PEN Calls for Public to Contact Secretary Paige and Show Him How Much Teachers Are Supported I am writing to express my concern over the remark you made about the National Education Association (NEA) earlier this week. Even if you didn't mean to imply the NEA is violent, it is still unacceptable to refer to any organization as a "terrorist organization," particularly in this day and age. This is called controlling the opposition by throwing them a sop. Here's the Board of Directors of the Public Education Network (PEN). You will recognize some of the Standardisto names.
