Largest Teachers Union In US Prioritizes Social Justice, Equity And Political Activism Yet Again!
You won't believe the list of things NEA is funding, and let's not forget that most Greenwich Public School educators pay dues to NEA and fund this radical agenda.
Becky Pringle, the President of the largest teachers union in the country, the National Education Association ("NEA"), delivered yet another wild and over-the-top emotional performance at the NEA's Representative Assembly in Portland, Oregon, on July 3rd.
She complained about "despicable decisions" from the Supreme Court, like the one that protects parental rights when it comes to LGBTQ indoctrination in the classroom.
Pringle praised educators for continuing to fight for "equity" despite the "Department of Education's dangerous, diabolical, and unconstitutional edict" to erase DEI, and then she complained that what's happening with the Trump Administration is "not normal."
"The pitting of parents against educators, neighbors against neighbors, community communities against themselves, scapegoating, othering, blaming instead of fixing the inequitable systems that are baked in the very soil of this nation," Pringle exclaimed.
She blamed "Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies" for "gutting protections for trans students" in favor of protecting girls, and for "dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion programs" that discriminate against students based on their skin color.
She was adamant that no one should ever be able to dismantle DEI because, "if they can control what our students learn, they can control what they believe. And then they can use those beliefs to manipulate reality and reason."
Yeah, she actually said that out loud, as if conservative parents don't already know that their children's beliefs are being manipulated by left-wing union educators who act like students are their own children to educate how the union sees fit!
During the meeting NEA members adopted a number of New Business Items across six different thematic buckets, including "ensuring equity by advancing racial, social and economic justice" in direct defiance of the Trump Administration.
Here's are some examples of the priorities for the nation's largest teachers union in the coming year:
New Business Item #1: Encouraging locals to fight for racial, economic, and social justice, and standing in solidarity with their union family to build power ahead of the biggest holiday on the Communist calendar, May Day ($235,860)
New Business Item #22: Developing AAPI curriculum that advances racial justice and provides an anti-racist education for all students ($105,000)
New Business Item #31: Using the media to promote educator-led student activist groups for schools, public libraries, museums, and community groups fighting against Trump's budget cuts ($69,943)
New Business Item #58: Supporting the "No Kings" movement and denouncing Trump for using the military to protect federal buildings and workers during the riots in Los Angeles ($1,500)
New Business Item #59: Defending "birthright citizenship" from Trump ($34,500)
New Business Item #60: Updating NEA materials to characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions as "fascism" ($3,500)
New Business Item #63: Opposing ICE in schools and defending students’ right to organize against Trump’s policies ($32,500)
New Business Item #66: Using the media 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" ($2,000)
New Business Item #84: Pushing back against the Supreme Court Case Mahmoud v Taylor while avoiding possible disciplinary action when teaching about LGBTQ+ history, materials, resources, books, etc., at school/work ($209,025)
Interestingly, the NEA voted to end the endorsement, usage and/or publication of materials from the Anti-Defamation League ("ADL") which has become just another arm of the democrat party.
Hopefully, that means teachers will stop using the ADL's Pyramid of Hate in Greenwich High School's 11th Grade Health Class -- the lesson told students they unwittingly provided foundational support for genocide if they failed to acknowledge their own privilege, used "non-inclusive language" or opposed using proof of citizenship to vote in US elections.
Meanwhile, after watching Becky Pringle's full speech, we can't help but wonder if she perhaps missed her calling as an actress or televangelist. Check out the last couple minutes:
By the way, this dramatic performance comes on the heels of another unhinged speech Pringle delivered at the NEA Leadership Summit in May in which she complained about the "Administration's crusade to vilify the treasured American values, diversity and equity, inclusion and access."
Pringle promised the NEA would achieve its "highest goal" which is to transform public education into a "racially and socially just and equitable system that prepares... everyone to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world."
"Now, NEA, I need to be clear with you. We will not walk away from our commitment to racial and social justice, not ever, not ever! Not one election, not all of the elections," shouted Pringle. "We will stand in that commitment every day! Every day!!"
Later, in another emotional outburst, Pringle cried out, "our children are depending on us."
No Becky, they still aren't your children.
In fact, children need to be protected from the Becky Pringles of the world -- the radical social justice warriors posing as educators who want nothing more than to undermine parental rights and indoctrinate children into their left-wing, progressive mindset.
