This seems grievance-worthy no? In the press release from the National Education Association announcing its really, really, really late endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama for president (it was so late it more closely resembles an afterthought than an actual endorsement), union president Weaver refers to his dues-paying teachers as a “seasoned army of political member activists.” [Emphasis mine.]
Geezers of the NEA unite!!
If a school superintendent referred to teachers as “seasoned” or “ancient” or “decrepit” wouldn’t the union’s law firms be billing up the wazoo to take care of the age-discrimination complaints? (Hat tip Antonucci.)
