Is NEA threatened?

FROM THE NEA ANNUAL MEETING 2005/06
RESOLUTION B-73. Home Schooling
The National Education Association believes that home schooling
programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a
comprehensive education experience. When home schooling occurs,
students enrolled must meet all state requirements. Home schooling
should be limited to the children of the immediate family, with all
expenses being borne by the parents/guardians. Instruction should be
by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education
licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department
of education should be used.
The Association also believes that home-schooled students should not
participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools.
The Association further believes that local public school systems
should have the authority to determine grade placement and/or
credits earned toward graduation for students entering or re-
entering the public school setting from a home school setting.

Yeah, but it's nothing new. They've been making that or similar
resolutions for years. It's just a way of articulating the official
NEA stance.
