[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
Update: The Illinois House of Representatives overrides the Governor’s veto increasing the individual State income tax rate by 32%.
https://illinoisfamily.org/politics/unsustainable-raising-taxes-solves-nothing-makes-illinois-worse-off/
“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

Five months after the 44th year of the illegal, unconstitutional Roe vs. Wade decision, approximately 413,699 babies within the womb have been murdered because of federal government sanctioned evil based upon one million murders of babies within the womb per year. And the murders continue day after day. What has Congress done to stop the unconstitutional murder of our own children?

Petition: http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacAM_petition.aspx?pid=0219&npla=EH17
Abolishing the murder of babies within the womb by Congressional law will actually be faster and more effective than waiting on the court. Right now there are five justices on the court who support the murder of babies within the womb. The four radical Leftist justices appointed by Democrat Presidents and Justice Kennedy. Therefore, to even have a chance of the court reversing, we need one more Constitutional Justice and the one appointed has to replace one of the five pro-murdering babies within the womb justices. Even then, it would take a couple of years, at least, to get the case through the court system.
Passing a law of Congress is the best way of ending the terror of our American holocaust. The best way to abolish the murder of babies within the womb. The best way to stop any State from passing a law allowing the murder of babies within the womb. And it is also best constitutionally.
Life for all persons within the United States including babies within the womb is guaranteed and protected by the Declaration of Independence, Amendment V of the United States Constitution, and Amendment XIV of the United States Constitution. No court, no government body, no individual can constitutionally sanction the murder of babies within the womb. All such decisions, laws, and regulations are patently unconstitutional and illegal and should be immediately abolished by Congress by law!
Statistically, everyday of delay over 2,700 babies are murdered in the womb through abortion using 1 million abortions a year as a baseline. It is past time to attack the evil of murdering babies within the womb on every front with every legal weapon we can use until the murder of babies within the womb is abolished completely throughout the United States and its territories. Murder of babies within the womb is a horrendous evil that needs to and must be terminated.

Isaiah 1: 1-31 (NIV)
The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem [Applicable to the United States today, in my opinion. GOD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. HE is righteous, just, and true yesterday, today, and tomorrow!] that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me [The United States has and is rebelling against GOD!]. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel [the United States] does not know, my people [the United States] do not understand.’
Woe to the sinful nation [the United States], a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord [the United States]; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel [the United States] and turned their backs on him [the United States] .
Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil.
Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. Daughter Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!], we would have been like Gomorrah [destroyed by GOD because of homosexual sin!].
[Read Genesis 18 and 19 for the Biblical account. Genesis 19: 23-29 (NIV)]
“By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he [GOD] overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities [A righteous act by a righteous GOD WHO destroyed evil people who refused to repent from their evil. And yes, I believe the account and so did JESUS the SON of GOD. HE referenced Sodom and/or Gomorrah several times. Matthew 10: 15 (NIV) “Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”]—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he [GOD] brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
This is also why homosexual radicals attack Christians who speak out against homosexual behavior. Christians who know the Bible know that homosexual behavior is sin punishable by spiritual death. There is NO “right” to homosexual behavior and people are NOT born homosexual. Homosexual behavior is learned behavior. Therefore, people do not have to be involved in the behavior and people can repent and STOP being involved in the behavior!]
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom [the United States]; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah [the United States]! ‘The multitude of your sacrifices—what are they to me?’ says the Lord. ‘I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you [the present or the future for the United States?]; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening [the present or the future for the United States?].
Your hands are full of blood [the present for the United States as we as a nation MURDER over a million babies a year through government sanctioned abortions!]!
Wash and make yourselves clean [Will we?]. Take your evil deeds out of my sight [Will we?]; stop doing wrong [Will we?]. Learn to do right [Will we?]; seek justice [Will we?]. Defend the oppressed [Will we? Who are more oppressed than murdered babies?]. Take up the cause of the fatherless [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s]; plead the case of the widow [Will we? GOD’S family structure not man’s].’
