More reason to home-school your kids. The NEA has reaffirmed it's Anti-life postion, which makes it more likely that they will be spreading their pro-death message in schools.During its national convention over the weekend, the National Education Association defeated a measure that would have had it take a neutral stance on abortion. The NEA has long supported abortion, pro-abortion candidates, and sponsored a forum with the former late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller.
On Sunday, NEA delegates defeated a proposal that pro-life teachers and educators hoped would make the group abortion neutral.
The bylaws amendment would have invalidated NEA Resolution I-16 which says the NEA "supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom," which is a code word for abortion.
The defeated proposal would have had the NEA take "no position" and would have prohibited the group from filing a Supreme Court brief supporting Roe v. Wade if the Supreme Court ever considers a case that would overturn the decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy.
It would have also prohibited the NEA from "lobbying for or against legislation regarding the dissemination of birth control information, the funding of birth control procedures, or the sale of birth control products."
Jeralee Smith, cofounder of the Conservative Educators Caucus within the NEA, told Baptist Press she was disappointed by the vote.
"Right now they say they have a neutral position on abortion," Smith said. "'No position' means that they could be sued if there was any evidence that they were spending any money or making any effort to help the Roe v. Wade decision. So 'no position' is a much stronger retreat from the current position."

Can someone please explain to me why this would even BE a topic of education in our schools?
It shouldn't be.
