As Twitchy reported, the National Education Association held its Representative Assembly last week to vote on certain budgetary issues, and the union members approved an additional $56,500 to the budget to “research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work” and $127,600 to promote critical race theory and create a study that “critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriachy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society.”
A few people have noticed that those issues appear to have vanished from the NEA’s website:
So, shortly after I published this, the National Education Association took down the web page showing the org's vote in favor of critical race theory. https://t.co/34KKCUWIVb

Probably because it’s just teaching history and is so popular

Jessica Anderson is executive director of Heritage Action — the organization the NEA mentioned as an example of the anti-CRT organizations it wanted to research:
🚨BREAKING🚨
3 days after their annual meeting concludes, @NEAToday, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, scrubs the agenda items announcing their nationwide campaign to push CRT from their website.
Why are they covering up their support for CRT? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/uWZomRt2dV

Tyler Olson reports for Fox News:
Dozens of pages of assembly resolutions and proposed resolutions disappeared from The National Education Association’s (NEA) website Tuesday, some of which included highly-controversial items on critical race theory, anti-racism, and mandatory vaccines.
The pages on the website for the largest teachers union in the United States were visible as recently as Tuesday morning, a few days after the conclusion of the NEA’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly.
…
One resolution that disappeared from the NEA’s site was New Business Item 39, which conveyed the NEA’s desire to “fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric.” That resolution passed.
Another resolution that passed – New Business Item 2 – said the “NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.”
Hmm…

Hmmmm. I wonder why they did that.

It is utterly astounding that an organization this large could vote for something like this, then when it's pointed out simply remove the evidence. If they support it, and believe what it says, why would they need to keep it under the cover of darkness?

“Our ideas are so popular that we need to hide the evidence that we support them.”

They're now forcing opponents into a game of CRT whack-a-mole.
But not really winning at it.

CRT is a joke
— Joe Bob (@JoelBNole) July 6, 2021
This aggression against cisheteropatriarchy will not STAND, man.
— suburban homer (@suburban_homer) July 6, 2021
They want to reduce the controversy to word games–at which they excel–instead of allowing it to embrace the essential conflict of values that is really at stake in it.

They’ll just teach CRT without announcing it. Impossible to ever trust them.
— Jorge Padilla (@jhpadillaleal) July 6, 2021
These people on the "right side of history" sure like to delete, suppress, stealth edit, and change language a lot. 🤔
— Kooper Glick (@JamesBr80493325) July 6, 2021
They are scrubbing it b/c they are just gonna change the name of the CRT agenda. Guaranteed it’s still full throttle ahead, only now, it won’t get as much attention.
— Bad for Business (@censorshipUSA) July 6, 2021
Regardless of if its scrubbed or not we need to start thinking about the value of teachers unions and how they affect our children. Frankly, with everything we have seen since the pandemic we just need to defund them
— jennifer (@freebird2208) July 6, 2021
I wouldn’t be surprised if they went back to denying it’s being taught while covertly pushing it out into school curricula as history, social studies, civics, geography, literature, and “research.” It’s how the Marxist left has been operating for decades to divide our country.

Don’t forget math.