‘Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient [Stop rebelling], you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: ‘Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.’
Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. ‘You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.’”

“Teachers’ union radically promotes transgender [Transsexual] ideology, Trump-bashing
Peter LaBarbera | July 7, 2017
July 7, 2017 (LifeSiteNews)—The 3.2-million member National Education Association [NEA], the largest professionals union [Are teachers still professionals or have they been subverted by radical Leftists? Or at least their largest union has been taken over by radical Leftists?] in the U.S., once again displayed the far-left cultural agendas that have made it anathema to conservatives at its annual convention in Boston [Boston seems a natural place for Leftists to meet.] that ended Thursday [July 6, 2017].
The agenda includes proclamations by the teachers’ union to: refuse to work with President Trump on education issues [Actually a good thing. The federal government needs to abolish the Department of Education. There is NO constitutional authority for such a Department and the Left has used the Department to advance its radical agenda. Shut it down.]; call on Trump’s Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, to resign if she does not heed NEA demands [Why would any rational government heed the demands of the radical Left?]; push ‘transgender [transsexual]’ ideology on students [As the Obama Administration did.]; and advocate restrictions on private charter schools [Couldn’t happen if the Department of Education is abolished. Not nationally anyway.].
The NEA’s more than 7,000 ‘Representative Assembly [RA]’ delegates passed dozens of left-leaning resolutions, including one that threatens to ban ex-‘gays [homosexuals. According to radical homosexuals, once a homosexual always a homosexual. Of course, they lie since they also claim one is born homosexual which is genetically impossible.]’ and creation advocates as exhibitors at next year’s convention.
Targeting ex-‘gays [homosexuals]’
For several years, an ‘Ex-Gay [homosexual] Educators’ group has manned a booth at the NEA convention, becoming a tiny island of politically incorrect [truth] advocacy—including witnessing to the reality that men, women and children can leave “gay” and “transgender” lifestyles behind [Radical homosexuals can not have the truth presented because it demonstrates the fallacies of their positions.]—in a sea of pro-LGBTQ [homosexual] groupthink [Actually, a lack of thought.].
That evidently irritated NEA activists [Radical Leftists], who successfully pushed for passage of the following “New Business Item (86):
‘For the 2018 RA, NEA will thoroughly review and evaluate RA exhibitors’ materials for information that is offensive, obscene, or in bad taste [As defined by the Left who, as we all know, are the most intolerant people in the nation. Their motto is “Tolerance for me but not for thee.” Can’t have any opposing views presented.]. Based on the findings of the review the NEA will enforce its standing rules 12.B (b) and 12.B (d) as they relate to exhibitors found in violation of the aforementioned rules. Because of concerns brought by 2017 RA delegates, special scrutiny will be made to the following exhibitors [Censorship will occur for the following exhibitors:]:
NEA Ex-Gay [homosexual] Educators
Creation Truth [Because we must censor truth that is contrary to what we claim.] Outreach
Creation Science [Because science isn’t science if we don’t accept it.] Educators’
The NEA’s Standing Rules as referenced above are as follows:
‘12.B (b) ‘Groups external to the Association shall be permitted to use the exhibit area to distribute material or disseminate information related to the Association’s agenda, provided that such material is not contrary to or does not advocate a change in NEA policy [In other words, no opposition to our agenda.].
12.B (d) ‘The Association may prohibit the distribution of any material or the dissemination of any information that is disruptive or offensive [In which we disagree.]
(i.e., obscene or in bad taste [In other circles, that would be referred to as censorship. For the NEA it is called obscene or in bad taste.]).’’
Such rules are obviously open to subjective interpretation, although neither the Ex-Gay [homosexual] Educators Caucus nor creation-oriented groups were disseminating ‘obscene’ material [The truth is obscene for those who deny the truth.].
