Solidarity For .. Forget It: Teachers Leave the NEA.
Some teachers are saying "Solidarity ... Forget it."

In North Carolina, teachers are free to withdraw from the state's chapter of the National Education Association (NEA).

In recent years, the number of teachers in the state has increased 2 percent--while the number of teachers in the NEA has decreased over 3 percent.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
