The National Education Association and the Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Education Network -- Joined at the Hip.
Think about this before your next vote for school board members
Meet Ricio Inclan -- Senior Director, National Education Association (NEA).
AND
Chairman of the Board of Directors, GLSEN the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network:
"As GLSEN was founded by a group of teachers in 1990, we knew that educators play key roles in creating affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth. But as well as activating supportive educators, we believe in centering and uplifting student-led movements, which have powered initiatives like the Day of Silence, Ally Week, and more.
We conduct extensive and original research to inform our evidence-based solutions FOR K-12 EDUCATION. (emphasis added)
We author developmentally appropriate resources for educators to use throughout their school community.
We advise on, advocate for, and research comprehensive policies designed to protect LGBTQ students as well as students of marginalized identities. We’ve brought record support to the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act and fought discriminatory legislation in over 15 states."
IF you think for one second that the NEA is only concerned with the professional treatment of your district’s teachers you are sadly mistaken. The NEA through Ricio Inclan is the camel’s nose under the tent.
To be clear it is highly unlikely that the Chairman of the Board of GLSEN is a voluntary position and there is most certainly a financial relationship between Inclan the NEA and GLSEN.
