As far as unions go, the NEA has done a terrible job for their membership. Look who resists any time a school board want to make salary based on performance, or a new charter school, or school choice. It's the NEA. They are not serving their membership well at all. And the students are the ones suffering the most.
And college is not the same Larry. College salaries are based on the free market. Salaries are not based on how many years you've been there. If you don't like what your making, you can go elsewhere if you are good. Hell you might even be recruited. Want to switch school districts, unless you leave the state, you're going to get the same salary at every public school. And as far as the ACLU goes, it doesn't take much to argue against a group that defends NAMBLA. The National Endowment for the Arts shouldn't use taxpayer dollars to pay for wonderful masterpieces such as "Piss Christ" -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.

Ever notice that when these groups need more money, there's always some convienient rant againt the NEA, ACLU, National Endowment for the Humanities, Public Broadcasting etc. The pathetic part is that the followers suck it up every time and get out their ckeck books. larry.