The NEA action highlights the penchant of pro-homosexual advocates to squelch dissent [They must. The truth is that homosexual behavior is a sin condemned by GOD. Therefore, the truth MUST be suppressed.]—most glaringly evidenced by legislative bans in several states outlawing pro-heterosexual therapies for minors—rather than to embrace an open and fair debate of ideas [The Left would lose any and all open and fair debates on both homosexual behavior and the murder of babies within the womb.].
[Romans 1: 18-36 (NIV)
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation [By definition a creation NEEDS a CREATOR.] of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator [There IS a CREATOR of all good things and that CREATOR IS GOD.]—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones [homosexual]. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error [Could it be any clearer that homosexual behavior is sinful behavior?].
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil [Transsexual nonsense and murdering babies within the womb.]; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love [Agape love], no mercy. [Is this not an apt description of the Left and the National Education Association?]. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
President Barack Hussein Obama declared this passage an obscure passage in the Bible and further declared that it need not be followed. He was absolutely WRONG on both counts.]
According to pro-family sources at the convention, an earlier version of the same NEA resolution that surfaced Monday read: ‘Be it moved that the NEA implement its own rules and regulations on ‘Becoming an Exhibitor’ to NEA caucuses Ex-Gay [Homosexual] Educators AND IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE EXHIBIT ENTITLED ‘NEA EX-GAY [homosexual] EDUCATORS’ from the exhibit hall on the grounds that this exhibit violates existing NEA exhibitor standards. These standards state that exhibitors may not distribute materials that are offensive, distracting, or discriminatory.’
Fascist actions?
David Pickup, a therapist who helps people overcome unwanted same-sex attractions and who is ex-‘gay [homosexual]’ himself, co-manned the Ex-Gay [Homosexual] Educators’ booth at the NEA convention. Pickup told LifeSiteNews, ‘Evidently, the NEA is trying to authorize a solution of fascist actions to get rid of people with whom they disagree [Their standard operating procedure.]. They do this by denying the right of free speech while also libeling members with false claims such as reporting that therapists use electroshock and shaming boot camps to force change upon LGBT [homosexual] persons [They lie. They have to lie. The truth would damage if not destroy the radical homosexual movement. To the Left, there is nothing more importance than advancing the agenda of the Left. This is not an assembly of educators. It is an assembly of propagandists.].’
In May, a pro-reparative therapy Task Force filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against three pro-homosexual, pro-‘transgender [transsexual]’ organizations, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the National Center for Lesbian Rights [There is no right to be involved in homosexual behavior. There is no such right for either males or females.] (NCLR), and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The complaint charges that all three are using false information, misleading statements and gross distortions to advance [They lie.] ‘nearly two dozen bills in states across the country to take away the therapy rights of parents, and their teenagers, who voluntarily seek out professional therapy to help cope with sexual and gender [sex] identity conflicts [Why would they do that? To promote their lies and suppress the truth. They know that the truth will set people free.].’
[John 8: 32 (NIV)
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”]
Pickup said that ‘since real therapy is about truth and compassion, the NEA distortions about reparative therapy and its attempt to kick us out as ex-gay [homosexual] advocates are prime examples of true bigotry and intolerance [Absolutely. No truth allowed. No dissent allowed.].’
Pro-family activist and Mission America president Linda Harvey agreed with Pickup. ‘The NEA, having backed Hillary Clinton and opposed school choice, has now come completely unglued with Donald Trump as president, and seems ready to launch a nationwide resistance movement. And this ‘educators’ group still applauds destructive homosexual and gender [sex]-defiant behavior among both teachers and students [Read Romans chapter one.],’ Harvey told LifeSiteNews.
‘It’s time for America to face facts. This is a lavishly-funded, taxpayer-subsidized sedition movement, using our schools as its base of operations and our children as indoctrinated agents of change [It does. Not in all schools. However, it should not occur in any school, in any State. The Department of Education should be abolished now. The Department feeds the monster.],’ she said.
