It's also a myth that teachers are all liberals, the NEA certainly is, but the rank and file (especially the older ones) are quite often conservative.


Most teachers are members because they want the protection the NEA provides. Most members don't give a damm about what anything but their own chapter does, except for other schools ratcheting up the average salaries so they can compare them to their own and get them up. The NEA leadership sucks in a few who listen to the party line and become their leaders of the future. Most unfortunate.

The NEA is one worthless organization.
