Cashman, You are so right. When I went to school we learned the 3 r's. By the time I became a teacher, in the late 60's, things started to change. I resented every nickel I gave to the NEA, but if you didn't join you were ostracized. The NEA and United Way were the first groups in the building, looking for moiney, at the start of the school year. Now it has gotten to the point of complete indoctrination. Very sad.
