NEA’s July 4th Stand Against Freedom Update-- teachers' union PASSES policy against RFRA! 
The delegates of the nation’s largest union, the National Education Association, with nearly 3 million members, voted on Friday, July 3, to take a stand against religious freedom in America. Yes, you read that correctly.The union held its annual meeting in Orlando over the Independence Day weekend, apparently choosing America’s birthday to trample on our Constitution and on the first freedom: religious rights for all American citizens. It’s just the latest in radical leftist political action by America’s major teachers group. In many states, teachers and school staff are compelled to join the union in order to hold a job, so the NEA is already well-acquainted with strong-arm tactics. A resolution was submitted to the convention of around 7,000 people. New Business Item A from the NEA Board of Directors itself states: “The NEA will develop educational materials for its state affiliates and members about the potential dangers of so-called ‘religious freedom restoration acts’ or RFRAs, which may license individuals and corporations to discriminate on the theory that their religious beliefs require such actions. The materials will describe the current legal landscape at the federal and state level, provide model state legislative amendments to modify existing laws to prevent such discriminatory applications, provide talking points for advocacy, and link to existing resources for members and state affiliates to use in efforts to prevent the use of such laws as a license to discriminate.” In the vote Friday, the resolution passed. Observers said the voice vote was about two-thirds in favor to one-third opposed. An advocate on the floor who claimed to speak for the Ohio delegation strongly supported this resolution.
