Big 'ifs' 8 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
When the NEA came out against school vouchers, I considered voting for it because I didn't like their involvement. I don't agree with most of the arguments against this referendum.



However, I have considered this issue very carefully. I have finally decided to vote against it.

When the NEA came out in favor of reading, I decided not to allow my children to learn to read because everybody knows the NEA is an evil, corrupt, communist organization.

Referendum 1 is about power. Allowing the NEA to keep its monopoly is allowing it to override parental concerns and promote its own agenda. It is a good idea to be skeptical whenever the NEA is asking to keep or increase its power. What is the NEA's agenda? After reading this, you just might decide to empower parents and vote for Referendum 1:

Once again, interesting! NEA doesn't have any monopoly. They do not control the schools. They protect teachers from fads and witch hunts. Most everything the critics are most upset about have come from politicians, court rulings, parents who won't discipline their own children, the entitlement society in general, and very often from the critics themselves. But it's all NEA's fault.

I am reminded of a thought that goes something like this: "Don't be the first to jump onto a moving train to and unknown destination and don't be the last to jump off".

I say let's wait until other states try this private school funding experiment out, then learn from them what works and what doesn't. Compared to other states' more immediate need for a change, we can wait awhile and profit from an established pattern for success.
