Obama and NEA

by Relieved

Jul 5, 2011

I just saw on the news a bit ago that the NEA is endorsing Obama for 2012. Since the WVEA has the NEA as its lead affiliate, I just called my board of ed. payroll clerk and cancelled my membership.

hmmmm How???

Teddy Kennedy was the sponsor of NCLB. Teddy Kennedy endorsed Obama. Teddy Kennedy's death was a driving force behind Obamacare. Not sure how Obama will save anything. All I have left is a few spare coins - is that the change for which he campaigned? I can only hope one and done!

Don't forget George W. Bush and NCLB And George W. Bush was the one who brought in NCLB. Sold that bill of goods based on his wonderful educational plan in Texas. Great success.......Not. Oh by the way.....the special education children stayed home the week of testing. Can we say skewed statistical data??
