A listening post monitoring public education and teachers’ unions.

I’d hate to think my blog entry on the teachers’ unions and Wikipedia somehow inspired a juvenile-minded attempt at vandalism.

Someone with an IP address in Reston, Virginia, made an edit to NEA’s Wikipedia page last Sunday (since undone) that altered the paragraph on NEA’s logo to read:

“Adopted in 1966, this symbol, which appears inside the ‘e’ in the NEA logo, combines the mathematical symbol for Pi (the ancient Greek word for education) with a monkey, both of which are set upon a background shaped as a spherical triangle, which represents the mutually supportive programs of local, state, and national education associations.”

Hilarious.

So, Reston boy, if you’re reading this, cut out that crap. And while I’m riding this horse, I think the folks in Utah need to cut out this crap. It’s stupid and counterproductive. If you want people to understand why NEA opposes vouchers, just tell them how many private school teachers belong to a union. Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
