TEACHER'S UNION PROPAGANDA CONTINUES, DURING PARENT CONFERENCES

So a couple of years ago, the teacher's union in our district, South Orange Maplewood Education Association, negotiated half-days for the days when they have parent-teacher conferences.

We have also chronicled their past in-school efforts to protest, which include wearing SOMEA T-shirts in school and leaving some bulletin boards blank.

Now we find that during the parent-teacher conferences, which continue this week, they are handing out SOMEA pens, with varied verbal messages to let parents know that the union is in a current stalemate.