Less overt pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] advocacy
A perusal of the NEA- approved 2017 resolutions indicates less open proclamations than in the past on at least two key issues: abortion [murder of babies within the womb] and homeschooling. No resolutions explicitly promoting abortion [murder of babies within the womb] ‘rights’ or condemning homeschooling were passed this year. In past years, pro-lifers have protested the leftist teachers’ union over its pro-abortion [murder of babies within the womb] advocacy.
‘But that doesn’t mean the NEA is becoming pro-life or is even neutral on the issue,’ warned Harvey, who cited the NEA’s longstanding support for abortion [murder of babies within the womb] ‘rights’ and opposition to overturning Roe v. Wade. [Which has always been ignorant on its part since abortion murders off their future clients/pupils. Imagine how many more teachers would be needed to “education” 60 million more children and their offspring. Children murdered in 1973 would be 44 years old today and probably would have birthed 1 to 3 children in the process of being an adult. Instead, the organization has championed the murder of those precious children. Teachers love children? Not when they champion the murder of those very same children.]
In 2015, homeschool parents were outraged at an NEA resolution that began ‘The National Education Association believes that homeschooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience [A false belief. What they actually believe is “We can not propagandize the children if they are being educated by their parents.”].’
Searches on the NEA 2017 resolution database found no entries for ‘home schooling’ and no abortion [murder of babies within the womb]-related items for ‘reproductive rights’ or ‘reproductive freedom,’ both standard euphemisms [Leftist word speak] for advocates of abortion [murder of babies within the womb] on demand.
Interestingly, the entry for the NEA in Wikipedia—a reliably liberal [Leftist] source [Which is why I use it. I can’t very well be accused by the Left of using a biased source when I quote a Leftist source.]—reports that the teachers organization was ‘originally on the conservative side of U.S. politics.’ However, by the 1970s it ‘emerged as a factor in modern liberalism [Leftism],’ according to the site.
As usual, this year conservative viewpoints were sorely lacking as the NEA delegates stepped up their pro-LGBTQ [homosexual] (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) advocacy and attacks on Donald Trump.
NEA president won’t work with Trump
The NEA’s open hostility to the Trump presidency was voiced forcefully by its president, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, who slammed the White House as ‘cruel’ and honed in on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for alleged refusing to protect ‘transgender [transsexual. The Left’s concept of “protecting” transsexual students is to capitulate to their delusions and to require the schools to let males use female facilities. Which strangely enough DOES NOT protect female students.]’ students. It was an odd accusation to make considering that DeVos recently appointed an open lesbian [homosexual] and LGBT [homosexual] advocate, Candace Jackson, to the department’s Office of Civil Rights [Which was a horrid appointment and which demonstrates that the Trump Administration is going to be part of the problem in stopping this nonsense rather than part of the solution. The Department of Education needs to be abolished now.].
As LifeSiteNews reported, Jackson promptly offered legal guidance to schools pledging to combat discrimination based on gender [sex] identity,’ largely echoing liberal policy positions, albeit with less zealousness than the Obama administration [Part of the problem rather than part of the solution.].
In her NEA convention speech, Eskelsen Garcia said she turned down a request from DeVos for a meeting until the latter answered her questions—which were, she claimed, similar to those that DeVos refused to provide at her confirmation hearing.
Eskelsen Garcia said she sent a ‘true or false’ letter to DeVos with several pointed questions, including, ‘Will you protect [Define protect.] all our blessed students from discrimination [Define discrimination. The Left’s perverted definition or the true definition. To the Left, identifying homosexual behavior as sin is ipso facto discrimination.] … (including) our LGBT [homosexual] students—yes or no?’ DeVos did not answer the letter.
‘But in a profoundly disturbing way, we’ve already received those answers, haven’t we?’ the NEA chief told the NEA delegates. Eskelsen Garcia has a son [Biological son?] who identifies as ‘gay [homosexual]’ and is homosexually “married.” [And she is the head of a three million plus “professional” organization. Reread Romans chapter one.]
