Kids graduate high school without learning to read, and our drop-out rate is pathetically high. So, what do you think the NEA would focus on at the top as a strategic initiative during its annual meeting? Homosexuality????? Yeah Demolibs, we don't need vouchers and our school system doesn't have a political agenda. Quit smoking crack and recognize reality! Article.... NEA 'Will Not Back Away' From Homosexuality Issue Los Angeles (CNSNews.com) - The head of the nation's biggest teachers union Thursday denied the union had backed away from a proposal to seek a greater emphasis on teaching about homosexuality in public schools. In a formal address to the delegates of the National Education Association's annual meeting, NEA President Robert Chase voiced his strong disagreement with accusations that the group has backed down from the controversial issues addressed in Resolution New B. The resolution was sent to task force committee for further study Thursday, after being tabled earlier in the week. The resolution's aim is to deal with issues of homosexuality education, such as "need based curriculum," support programs, and accurate portrayals in the classroom of homosexuals. Also included in the resolution are programs designed to "include the contributions, heritage, culture, and history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people." "I want to make it very, very clear to those who have been making statements to the press," Chase said firmly from the podium. "We will not back away from dealing with this important and significant issue. Final point. That's it." Chase's remarks were met with thunderous applause from the convention floor. "It's been a really emotional topic," stated Cathy Figel, co-chair of the Gay and Lesbian Caucus, upon leaving an early morning meeting today. "But people are feeling good." The GLC voted by a 3 to 1 margin to support the sending of the resolution to a task force that will seek to examine its strengths and weaknesses. The convention was the site of protesters earlier in the week. However, none were visible as the assembly began its second day of official business.

Since the fraud also distorts the numbers you believe in with sheep-like loyalty, those numbers are only useful for covering for the crime committed by the Democrats in 2000. You have managed to illustrate clearly why it will be so difficult to end these crimes in the future. For 2002 and 2004, we only hope that they can be limited, and the transparency of the Democrats 2000 fraud may help bring that limitation about. Difficult to end completely, but not impossible, and also likely to occur. A free people-even those addicted to the opiate of public entitlement-do not go into the cages as easily as you Democrats have come to believe...
