The only success that the NEA can rightfully lay claim to is indeed political, not educational. The reason for that success is simple: Their leadership is a pack of power grabbing, sneaky, communist wannabe bastards. If I were to list the organizations that have done the most to undermine America, to fragment the common value system that made us great, the NEA would rank number 2, just behind the number one, the so called American Civil Liberties Union, whom I believe would be more appropriately called the American Communist Lawyers Union. Come to think of it, I wonder just how much those two bastard organizations are in bed together for the purpose of undermining all things right about America?
