When the MNEA's for 'em, I'm agin' 'em
"The Metro Nashville Education Association (MNEA), the local teacher’s union, continued with its wave of endorsements, tapping five hopefuls for the five-to-be-vacant at-large Metro Council seats," the Nashville City Paper reports.
If you want to know for whom NOT to vote, take the MNEA's list of endorsements into the voting booth and vote agin' all of their candidates. The MNEA's leadership - nay, the leadership of all teachers unions - have thrown themselves in front of every major educational reform during the past 25 years yelling "Stop!" Furthermore, I think the MNEA simply compiled a list of candidates with the most decidedly left-of-center views and said, "Hey, let's endorse them!"
No thanks, MNEA.
