What sort of education is this?

Fox News is reporting (click here) that the Nat'l Education Assoc. is one of the sponsors of this weekends pro-abortion rally in D.C. Once more, a union is using it's members dues to support causes that many of them find abhorrent. Even when the NEA comes out for gun control or homosexual rights, they can make a weak case as to why they are education issues. But abortion? Heck, they are supporting the killing off of future consumers of education! How many more teachers would we employ in this country with the millions of children killed by abortion? They should be one of the big proponents of the PRO-LIFE position! More kids equals more teachers.

Of course, the obvious answer is that the NEA is so in bed with the Democrats that they are no longer an organization that has anything to do with educating kids and everything to do with trying to put a respectable face on liberal causes. It is easy to be against abortion and homosexuality, but who wants to come out as being against education?
