Holy crap... that's some "blog" they have.  A miniscule sample:

"To be crystal clear, it is out of love that we share the gospel with
any and everyone, including homosexuals... This burdens our hearts
because we know that unrepentant sodomites will not inherit the kingdom
of God, they will perish in Hell."

They might as well replace "sodomites" with blacks, Jews, etc. ... my
own mother is a local-level union rep so I will definitely inquire about
this.

Subject: Creationists at National Teacher Convention


I'm a science teacher in New Jersey and I've come across something very
disconcerting, and frankly I don't know what to do or what can be done.
It seems that Answers In Genesis has secured booth at the exposition
during the national convention of the National Education Association
this weekend in Philadelphia.  I have no idea how or why the NEA
approved their expo application, but I think we need some answers.

The AiG folks are keeping a running diary of their efforts at the
convention using the following blog address:
http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/blogs/nea-2007

How does this happen?  How is it that a creationist organization is
permitted to spread their religious fundamentalism at a teacher's
convention!  I have made some initial inquiries with my local teachers'
union which is a subsection of the NEA, but I won't be holding my breath
for any answers.  I've put a short post on my meager little blog (
http://chemjerk.blogs.com/chemjerk/2007/07/creationists-at.html) looking
for answers, but I'm hoping you can help.

Please look into this.