‘One of the first acts of the Trump-DeVos administration was to rescind that letter from the Office of Civil Rights—that letter that the Obama administration sent to school districts everywhere, clearly stating that they would be held legally responsible for protecting our [our?] transgendered [transsexual] students from discrimination [Not what it said at all. The invalid definition of discrimination used by the Left continually.],’ she said. ‘This administration gave a green light to the despicable, intentional, institutional humiliation [They humiliate themselves by their delusional demand that being male they be treated as if they are female. She wants schools to placate a delusion that is false factually, scientifically, and biologically. And this from an institution that is suppose to teach students the truth.] of a vulnerable population of students [Why are they vulnerable? Because of their own choosing. They have a responsibility to be responsible. Decisions have consequences. The Left wants no consequences for terrible choices. The real world is NOT like that. In the real world all choices have consequences.]. So her [DeVos’] answer is no. No, she will not protect all our students [Can not protect students from themselves.].
Eskelsen Garcia said she occasionally hears from NEA delegates and friends who tell her that ‘the election is over and we must find ways to cooperate with this administration.’
But then she said, with her voice rising in a passionate appeal: ‘So let me tell you as clearly as I possibly can, so even if you disagree with me, you will understand what’s in my heart [SIN.]: I will not allow the National Education Association to be used by Donald Trump or by Betsy DeVos. I do not trust their motives. I do not believe their alternative [Alternative?] facts.’
[Mathew 15: 17-20 (NIV)
[Jesus asked them.] ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder [abortion], adultery, sexual immorality [homosexual behavior], theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”]
‘I see no reason to assume they will do in our children’s best interests or their families’ [Based upon whose definition of best interests?]. There will be no photo op [How tragic for Donald Trump. Who did the NEA support in the 2016 election? Leftist Hillary Rodham Clinton, of course, and every other Leftist running for a federal office.],’ Eskelsen Garcia shouted, as the NEA delegates applauded in a standing ovation.
‘We will find common ground with many Republicans and many Democrats on many issues [Only if they are Leftist issues.],’ she said. ‘We will not find common ground with an administration that is cruel and callous to our children and their families [The Leftists are the ones who are cruel and callous. First, by catering to the delusions of transsexuals which does them harm and second by trying to force males into female facilities WITHOUT any regard for the females.]. And I don't just judge them by their words; I judge them by their actions [I thought the Left was big on not being judgmental? Oh, that is right. We are not to judge them. They can judge us all the time declaring we are all racist, sexist, homophobic, bigots. However, that is alright because they are the ones judging and are not the ones being judged.].’
But pro-family advocate Diane Gramley says Trump is not the problem, telling LifeSiteNews that the NEA’s ongoing leftist ideology—as represented by its many ‘progressive’ resolutions—helps explain America’s public education crisis.
‘I read through the first 100 or so and determined the NEA should not be allowed near children,’ said Gramley, president of American Family Association of Pennsylvania. ‘And Americans are wondering why there are so many liberal snowflakes out there! They need to take a look at the NEA and our public education system to get the answer [Ouch.].’
NEA liberalism [Leftism] on display
The following left-leaning NEA official resolutions are among those passed by NEA delegates at the 2017 convention (bolded sub-headlines added by LifeSiteNews):
Thoroughly pro-LGBTQ [Homosexual]. As any Leftist organization is. It is a requirement to be in the club. Just as supporting and promoting the murder of babies within the womb is a requirement.]
‘The NEA will continue to advance the rights [There is no right to homosexual behavior. It is a made-up fantasy of Leftist judges and the radical Left. Ask GOD if it is a right. Rights come from GOD not from man.] of lesbian [homosexual], gay [homosexual], bisexual [How can one be two sexes? Not possible.], transgender [transsexual. Can’t be transsexual either. People do not get to choose what sex they are. A male is a male is a male. A female is a female is a female. Do you understand why the Left can not have the truth spoken? It explodes all their lies.], or questioning [Questioning what exactly?] (LGBTQ) students and educators by taking the following actions to counter the continuing backlash [?] against LGBTQ [homosexual] individuals [sinners]:
[I’m not going to take the time to comments on each one of these. They are all based upon lies, propaganda, and the terribly false notion that homosexual behavior is normal and a right. It is neither. Homosexual behavior is a sin as declared by GOD the CREATOR. Only GOD determines right and wrong.]
