The Learning Initiative gives you a good idea about the players in New Hampshire that push national education initiatives, whether they work or not. Think about all of the fads that have come through our public schools only to be shown that they did nothing to improve academic outcomes.
NEA
Time to End the Weingarten Party
Messing with our children is a detriment to their future and the direction of this country. The Pandemic took its toll on every individual, but the way the teacher’s union used COVID as a bargaining tool took its impact on every student in America.
AFT Battles NEA For Most Dangerous Force on Education
I wrote about the NEA, National Education Association, just last week and its damaging influence on education, and worse, our children. With millions of members and their dues supporting far-left political issues and candidates, the NEA is more of a Political Action Committee than an entity concerned with your child’s education. The NEA says on … Read more
Teacher’s Union Goes To War with America
Back in 2012, we poked fun at the American Federation of Teachers. They’d sent out a pre-election survey to candidates. Twenty-Five questions, and not one of them was about children or education. Power and money. That was their agenda. And here comes the NEA a decade later.
Unions Demand Teachers “Log” Students’ Vaccination Status
A teacher in New Jersey is exposing the union for gathering vaccine data on students and their families. She reports that an app developed by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to data-mine information should be used by teachers to gather vaccine data on families.
The Teacher’s Unions Lied About CRT
Sometimes things happen, and we take them as they come without connecting the dots or following the bread crumbs. Take the Teachers Unions, for example. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) said CRT’s not real. It’s a right-wing conspiracy.
CRT – Debate Points against CRT in Schools – Stack of Stuff Part 17
It’s been a while (back on July 12) since I tried to unpack my Stack of Tabs I collect as I’m surfing around to see what piques my interest (yeah, I’m a bit overboard on this “collection schtick” – probably about 500-600 tabs easy). So, time to restart!
What Will Dems Do Now That a Teachers Union Opposes Mandatory Vaccination?
Almost any plea for requiring vaccination can be followed to some Left-Wing source so this is a problem. A New Hampshire Teachers Union representing 17,000 “educators” has come out against mandatory vaccination for staff or students.
Falsehoods of the 1619 Project
I am a political science-economics student at UNH. This past semester the students in our political science class had to do a White Paper about globalization. There were strict requirements to getting a passing grade.
I Bet 99.9% Don’t Know This Law: “No Teacher Shall Advocate Communism as a Political Doctrine..”
While NOT quite the same as “overthrow by force” isn’t what the Left, especially the NEA, the AFT, and the teachers who have signed up to teach doctrine that would overthrow our Republic be subject to this?
Teachers Unions and the Cold Civil War in America
Everyone has heard of the Cold War. We now have a Cold Civil War in the USA. The NEA has declared that Critical Race Theory must be taught in all fifty states and 14,000 school districts.
Freaking “Tail-Wagging-the-Dog”-ers! Make them learn The Apprentice’s famous phrase: “You’re Fired!”
Honest to goodness – WHO do these teachers and their union heads think they are? They act like queens but they’re just our employees. But how much of a hassle have they given Parents over the last or so?
This is The Left’s Handbook to Deal With Parent-Pushback on Critical Race Theory
A coalition of 300 groups and 20 foundations lead by the National Education Association have produced a guidebook. It provides messaging on how to address pushback against Critical Race Theory.
NH’s Largest Teachers Union Opposes Mandatory Vaccination of Students and Staff
This is unexpected. The New Hampshire Chapter of the National Education Association (NEA) opposes a proposal at the national level to require vaccinations of teachers, staff, and students.
So the Teacher Takeover of Our Kids Have Been Going for a While.
Like what sometimes happens here at GraniteGrok (as we approach 42,000 posts), when you go researching something you wrote years ago (and I did find it this time – used it here), you end up finding OTHER stuff that can be “revived” as it’s still relevant. In my case, a decade ago which was my … Read more
Joe Biden’s Promise to Defund Charter Schools
America is beginning to see a clearer picture of what Biden’s America would look like. Going to Leftist policies means less choice, and it certainly means higher taxes. We’ll pay more and get less. But we will all be the same whether we are or aren’t.
Happy Labor Day?
Today unions representing millions of workers are threatening to authorize strikes. Those strikes are not for better wages. They have nothing to do with working conditions. The strikes are not even for the union members. They are in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and social justice.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear a Democrat make the case for a charter school in his hometown?
Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is all over the news. The latest is for failing to acknowledge an innovative charter school in the city where he was Mayor, South Bend, IN. His silence is not surprising.
Part 1: Back to the Windham School District; yet another self-inflicted wound, eh? Yes, teacher Elizabeth Talon, that would be you.
“Are NFL players participating in Civil Disobedience?“
That is the question that was put to Elizabeth Talon’s class – but was the NFL really the true subject of this “lesson”?
First, let’s put a baseline into place examine the new Code of Ethics that was adopted earlier this month by the NH Board of Education in that a few snippets may well apply (found here, emphasis mine):
- The educator accepts the responsibility to practice within the educational profession according to the highest ethical standards and aspires to continuously and consistently make decisions which are, first and foremost, within the best interests of the student.
- There is also a recognition that the decisions and actions that the educator makes, whether inside or outside of the school and classroom, may be reflective of ones’ professional judgment.
Teachers Plan Rally in Concord to Discuss the Terms for Your Surrender
The NEA is planning a rally in Concord later this month. Kimberly Morin joins me to discuss their terms for surrender, a few contradictions, and some interesting side-lines about the day of the planned event. Follow this Podcast on iTunes
