NEA Radicalizing Teachers & Our Children
Do Americans want unions to indoctrinate our children? If not, why have they posted Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals on the NEA website?
Conservative Teacher shows us that the National Education Association (NEA) has more to do with destroying America than teaching our children:
On the NEA website, under Tools and Ideas, along with lesson plans and articles on classroom management, there is a resource called “Association Representative Resources.” Follow that link and then click on “Articles & Multimedia.” You will see that out of all of the books in the entire world of books, the NEA recommends reading only three, one of which is Saul Alinsky’s book Rules for Radicals.
Here is the review (I saved this copy) from the largest teacher’s union in the country:
Saul Alinsky, who was a labor and civil-rights activist from the 1910’s until he died in 1972, has written here a guidebook for those who are out to change things. Alinsky was hated and defamed by powerful enemies, proof that his tactics worked. His simple formula for success… “Agitate + Aggravate + Educate + Organize”
Alinsky’s rules for victory:
Eyes “If you have a vast organization, parade it before the enemy, openly show your power.”Ears “If your organization is small, do what Gideon did: conceal the members in the dark but raise a clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more that it does.”
Nose “If your organization is too tiny even for noise, stink up the place.”
Alinsky devised and proved thirteen tactical rules for use against opponents vastly superior in power and wealth.
- “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
- “Never go outside the experience of your people.
- “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.
- “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
- “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
- “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
- “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
- “Keep the pressure on.
- “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
- “Major premise for tactics is development of operations that will maintain constant pressure upon the opposition.
- “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
- “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
- “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
“The real action is in the enemy’s reaction. The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength. Tactics, like life, require that you move with the action.” Agitate + Aggravate + Educate + Organize
Yes - Ideal lessons that explain how our children are being crippled.

Schools of education are typically filled with the least-qualified students, compared to the rest of schools on any given campus. What better way to make them feel intellectually more equal to the other students than to proselytize them in the socialist ways and send them out to be the first line of destroying this great country?
And now that they’ve been doing that for at least two generations, maybe four, their leftist viewpoint is becoming “normal” to everyday Americans, while we conservatives (who have actually moved somewhat toward what used to be the center of the political spectrum) are now the radical fringe element.
My, how times have changed.

Well, we see that every week almost dont we; the overreacting by school administrators when a kid brings an empty shotgun shell, or a Bible to school.

And the Bible is the more dangerous of the two.

Thank you, Carlos… for proving that Marxists and dolts also visit this website.

Mr. Baker, are you calling me a Marxist? Or a dolt? My first comment above was a rail against the leftist/Marxist teachings so prevalent in government schools today.
And my second, since you have a problem with short-phrase satire, was simply pointing out which of the two things USN brought out was more dangerous to the leftist system.
I do not appreciate being called either a Marxist or a dolt (I may be just a country boy, Bud, but my guess is my IQ exceeds yours by a minimum of 5%), and am probably one of the few readers of this blog that slogs through your conspiracy theories so eloquently and verbosely posted here from time to time. Cut some slack, Jack, life can have humor occasionally. Really.

I mistook your satire for sincerity… and now see the satire for what it was. My goof. I apologize.

Thank you, sir. Apology accepted. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own tunnels we fail to see the beauty around us, but most typically it is libs and leftists who do so because their worldview is so bleak to begin with.
As a Christian I begin each day praising my God for allowing me one more day on earth to see His handiwork. Sure, it’s depressing having Duh-1 as Destroyer-in-Chief of the country I love, but I rest assured if my God did not want him there not even Holder and Geithner together could do anything about it.
And as an active bearded Santa I spend each holiday season reminding kids it’s not about Santa and getting, but about the Lord no longer allowed in schools. Just one of my things.
