Two ways to help unions of teachers -- petitions to the NEA, and to Congress

Imagine if Walmart employees succeeded in their long-running efforts to unionize, and then allowed Bentonville, Arkansas Walmart executives to join. Ridiculous, right?

Well, it is just as absurd for the NEA and its state affiliates to allow teacher-abusing, overpaid administrators to continue to be members of those unions -- and yet, they do.

With very few exceptions, administrators have become the enemies of education in modern America. Also, they have their own professional organization. The NEA doesn't need them, nor do they need (nor deserve) membership in the NEA.

If you agree, please sign this petition to the NEA, and then share it with others: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-national-education-association-stop-allowing-administrators-to-join-the-nea-or-its-state-affiliates

There is also a larger, ongoing, petition to Congress, requesting federal legislation to cut the pay (and therefore the number of) public school administrators, nationwide. It is right here: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-c-a-p-education-reform-proposal-save-america-s-schools-by-cutting-administrators-pay-with-federal-legislation

Both petitions explain themselves, and I am asking you to sign and spread them only if you agree with them.

Anything that strengthens teachers' unions, under attack all over America, helps the labor union as a whole.

Thank you.
