The Springfield National Education Association has come out strongly in favor of the campaign of former Rep. Doug Harpool, D-Springfield, to unseat incumbent Norma Champion, R-Springfield.
The endorsement was trumpeted in a news release issued Thursday by the Harpool campaign. The news release criticized Ms. Champion for her stances in favor of providing tax credits to private schools:
Harpool says the ill-advised plan would siphon money from Springfield Public Schools.

Thanks for the news, telling us that Doug Harpool is dead in the water...
Getting an endorsement from any NEA chapter is a hardly a positive thing.
I would say his opponent is probably very happy with this....
Harpool may win this race, but it won't be because he has NEA endorsement.
So it is not positive to receive the endorsement of a group that includes custodians and bus drivers, not to mention the people who teach our children? I do not understand that mentality at all...then again, I do not understand why the NEA is supposed to be a bad thing.
