The NEA convention passed many pro-homosexual, pro-feminist, pro-abortion, and anti-parent resolutions.The NEA’s leftwing bias is also obvious in its resolutions calling for public school curricula to include multiculturalism, globalism, environmentalism, diversity, AIDS, sexual orientation, self-esteem, racism, school-to-work, immigration, gun control, suicide, peace, and the United Nations. And the NEA is also seeking funding for programs for children “from birth through age eight.”
