A key US senator wants fellow lawmakers to consider revoking the National Education Association\u2019s congressional charter.<\/p>\n

Read more I\u2019m on the spectrum \u2014 and so are you! Definition of autism so broad that it\u2019s meaningless<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s to consider? The union, the nation\u2019s largest representing teachers, clearly hasn\u2019t met its obligations under the charter; Congress should revoke it pronto.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who chairs the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, is urging colleagues to reconsider the NEA\u2019s charter specifically over its links to a number of far-left nonprofits, including the Zinn Education Project and Rethinking Schools, and its alleged out-of-control financial mismanagement.<\/p>\n

Those and other NEA-linked groups push agendas that actually justify the terrorism and murders committed by the Black Panther Party and push for indoctrinating young kids with gender extremism.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren are struggling to read and to do basic math. Instead of helping students succeed, teachers\u2019 unions are injecting a dangerous, anti-American agenda into our classrooms,\u201d fumes Cassidy.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents deserve to send their children to school without worrying that they will be indoctrinated with\u00a0DEI\u00a0and taught that Americans have \u2018misplaced faith\u2019 in our institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

A charter revocation wouldn\u2019t stop the NEA from operating, but it would deliver a severe reputational blow to the group.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one that\u2019s long overdue \u2014- and not only because the union has focused on hard-left politics instead of history, geography, math and science.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, the NEA, along with the American Federation of Teachers, has presided over a decades-long effort to completely wreck any meaningful standards in education in order to shield their millions of members from any accountability.<\/p>\n

At the same time, they fought for ever fatter paychecks and pensions, while spending millions in union dues on radical-left political causes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the 2020 George Floyd riots, both the NEA and the AFT ratcheted up their leftist activism and fought to turn America\u2019s classrooms into BLM-indoctrination factories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Never mind reading and math, kids were taught that America is evil, brainwashed with antisemitic tropes about Israel and shown pornography as part of their sex and \u201cgender\u201d education; some educators even sought to socially transition kids without parental knowledge or consent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The results are tragic: an increasingly illiterate and innumerate nation, with the damage concentrated among the most vulnerable kids.<\/p>\n

In New York, almost 30% of fourth-graders score below basic on the National Assessment of Educational Progress\u2019 mathematics test, while 41% are below on reading \u2014 about where the depressing national numbers are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The NEA\u2019s charter, dating from 1906, requires union to \u201celevate the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching; and to promote the cause of education in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

For decades, all evidence shows the unions have done precisely the opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though the AFT has no congressional charter, in July, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce began probing allegations that its boss, Randi Weingarten, spent the union\u2019s dues to write and promote a controversial, lefty-slanted book.<\/p>\n

Congress must now take on the NEA as well \u2014 at the very least, revoking its charter, a small first step toward making sure our kids are actually learning in school.<\/p>\n
