(2002-08-19) — A new curriculum plan promoted by the National Education Association (NEA), cautions teachers against blaming the NEA for American intolerance.
“Despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans are the products of the NEA-run school system, teachers should not allow students to think that the union is to blame for American provincialism, narrow-mindedness and bigotry,” according to the soon-to-be-released lesson plan. The hastily-drafted plan follows in the wake of the NEA’s controversial curriculum warning teachers against blaming terrorists for acts of terror.
Jerald Newberry, spokesman for the union, said, “Americans see their schools as the place (sic) that will help their children make sense of these horrific events and move forward as better people.”
Newberry went on to say, “We don’t want to dwell on the fact that the NEA is largely responsible for the kind of people we are today.”
