Teacher Unions and Their Support for ACORN

Not only has President Obama been in bed with the corrupt community organizing group, ACORN for years, but so have the teacher unions.

From Atlas Shrugs:

Teachers Union Loves ACORN: Gives Moocher, Looters, Thieves 1.3 Million

The whole system has been ruined, everything, by the left. It's in everything, it's everywhere. I will repeat my school slogan: parents, home school!

Teachers Union Loves ACORN

Teachers unions have contributed over $1.3 million to ACORN
By: Kevin Mooney (hat tip Jonathan Galt)

Teachers unions have contributed over $1.3 million to ACORN and its affiliates, since 2005, according to U.S. Labor Department financial disclosure forms.

But there is no guarantee that the $1,333,112 million in donations from the National Education Association (NEA) and Teachers AFL-CIO unions are actually being used for their stated purposes, according to present and former Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) officials.

Some of the larger donations include $100,000 from the NEA in 2008 and $200,000 in 2007 for political activities. The Teachers AFL-CIO Local Union 2 contributed $406,730 in 2008, $457,778 in 2007, and $346,300 in 2006 for representational activities.

Now that ACORN staffers have been caught on video helping a man and woman posing as a pimp and a prostitute acquire illegal home loans to set up a brothel it is imperative that these organizations reconsider their support, said Ron Sykes, treasurer for ACORN’s Washington D.C. branch.'"

Because teachers' unions contributions to ACORN obviously shows that all public school teachers are utterly incapable of teaching our country's students. Those kids are far better off having nitwit parents like Ms. Moore feed their brains with all sorts of distorted history.

Yess, buy al menes, homme skool yur kidz.

Diogenes is the typical liberal loonie that name calls and refuses to discuss the hear of the issue. Funding of ACORN by any group shows political and idealogical leanings. The NEA has long been a pawn of the labor movement to the detriment of our young people.
