional lines.

Waldo, thanks for the history lesson. My hope is people will pay more attention to your history lesson and look it up:  than pay attention to my sarcastic rant. My lesson has to do with the rudeness and name calling that hits the forum periodically. Our parents taught us about that and seems as adults we choose to ignore it sometimes. Your history lesson is less known and very\more important.
