The California Teachers Association is planning a week’s worth of Wisconsin-style protests and rallies, from May 9-13, to “force legislature to pass tax extensions.”

That’s the short term objective of the “State of Emergency” protests, according to the website (http://castateofemergency.com/docs/State_of_Emergency_PLAN_Approved_by_Council.pdf) for the rallies (screen shot below). The longterm objective is to, “educate and convince communities to change tax structure and achieve tax fairness in order to achieve adequate, stable and ongoing funding for public education and essential public services.”
...

The “State of Emergency” website notes, “The week begins and ends with a group of educators (with others invited to join) taking over the State Capitol.”

2003: NEA to Target Republicans in 2004 (http://www.newswithviews.com/Blumenfeld/Samuel7.htm)

Back in 1984, when I wrote NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education, my goal was to awaken conservatives and Republicans to the fact that the National Education Association had become a radical, leftist political organization using the Democrat party to achieve its goals. For years, they had been using their extensive local influence to elect liberals and leftists to school boards, municipal governments, state legislatures, and the U.S. Congress. Back in 1967, five years after the NEA had become a labor union, the NEA's executive secretary, Sam Lambert, made it very clear that the NEA was determined to become a powerful political machine rather than merely an organization of teachers devoted to improving education.


NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin July 2009


"It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues."