1) Call upon our members and society to promote a culture of safety, support, and affirmation that ensures civil rights and advocacy for LGBTQ members and students, including adopting policies that respect the civil rights of all educators and students, inclusive of transgender students and educators.
2) Provide tools for affiliates and members to use at the state and local level to gain or secure protections for LGBTQ individuals at work and in schools.
3) Convene periodic webinars for state and local affiliates and members (in the fall, winter, and spring) to provide updates as to the current status of state and local protections as well as models for actions that can be taken at the state and local level to increase protections.
4) Provide legislative support and resources to state affiliates and tools for local affiliates to use in advocating for increased LGBTQ protections.
5) Continue to actively participate in the legal efforts to secure full civil rights for LGBTQ individuals by filing amicus curiae briefs in support of challenges to anti-LGBTQ legislative and policy initiatives and in support of ensuring full civil rights protections for LGBTQ individuals.
6) Evaluate eliminating states and cities as acceptable locations for future NEA meetings if the state or city adopts a law or ordinance that licenses discrimination against students and educators based on their sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.’ (Item 3)
Urge non-cooperation [Violation of federal law. Educators urging that federal law be violated.] with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] on illegal immigration [aliens. It is NOT immigration when coming into the country illegally. Typical misuse of a word by the Left.]
‘The NEA will oppose deportations and state that public school staff should decline cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials or any official seeking immigration information [Urging their members to violate federal law.] ... (Item 18)
Track ‘homophobia,’ ‘transphobia’ and ‘Islamophobia’
‘In partnership with the Southern Poverty Law Center, NAACP, ACLU, GLSEN, National Center for Trans-Equality Human Rights Campaign, [All radical Left organizations.] and any other legal and human rights groups [None of those listed are human rights organizations. There is a human right to life. There is no human right to commit sexual sin or to murder your own child.] of related concerns, NEA will track incidents of discrimination, racism, homophobia, and transphobia, as well as anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all other forms of religious discrimination, and bigotry in our public schools [Notice all the name calling. Anyone who disagrees with the Left is all of the above. Name calling is a propaganda tool. Don’t need facts or the truth to name call.]. The data will be shared with districts to educate and eradicate hate [Anyone who disagrees with the Left automatically hates.] through the development of programs that include, but are not limited to, training on unconscious bias [Seriously? More Leftist word speak.], culturally responsive instruction, and the anti-defamation league.’ (Item 30)
Gender [Sex] confusion [Delusion] ‘inclusion [What is meant by inclusion? Give in to their delusion? Not a chance. That does harm; not good.]’
‘NEA shall, using existing digital media, encourage state and local affiliates to foster school environments that affirm [Affirm a delusion? This is now considered EDUCATION.? Denying facts, science, and biology is now EDUCATION?] the gender [sex] diversity [Newsflash for the NEA. There are only TWO sexes. And the sex you are CAN NOT BE CHANGED. You claim to be educators? Demonstrate you have some knowledge of science and biology. You are a puppet organization of the radical Left.] of students by using valid and existing resources such as Gender [Sex] Spectrum’s [There is NO Spectrum. Male. Female. That is it.] guide called the “Gender Inclusive Schools Toolkit.” [Created by whom? Radical homosexual Leftists? Do you really expect people to respect your organization when you have become a radical Leftist puppet organization? Another Newsflash: Most of the voters in this country are not radical Leftists and we are going to take our nation back.] (Item 55)
‘Racist’ standardized testing?
