1. Correction.... Hillary Clinton wins endorsement from the endorsment committee of the NEA

...which does not necessarily represent the voice of the rank and file.

2. DU is not representative of the membership of NEA

Because a few that might be members are upset means nothing to the entire NEA.

“I am proud to have the support of many hundreds of thousands of members of the National Education Association and trade unionists all across America. We are going to win this nomination and the general election because of support from grassroots Americans. We are on track to do just that.”

4. I wouldn't expect any endorsement to please everyone. Just because a portion of the membership

5. Silly argument

Union endorsements are NEVER unanimous from members. Leaders represent members. Twitter and Facebook whining means nothing. Anyone can pipe in and claim to a union member.

what a shock

let's see who the members overwhelmingly vote for.

10. You want 100% compliance. That is authoritarianism. A dictatorship.

I'll stick with democracy.
