Why are they calling themselves NAS? No reason suggests itself except deception. Name another?
- toomim 7y agoBecause they are part of the National Association of Scholars. It was founded in 1987.
- fsh 7y agoThe "real" NAS (National Academy of Sciences) was founded in 1863. Their choice of name is certainly suspicious.
- toomim 7y agoIt's not right to say that only one is real. That's biased thinking, and shows that you're trying to push politics rather than find the truth. Furthermore, the organization you're talking about isn't even NAS -- it's NASEM: the "National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine".

Furthermore, there are a bunch of other groups with the acronym NAS: Nationaal Arbeids-Secretariaat", a trade union federation in the Netherlands from 1893 to 1940 National Academy of Songwriters, a music industry association for songwriters National Apprenticeship Service, the official UK government body responsible for apprenticeship coordination National Archives of Scotland, in Edinburgh, Scotland National Association of Scholars, an educational organization based in the United States National Association of Schoolmasters, a former trade union representing teachers in the UK National Association of Seadogs, a Nigerian confraternity National Audubon Society, an American environmental organization dedicated to conservancy National Autistic Society, an autism-related charity in the United Kingdom National Salvation Front (South Sudan), a South Sudanese militant group Nautical Archaeology Society, a British archaeology charity Nord Anglia International School Dubai These are all very real.
