Teacher's Union Wants Paige's Head

(Lansing, Michigan) While discussing the No Child Left Behind Act during the National Governors Association meeting in Washington, Education Secretary Rod Paige called the National Education Association a "terrorist organization." In response, Michigan Education Association President Lu Battaglieri said that Paige "needs to be removed."

Under fire, Secretary Paige apologized.

"It was an inappropriate choice of words to describe the obstructionist scare tactics the NEA's Washington lobbyists have employed against No Child Left Behind's historic education reforms," Paige said.

It would be nice if the NEA would apologize for the continued poor performance they promote within American public schools.
