CHICAGO (AP) — The nation's largest education union has endorsed President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.
Members of the National Education Association voted
to support Obama on Monday at their annual convention in Chicago.
In a statement, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel
says Obama and the union share a vision and members wanted early and strong
support to help his election.
Biden's speech largely praised teachers and he took
jabs at Republicans, saying they don't share the same views on public
education.
But Biden drew applause when he briefly
acknowledged there's widespread unhappiness among teachers for the Obama
administration's education policies.
