How’s That NEA Working Out?I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the NEA is the biggest single obstacle to quality education in the United States. By relentlessly opposing any measures that would guarantee accountability and quality instruction (vouchers, school choice, teacher testing, etc.), the teacher’s union does immense harm to the future of our nation. We’ve seen the lowered standards at work in the whining from some quarters about algebra as a requirement for a high school diploma – now we see it in the absolutely shameful fact that only 1 in 4 Americans knows what the First Amendment is. Now, don’t get me wrong – it SHOULD be required that all Americans know all the members of the Simpsons, not just two (and the right to own a pet is the most sacred of American rights – it’s about time we made that explicit with a new constitutional amendment!)…but couldn’t we learn at least the basics about our government to begin with? It’s going to be hard for Bush opponents to light a fire over the NSA controversy on 4th Amendment grounds – that’s WAY too obscure for America today… March 1st, 2006 | Category: Domestic Affairs |
