NEA & Criticism

September 6th, 2002

They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

Joanne Jacobs files her latest FOX News column:

In response to criticism, the National Education Association has pulled its Sept. 11 lesson on tolerance off its web site, reports the New York Times.

No more will the largest teachers’ union advise that it’s wrong to blame terrorists for terrorism. But the NEA official who ran the project, Jerald Newberry, director of the Health Information Network, blames “the far right” for cowardice and bigotry. Gee, I thought blaming was wrong.

That’s the NEA formula for blame. When things get tight, blame the right.
