The VEA is an affiliate of the National Education Association, the country's largest teachers union.

All civility stopped with non stop hate from STepford Obama supporters on all the

Susie's board is still good .. all though it is all Obama all the time .. as you know ..

the problem is this board doesn't have a moderator... at least not one that actually reads the board or obviously he must enjoy reading the ridiculous and incoherent garbage that gets spewed
