NJEA Lost Touch With Public
Back in December I shared with you how out of touch the New Jersey Education Association is. When NJEA doesn’t like something, it protests. No problem there, but it chooses to do so on school days during school time. NJEA doesn’t understand public relations. The public blames public school teachers for all the ills of our state. Just yesterday, the WSJ lambasted us for our hourly rate. Our health benefits are front and center in the property tax debate. We are scolded for having “three months off” each summer.
Yet, NJEA disregards the animosity the public has for us and schedules rallies during the school day.
This Monday, 5 February, NJEA will hold another rally. NJEA doesn’t like some of the “property tax reform” bills the NJ legislature is considering. On Monday while your children are at school, NJEA wants its members in Trenton protesting.
NJEA has a history of protesting during the work day. Notice, today-a Saturday is empty on the NJEA calendar. Dear reader, on Monday I will be at work teaching children how to read. I cannot say where my brethern will be. For that, I am ashamed.
