NEA Changes Tune Due to Public Response

I wrote last week that the NEA was forcing a non-educational agenda, homosexual marriage, down its member’s throats. Public response against this effort was apparently significant, because now it looks like they’re making a change.

Earlier draft:

The Association believes that legal rights and responsibilities with regard to medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, legal immigration, domestic partnerships, and civil unions and/or marriage belong to all these diverse groups and individuals.

Revised draft:

The Association also believes that these factors should not affect the legal rights and obligations of the partners in a legally-recognized domestic partnership, civil union, or marriage in regard to matters involving the other partner, such as medical decisions, taxes, inheritance, adoption, and immigration.

The NEA continues to deny their efforts were designed to promote homosexual marriage, while their California groups have already stated as much. We’ll see just how much of this the American people will stand.
