Radical teachers union spends $1.7 million to promote student anti-ICE walkouts from class | Eastern NC Now

the poison in our public schools

ENCNow

The radical national teachers union National Education Association (NEA) is putting its money where its mouth is on promoting student walkouts against immigration law enforcement.  The NEA had previously been caught sending out communications urging their members to encourage student walkouts from class in opposition to ICE.  Their Florida unit actually held a press conference defending and promoting these demonstrations that disrupt the school day and the education of students.  T

The NEA clearly prioritizes extreme left politics over the actual education of students.  These protests mean students are out of class.

Now the NEA has dug itself in deeper.  It has now been caught spending $1.7 million on training and materials to promote student demonstrations against immigration law enforcement.

And to further emphasize the radicalism of too many in our education establishment, in California, a student posted a flyer with "I (heart) ICE - Real American" after one of the anti-ICE student walkouts.  That student got suspended.  The students who walked out did not.  So playing hookey for far left political purposes is condoned while freedom of speech is not.

North Carolina's teachers union, the NC Association of Educators (NCAE) is affiliated with the NEA.  We have had at least one anti-ICE student walkout in our state.

Here is how one Canadian province is handling radical teachers unions:

Carolyn Walker, who is the most actively liberal member of the school board is trying to build a liberal power clique around herself. These two ex-teachers will be part of it. Like Walker herself, at least one of them is a longtime Democrat who has switched as a matter of political convenience to Republican on paper to get elected. Walker directly recruited one of them to run and was involved in campaigning for both as well as for another challaneger.

Carolyn Walker wants to be the Queen Bee of the School Board.

Van Zant, from my observation, the splits within the Beaufort County Republican executive committee had nothing to do with the outcome of the school board primaries. The big factors were 1) the large turnout of Unaffiliated voters turning out for other races, 2) a network of teachers actively working for the ex-teacher candidates, 3) obvious networking between the two ex-teachers and the campaign of the special interest backed NC House challenger, both of whom openly operated out of his tent at early voting.

In my own race, I had support from both wings of the executive committee split, with members of both sides making financial contributions, endorsements, and doing volunteer work like addressing and stuffing envelopes. The only exceptions I am aware of were the Walkers, who had their own personal agenda in all the school board races and some other races

There was one former county party officer, who is no longer active in the party who did get rather involved in pushing Charles Hickman's opponent and ran her mouth a few days at early voting against other conservatives, but she has no position in the party presently.

Having three conservatives running for the Bath seat was a blunder that had a lot to do with losing that one.

The North Carolina Association of Educators is an organization that is as close to being a teacher's union as can be without technically being one. Their ties are very close with the National Education Association. The NEA is the largest labor union in our country. In fact, if North Carolina was a collective bargaining state there is little doubt in my mind that it would be the NEA in our state outright. Both organizations are led by very liberal Democrats.

So, how does a Beaufort County Republican primary give us two NCAE Republican primary winners. Look no further than the Carolyn Walker led school board delegation of liberal Republicans and some of their friends in the county Republican Party leadership. They are behind all this. With four Republican school board slots contested in the primary, two conservatives were replaced by two NCAE Republicans. With things like this going on, registered Democrats do not even need to run in Beaufort County elections.

The local Republican Party should take the initiative to lead and educate the public rather than outright mislead. Of course, a significant number of local Republican are openly hostile to conservatives. That's a significant negative also. The GOP has a huge leadership problem.

Didn't two members of this NCAE teachers union just get elected to our local school board? That isn't good!
