NEA Backs Gay Marriage, After All
Remember, a few weeks ago, when NEA President Reg Weaver told reporters that the teachers' union had "no policy" on homosexual "marriage"? Remember how, heading into the NEA's annual convention, he denied reports that the union would formally endorse "gay marriage"?
He lied.
The convention not only voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution endorsing same-sex unions, but also recommended that teacher training, in the future, should ensure that new teachers support the homosexual agenda (see the news story). The delegates also voted to replace the word "tolerance" with "acceptance" in all NEA policies dealing with homosexuality issues.
So it's official: America's largest public school teachers' union whole-heartedly supports redefining marriage, and means to see to it that all new teachers coming up should feel the same.
Can Christian teachers, in good conscience, continue to belong to this union, and support its pro-sodomy activities with their dues?
Can Christian parents, in good conscience, continue to send their children to public schools largely staffed by members of this union, pledged to support the march of sodomy?
The NEA uses, and will continue to use, the public schools as an instrument of social change, Gomorrah-style. They've been advertising themselves as "change agents" for almost a century.
We have all seen millions of Christians, taking their children with them, leave churches (the PCUSA comes immediately to mind) that have decided to espouse the same ideology promulgated by the NEA. Why are they so slow to leave the public schools? It may be said that a church should be held to a higher standard than a school (unless, like us, you believe God's standards should prevail everywhere). But in the case of NEA-dominated public schools, we're not talking about a lower standard, but an abysmal standard.
What more does the NEA have to do, to persuade you to take your children out of its schools?
Do you really want to wait to find out?
