So the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association got together and came up with agenda items. Here are some of the 122 items:

 

AFT delegates unanimously passed a resolution declaring that, going forward, AFT-endorsed candidates must “support priorities defined by members--including universal healthcare, free tuition at public colleges and university, free childcare, and more school funding at low-income school districts.”

 

The union committed itself, among other things, to promoting the Black Lives Matter Week of Action, which is said to include “mandating that ethnic studies be taught in preK-12 schools.” The NEA outlined plans to encourage teachers to assign texts that deconstruct white privilege, and pledged to respond in “solidarity with immigrant families who are separated, incarcerated, or refused their legal right to request asylum due to the heartless, racist, and discriminatory zero-tolerance policies of the Trump administration.”

 

the NEA promised to:

“post a list of known individuals with businesses who are committed to refusing services to same-sex couples and/or LGBTQ individuals. NEA can access a list of these individuals and their businesses from organizations such as THINKPROGRESS (thinkprogress.org), Southern Poverty Law Center, and Human Rights Campaign, and share it with all state and local affiliates on nea.org.” 

 

These are the people running the unions of people who teach your children. Holy moly batman. The socialists and communists have wormed there way in and there is no getting them out now... the next generation is so scroomed....

MANY people would see these moves as a good thing.

 

What would be the opposite?
  Black lives don't matter?

  Gays and lesbians don't exist?

It is NOT the schools job to promote POLITICAL agendas!

I dunno, Joe.

 

MANY traditional school subjects (social studies, current events, health) all overlap, to some degree

with political agendas. Any intelligent teacher would cover both sides of the debate with fairness.

I didn't see both sides listed in the NEA and AFT agendas....

You know, my alma matter, SF State....   Back in the mid 1980's........    If you did not espouse leftist views you were lucky to get a C- is some classes depending on the professor......   Usually a D or an F...........      I just played the game, mostly........   A few classes I spoke up and asked "why", and got my C-....................     The snowflakes got A's and they had about 1/4 of my brains and my knowledge of history, science, and books read.....       Irish Literature, International Relations, and a few Art classes gave me a C- once they found out I was not a flaming liberal and actually loved my country, my friends in the Marine Corps, liked Ronald Reagan, and supported the boys in blue and took the Constitution seriously.    Yep, they showed me....!    Chris
