The Education "Reformers" Are Succeeding

in gutting the unions bit by bit. Thanks to budget cutbacks and good ol' fashioned teacher harassment, NEA's membership has gone down by 100,000 members.

It's not going to get any better, unfortunately. It also doesn't help the association has sown the seeds of its own destruction by willingly going along with its enemies.

NEA officials said the union has lost more than 100,000 teachers and education support personnel since 2010, and it projects that it will lose even more in the future. By the end of its 2013-14 budget, NEA expects it will have lost 308,000 members and experienced a decline in revenue projected at some $65 million in all since 2010. (The figures are expressed in full-time equivalents, which means that the actual number of people affected is probably higher.)
