The Free Beacon’s Matthew Foldi has a great thread on the National Education Association taking up several far-left resolutions, such as accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and investigating organizations that are “attacking” educators doing anti-racist work. It’s really neck-and-neck which is the worst of the teachers’ unions at this point. As Foldi warns, “This is who teaches our kids.”

@NEAToday, the nation's largest teachers' union, will be conducting an *entirely virtual* convention, even though unionized teachers across the country were some of the first prioritized for COVID vaccines.
Because science!https://t.co/J6fg2OWxtd

Teachers' unions across the country have come out against both Israel and Jews in recent months. @AFTunion head @rweingarten criticized Jews as being "part of the ownership class" dedicated to denying opportunities to others.https://t.co/J6fg2OWxtd

Fact-check: True. Randi Weingarten said back in April that “American Jews are now part of the ownership class” who want to yank the “ladder of opportunity away” from others.

“The NEA will publicize its support for the Palestinian struggle for justice” … and its “heroic struggle against military repression and ‘ethnic cleansing’ by the Israeli state.” Good of them to put quotation marks around “ethnic cleansing” to show they were being sarcastic.
But here’s where it gets good. The NEA needs money to look into the Heritage Foundation and other groups that are “attacking” educators doing anti-racist work.
NEW: @NEAToday just adopted its New Business item 2, voting to spend $56,500 to "research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work."

“We need to be better prepared to respond to these attacks so that our members can continue this important work,” which will cost an additional $56,500.
The national teachers union is funding an attack machine against me, @Gundisalvus, and our allies.
We were born for this fight—and will show no mercy to the corrupt ideologues who are ruining American education. Swords up!⚔ https://t.co/TmOP0f5mRc

The group with the lowest education level on the planet is seeking to fundraise from the people that they've "educated" to stop people from seeking a real education. Got it.

In other words, they’ll get the propaganda sent out so the so called “educators” can repeat it enough to make it true.

Too effective for their comfort.
The humiliation of Joy Read was the last straw.

Rufo, you have many teachers on your side. Probably a large majority. The left is louder, obnoxious, and bullying.

Any organization that indoctrinates racism into our children should rightfully be attacked by every parent trying to raise their children free of racism.

You've already written a detailed refutation of this post-modernist racist theory by nihilistic theorists. Now its time to expose & purge the racist cult leaders from the curriculum & rescue the young minds damaged by these anti-thought cult methods of indoctrination.

"attacking educators" – how teachers unions regard parents who hold teachers accountable for their students' instruction.
— BlueridgeWV (@Blueridgewv) July 1, 2021
How dare they “storm” school board meetings and give input as to how their children are educated.
Does this essentially amount to teachers (who pay the union dues) funding attacks on parents who object to those teachers who promote race and gender shaming of their children?
If this isn't the best reason to break the teachers union, I don't know what would be.
— Laurie (@laurieinri) July 1, 2021
Yes. We’ve already seen teachers compiling a list of parents involved in anti-CRT groups and looking for people to “infiltrate” their communications and maybe even hack their websites.
