Pro-Abortion N.E.A. To Face Pickets

Over 9,000 delegates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will gather in Philadelphia., Penn., from June 30 - July 5, 2007, to attend the 86th annual National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly. The Representative Assembly is the union’s highest decision-making body. Delegates will be joined by thousands more in attending the NEA’s 146th annual meeting, which will run concurrently. The slogan for this year’s annual meeting is “Fighting For Great Public Schools—yesterday. Today.
