NEA: We're happy with court's ruling on Facebook Law, but we don't want the courts involved

Continuing with their we'd rather make deals with Jane Cunningham than rely on the courts stance, Missouri NEA issued the following statement after today's announcement that a preliminary injunction had been granted against Mrs. Cunningham's Facebook Bill:

We are pleased that Governor Nixon and the court agree with our members that this portion of the new law needs to be fixed. Missouri NEA will continue to work with legislators and the other education organizations to find a long-term solution that goes well beyond the 180 day time frame outlined in this morning's court decision. The problematic language in SB54 needs to be addressed by the General Assembly -- and not by the courts -- because that allows educators, school districts and the students we serve to be a part of the solution.

The injunction, it should be noted, came as a result of legal action filed by Missouri's other teacher organization, MSTA.
