NEA Money Laundering Engenders Outrage in Millions
Teachers' Pets
The NEA gets its funding in part from fees due from its union members. Until recently it kept a secret where that money went. Here's why:
The NEA is not an educational organization--it is a money launderer. It siphons money from hard working, low-salaried teachers, and gives it to organizations that promote the Secular Progressive Agenda.

The NEA gets its funding in part from fees due from its union members. Until recently it kept a secret where that money went. Here's why:
The NEA gave $15,000 to the Human Rights Campaign, which lobbies for "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights." The National Women's Law Center, whose Web site currently features a "pocket guide" to opposing Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito, received $5,000. And something called the Fund to Protect Social Security got $400,000, presumably to defeat personal investment accounts....Well, last year the NEA gave $45,000 to the Economic Policy Institute, which regularly issues reports that claim education is underfunded and teachers are underpaid. The partisans at People for the American Way got a $51,000 NEA contribution; PFAW happens to be vehemently anti-voucher.This is of course in addition to its 58 million dollar payroll for 600 employees.
The extent to which the NEA sends money to states for political agitation is also revealing. For example, Protect Our Public Schools, an anti-charter-school group backed by the NEA's Washington state affiliate, received $500,000 toward its efforts to block school choice for underprivileged children. (Never mind that charter schools are public schools.) And the Floridians for All Committee, which focuses on "the construction of a permanent progressive infrastructure that will help redirect Florida politics in a more progressive, Democratic direction," received a $249,000 donation from NEA headquarters.
The NEA is not an educational organization--it is a money launderer. It siphons money from hard working, low-salaried teachers, and gives it to organizations that promote the Secular Progressive Agenda.
