Education Secretary Paige calls national teachers union a 'terrorist organization'

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Education Secretary Rod Paige called the nation's largest teachers union a "terrorist organization" during a private White House meeting with governors on Monday.


Democratic and Republican governors confirmed Paige's remarks about the 2.7-million-member National Education Association.


"These were the words, 'The NEA is a terrorist organization,' " said Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle of Wisconsin.


"He was making a joke, probably not a very good one," said Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania. "Of course he immediately divorced the NEA from ordinary teachers, who he said he supports."


Why is it that the first memorable thing to come out of this guys mouth in 3 years has to be so stupid? This is why people get fired.
