The National Education Association (“NEA”), which represents public school teachers, is America’s largest labor union, with over 2.8 million members as of last year. Approximately 70% of America’s public school teachers are NEA members. In the 2024 political campaign, it contributed $22.7 million to fund elections, with 98.24% going to Democrats.

The NEA’s size, wealth, and—most importantly—its power over America’s children are why the resolutions that its leadership agreed to during its most recent annual convention matter. Corey A. DeAngelis, who labels himself a “school choice evangelist,” got hold of the resolutions from the convention, and they are horrifying, for they are pure Marxism. No wonder the leadership team tried to keep them secret.

DeAngelis has posts on X detailing the insanity, Marxism, Trump Derangement, and antisemitism. I’ve worked my way through for some highlights (or, more accurately, lowlights), which I’ll share here.

The one that attracted the most attention is the NEA’s adoption of a business item holding that, in all its materials, it will explicitly identify anything Trump does as fascist. It’s an affordable to-do item, which leadership estimates will cost only $3,500 (an infinitesimal speck out of the NEA’s annual half-billion-dollar budget):

If you listen to the teachers who appeared at the meeting, the above resolution is not aberrant. It’s completely aligned with everything America’s most active and engaged public school teachers believe. Thus, there’s this sweet-faced gal from Pennsylvania, who is a state and national “teacher of the year.” She fully understands that she has a bully pulpit in the classroom:

The teachers union's "2025 Teacher of the Year" said her job is "deeply political" and always has been.

The event also hosted a “Socialism 2025” conference to encourage radicalizing students as early as possible. They understand that children indoctrinated early stay indoctrinated:

And of course, no Marxist organization is complete without someone who stands for hypocrisy—in this case, a man who argues vigorously against school choice, but is himself a product of private schools:

These are people who pull up the ladder behind them after escaping from a pit.

They are also the people who elected Becky Pringle as the NEA’s president (annual salary: $481,161). This is Betty Pringle:

That latter video shows why the NEA also has as part of its platform a mandate that teachers encourage students to protest ICE agents who are detaining people who are illegally in this country:

The NEA also resolved that it will fight to its last breath to defend the Department of Education (an agency under which American education has declined or flatlined) because to do anything else would be “illegal, anti-democratic, and [of course] racist”:

The nation's largest teachers union passed a business item "to oppose any move to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education as an illegal, anti-democratic, and racist attempt to destroy public education and privatize it in the interests of the billionaires." pic.twitter.com/Z9zKW3HOgY

Speaking of racism, there is one type of racism the Marxists at the NEA support, and that’s antisemitism. To that end, the leadership team resolved to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League, an organization founded to fight antisemitism:

The irony is that, under Jonathan Greenblatt, an Obama crony, the ADL has become a hardcore leftist institution that only occasionally remembers to fight against antisemitism, and even partners with antisemites. But as Jews have been discovering, since October 7, 2023, the Democrat party no longer loves them or Israel. Instead, it gives its strongest support to Muslims who fanatically shout their desire to annihilate Jews. The NEA is now on the frontline of that movement, which is why antisemitism is “rampant” in classrooms.

The NEA long ago abandoned the U.S. and Western Civilization history and civics lessons that enable children to know and love their country. Now, though, it’s also abandoned any pretense of being an organization that helps prepare children to function in the world by giving them at least basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. Instead, the NEA’s open and avowed goal is to advance a Marxist agenda in America and to use the children trapped in public school classrooms as their vehicle for change.
