TROY SENIK How the California Teachers Association betrayed the schools and crippled the state In 1962, as tensions ran high between school districts and unions across the country, members of the National Education Association gathered in Denver for the organization’s 100th annual convention. Among the speakers was Arthur F. Corey, executive director of the California Teachers Association (CTA). “The strike as a weapon for teachers is inappropriate, unprofessional, illegal, outmoded, and ineffective,” Corey told the crowd. “You can’t go out on an illegal strike one day and expect to go back to your classroom and teach good citizenship the next.”...

A great poem for you The computer swallowed grandpa . Yes, honestly it's true! He pressed 'control and 'enter' And disappeared from view. It devoured him completely, The thought just makes me squirm.

In desperation, I asked Jeeves My searches to refine. The reply from him was negative, Not a thing was found 'online.' So, if inside your 'Inbox,' My Grandpa you should see, Please 'Copy, Scan'...
