How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

National Education Association and National Endowment for the Arts Merge; Form New Acronym

Michelle Malkin points out the National Education Association has conducted their annual meeting (Shut Up and Teach).

According to their charter, "the National Education Association (NEA) is the nation's largest professional employee organization and is committed to advancing the cause of public education." [Emphasis mine]

But clearly indicated by their business items, they have more on their agenda than simply education:

New Business Item 47
The NEA will inform members about reasons for the boycott of Gallo wines called by the United Farm Workers, AFL-CIO. The NEA will ensure that Gallo wines are not served at any function of the Association.

and

New Business Item 78
NEA will urge its members that they "do not shop" at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club due to Wal-Mart's anti-union, low-wage, low-benefit policies that have left its employees in need of hundreds of million of dollars in public aid for various health care and social safety net programs.

Uh-huh. And what, again, do these pro-union agenda items have to do with education? Let's face it, the NEA might as well change their name to the People's Education Association (PEA). Then the intellectual elite among them can be referred to as "PEA-brains."

No mention of the nefarious "V" word.
