REPORT: The AFT’s and the NEA’s Summer of Woke

Introduction

The two largest public education unions, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), claim to be mainstream because they represent the interests of most teachers in America, but the policy statements and resolutions adopted by their leadership at national meetings last month demonstrate how little they care for the average student or teacher and classroom learning. It is time for all NEA and AFT members to consider whether they wish to let these groups continue to use a portion of their hard-earned paychecks to fund the extreme ideology of their union leaders.
