National Education Association Ordered To Halt Rights Violations of Teachers Who Disagree With Their Policies So says the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, union officials may not force any employee to financially support a union if doing so violates the employee's sincerely held religious beliefs. The law allows union members to donate their fees to charities of their choice if supporting the unions violates their religious beliefs. So if you disagree with the NEA, your union dues are supposed to go to the charity of your choice. According to the complaint, what the NEA has been doing is forcing teachers to write a lengthy, detailed description of their religious beliefs, on an annual basis, asking "probing personal questions" about his relationship with God and his religious affiliation. They also required him to obtain a signature from a religious official attesting to the validity of his beliefs. Daniel Cronin, director of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation's legal information department, said the foundation receives about 100 reports each year from teachers who have complaints about the NEA's policies regarding religious objectors. I don't believe it!! The NEA is all about helping kids, right??? Article Here
