		The NEA has been urging the Democratic contenders to criticize the Bush administration for requiring schools to meet tough new standards set by the federal No Child Left Behind reform law without providing enough money to meet those goals.
		The NEA analysis, based on polling by six firms and eight voter focus groups, shows that criticizing the law could be a losing political strategy.
		NEA leaders and many teachers dislike the law because it forces unpopular curriculum changes, requires increased testing and spotlights failing schools.

		The NEA headquarters on 16th Street NW near the White House will act as a hospitality center for the March for Freedom of Choice while the union's nearby state affiliates in New Jersey and elsewhere are organizing buses to bring demonstrators for the event.
		Pro-life NEA members said another major objection is that the union's top management tilts toward abortion, as shown by NEA chief lobbyist Randall J. Moody's dual role serving on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Federal Political Action Committee, for which he was an original board member and treasurer for three years.
		NEA members receive liability, health and life insurance, which is why most school personnel stay with the union despite objections to its pro-choice stance and positions on many noneducation issues, said Sissy Jochmann, a second-grade teacher in the Pittsburgh area and chairman of the Conservative Educators Caucus, which has members in 10 states.

		Another significant minority was rebuffed when it urged NEA delegates to "stick to education issues and not promote abortion." The majority remained adamant in retaining the NEA's pro-abortion position, rejecting all pleas to be consistent with other NEA resolutions calling for tolerance, diversity and respect for religious views of all peoples.
		Two years ago, the NEA received damaging national publicity when word leaked out that the convention was going to adopt an in-your-face resolution demanding that the gay-rights agenda be incorporated into everything from school curricula to teacher hiring.
		The NEA didn't oppose No Child Left Behind in Congress because it is the biggest spending education bill ever passed, but now NEA politicos see it as a useful tool to hammer at President Bush and elect a "pro-education president" who, of course, is defined as a Democrat.

	Spinsanity - The big NEA-Sept. 11 lie: How the Washington Times helped create a myth about the teachers' union and ...
		Under the headline "NEA delivers history lesson; Tells teachers not to cast 9/11 blame," reporter Ellen Sorokin claimed that the NEA "is suggesting to teachers that they be careful on the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks not to 'suggest any group is responsible' for the terrorist hijackings that killed more than 3,000 people."
		But she obscures the fact that every supposed NEA quote in her story is derived from a single lesson written by Lippincott that appears on the Kennedy University Web site, not the NEA's.
		When she writes the NEA is "suggesting to teachers" that they not "'suggest any group is responsible' for the terrorist hijackings," she implies that Lippincott is advocating that teachers not blame al-Qaida for the terrorist attacks.

		Pennsylvania 2nd grade teacher Sissy Jochmann got a hysterical reaction from NEA convention delegates when she urged the union to support the right of public school students' not to engage in homosexual behavior.

		Other justices asked whether the NEA's interpretation of the law is as broad as the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals found when it struck down the statute.
		Solicitor General Seth P. Waxman, representing the NEA, said the decency standard is only a guideline for the agency as it pays for "artistic excellence." He said the language was a compromise in Congress not intended to be overly restrictive.
		Waxman contended the NEA fulfilled the statute by broadening the membership on its advisory panels to include people with a wide range of cultural perspectives and diverse values.

	NEA v. Finley: Petitioners' Brief (Finley)
		As part of the grantmaking process, the NEA inevitably looks at "past performance evaluation and other pertinent information," (9) including an applicant's prior "body of work." (10) Thus, "an artist whose work in the past might be considered 'indecent' is...
		But as former NEA General Counsel Amy Sabrin candidly acknowledged, the latter terms are merely "coded language meaning, 'don't do anything too controversial.'" (26) The government's "public confidence" argument would justify refusing to fund controversial speech in any public program, for by definition supporting the expression of unpopular ideas will undermine public support.
		Any artist, curator, theater producer, or publisher who thinks she might apply for an NEA grant in the future will be chilled in the art that she creates today, for fear that an NEA official's judgment that it is "indecent" or "disrespectful" will count against her in the application process.

		Although a quarter of NEA members identify themselves with the Republican Party, the union has never endorsed a Republican for president and typically spends $9 out of every $10 it raises on Democrats.
		The NEA’s leanings have been clear at its annual meeting, right down to one of the ways it is raising money for its political efforts: selling tickets to a post-Kerry speech showing of “Fahrenheit 9/11,” the scathing documentary about Bush’s move toward war.

		But since the NEA established its Political Action Committee in 1972, it has supported and endorsed every Democratic presidential candidate and has overwhelmingly supported Democratic candidates at the congressional level as well.
		A review of the NEA's consistent stances on these issues provides further proof that whatever else it may claim to be, it is clearly a political arm of the left wing that endorses the liberal position on such issues as abortion, homosexual rights, capital punishment and gun control.
		The NEA is also fully supportive of what are called the "multicultural" and "diversity" agendas.

	Online NewsHour: Supreme Court Watch: NEA Decency Standards -- March 31, 1998
		DAVID COLE: What we are saying is that the way that the NEA was run for the first 25 years, which was a program that made decisions based on artistic merit, is the way the Constitution demands the government to allocate funds.
		Cole asserts, but on the basis of political correctness and on whether in some cases even liberal critics have pointed out that the NEA seems often more concerned about the political viewpoints of the artists and perhaps their religious views than it is in art.
		But when you start talking about vagueness and political consideration, they've been with the NEA since day one, and the standards of decency has been defined by the Supreme Court, which is something that artistic excellence has not been defined, and, in my opinion, it's more vague and wide open than standards of decency.

	NEA's Anti-education Partisanship Exposed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Federal Election Commission has been investigating allegations that NEA spent funds to benefit Democrat candidates directly, a clear violation of campaign finance laws that prohibit candidates and political parties from coordinating their activities with outside groups.
		While NEA's tilt to the Democratic Party has long been recognized and, I should hastily note, there is nothing wrong with that bias, the tax-exempt status enjoyed by the teachers' union comes with government rules on how union dues can be spent.
		Should it be determined that NEA was in violation of tax law, the organization's political influence will be significantly impaired and, it should be noted, union members can recover the portion of dues used for political purposes.
