Power grab : how the National Education Association is betraying our children
"In Power Grab, Greg Moo - a former high school principal - presents convincing evidence that the National Education Association's (NEA) goals are: first, to create one national system of education and second, to control this national system for its own ends."--BOOK JACKET. "Moo shows that the NEA's strategy is to corrupt and subvert local control of education in order to build its power and promote its ultraliberal social agenda - even to the detriment of students' mastery of academics."--BOOK JACKET. "Power Grab provides a usable foundation for change and offers effective strategies for parents and taxpayers to unravel NEA's ill-gotten power and to regain control of their schools."--Jacket
