One of the largest unions in the nation, the National Education Association (NEA) has been using union funds to promote a homosexual agenda.
In a two year period, the NEA gave the Gay, Lesbian [and Straight] Education Network (GLSEN) between $350,000 and $400,000. It was also reported that they gave additional union funds to another gay activist group – the Human Rights campaign.
A growing number of Christian teachers are becoming concerned that their union dues is being used to support activist groups that promote such sinful and anti-biblical lifestyles. A number of these Christian teachers have asked the NEA leadership to stop supporting these groups, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears and the practice continues on. In states that have right to work laws, a number of Christian teachers are opting out of the NEA as they feel they can no longer support the union nor do they want their dues to be used for such things.

‘FistGate’ Goes Global: GLSEN Activist Promotes Masturbation at U.N. Conference

Several bloggers — including Duane Lester at All-American Blogger and Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs — called attention to the report that a representative from the National Education Association promoted a bizarre agenda at United Nations conference:

“Oral sex, masturbation, and orgasms need to be taught in education,” Diane Schneider told the audience at a [United Nations conference] panel on combating homophobia and transphobia. Schneider, representing the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in the US, advocated for more “inclusive” sex education in US schools. . . . She claimed that the idea of sex education remains an oxymoron if it is abstinence-based, or if students are still able to opt-out.
Comprehensive sex education is “the only way to combat heterosexism and gender conformity,” Schneider proclaimed, “and we must make these issues a part of every middle and high-school student’s agenda.” . . .
A panel sponsored in part by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) advocated for “comprehensive sex education” not only as a tool to combat “gender oppression,” but also as the key to achieving all of the Millennium Development Goals.

It turns out that the NEA representative, Diane Schneider, is actually a leader in the radical group GLSEN (Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network):

Diane is a high school health educator in Spring Valley New York. She is very active with GLSEN in the Rockland County area, where she is its co-chair. She is also proud of the GSA that she advises in her high school. She is an online professor and has been active with the Health Education Leadership Team for NY State. She brings you this workshop as part of her training from the National Education Association’s (NEA’s) LGBT Trainer of Trainers.

You probably didn’t realize that America’s largest teachers’ union has an “LGBT Trainer of Trainers” program — I never imagined any such thing existed until I found Schneider’s bio on the Web site of a “PrideWorks” conference.
