More about the NEA thing
My union rep told me this afternoon that as far as she's been able to gather from her union sources, the co-sponsorship of the march amounts to having the NEA's building in DC, which faces on the march route, open for "people to use the bathroom" -- sort of a way-station for the weary marchers (and counterdemonstrators, presumably).
All right, assume that's the case, and the NEA hasn't actually pumped money into the march. I still have questions:
1. Would that building normally be open on a Sunday?
1a. If not, how much does it cost to open it to the demonstrators?
1b. If so, why is the march listing the NEA as a co-sponsor, if it's only facilities?
2. Would it be open, under similar circumstances, to pro-life marchers? NRLC? Operation Rescue? Will it be open to counterdemonstrators?
3. Does the NEA think it's fooling anybody with its "life is a choice, too, therefore pro-choice = pro-life" sophistry?
I've asked the rep for links to her sources. More information as I get it.