‘Publish an article in NEA Today on the racist origins of standardized testing [Seriously? Are you also going to point out that racism has a long history within the Democrat Party? Or, who initiated standardized testing?] …’ (Item 78)
Oppose Trump’s travel ban
‘The NEA will publicize our opposition to the travel ban imposed by the current presidential administration [Wow?], and will join with other organizations in actions to defeat it.’ (Item 62)
Condemn Trump on ‘climate change [Man-made global warming. Climate is always changing over time. That is what climate is: Weather over time and since weather changes over time, climate has to change over time. This is basic climatology 101.]’
‘The NEA will publicize through existing publications the Trump administration’s efforts to conceal, subvert, or change scientific information [All things DONE BY the Left. Man-made global warming is a Leftist hoax.] and data from public websites including information used by educators to teach about climate change and climate justice [Climate Justice? Seriously?].’ (Item 68)
Anti-vouchers
‘The NEA shall provide direct organizing support to locals and state affiliates who form or expand Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools (AROS), community tables, and coalitions to defeat any voucher plan [Against competition.]…’ (Item 79)
Combat ‘alt-right’
‘NEA will develop an online toolkit to assist communities and educators in combating the insidious hate speech and actions of white supremacists, nationalists, and the so-called ‘Alt-Right.’ The toolkit will identify the groups behind the propaganda and provide counter-messaging and techniques to help protect our students, our educators, and our communities.’ (Item 46)
Anti-charter schools
‘NEA will develop and promote resolutions that local associations can introduce at school board meetings calling for countywide and statewide moratoria on new charter school authorizations in every state that has legislation authorizing the creation of charter schools [Against competition.].’ (Item 47)
More LGBTQ [homosexual] activism
‘NEA shall, using existing digital media, support LGBTQ and youth by encouraging state and local affiliates to use valid and existing resources such as the booklet from GLSEN called ‘Just the Facts About Sexual Orientation and Youth: A Primer for Principals, Educators, and School Personnel [Seriously? A pro-homosexual behavior group is going to give the facts about homosexual behavior? Seriously?]’ (Item 49)
Lobby for single-payer nationalized healthcare
‘NEA will provide a platform to state and local affiliates to create a grassroots movement to demand the U.S. Congress develop a universal health care system for all [Unconstitutional and economically not feasible. It destroys competition which is what keeps costs down and provides the BEST healthcare.]. This can be done by tweeting [Tweet, tweet.], calling, and messaging their representatives over the coming year. NEA will utilize existing resources and draw upon its membership with organizations such as Labor Campaign 4 Single-Payer [Leftist organization] (LC4SP).’ (Item 42)
Sanctuary cities, sanctuary schools
‘The NEA supports sanctuary cities and schools and opposes any attacks and attempts to penalize and prohibit such sanctuaries. The NEA will publicize a program of support to help schools institute sanctuary programs for undocumented students [illegal aliens] and their families. Wherever possible, NEA members and local associations will take an active role in helping to create and defend sanctuary efforts [Violating federal law.].’ (Item 94)
Against pro-voucher PBS documentary
‘I move that the NEA adopt an official position of objection to the ‘documentary’ called School, Inc., a three-hour program which aired in installments on PBS in June of 2017 and was funded by a foundation known to support vouchers and allied with Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity and the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation [Against competition.] …’ (Item 113)
Replace ‘teacher’ with ‘educator [More accurately, Indoctrinator.]’
‘In order to more accurately represent our diverse membership, we request a review of NEA’s Constitution, Bylaws, Standing Rules, Policy Statements, and Resolutions to search for the words ‘teacher’ and ‘classroom teacher’ in order to replace those words with the more inclusive [How so?] term of ‘educator,’ where appropriate …’ (Item 115)
More climate change advocacy
‘NEA shall, using existing research, resources such as National Center for Science Education (NCSE), and digital resources within NEA Today, create and distribute digitally an article delineating climate change as an evidence-based scientifically proven occurrence that is detrimental to our planet [Man-made global warming is a fraud and so is the NEA for supporting this fraud. There is nothing scientific about it. It is part of the Leftist agenda to establish control over all aspects of our lives. The NEA is a propaganda arm of the Left.] … ’ (Item 123)”
