@RhondaFurin @conservmillen @thebossoriginal @weichiyuanzhu While teachers are stereotypically liberal, a survey done by Education Week found that 43 % of educators define themselves as moderate, with a near equal number identifying as conservative or liberal,which is not true.

Teachers are a moderate and politically diverse crowd. That being said, in the past 28 years, teachers unions have given 96% of their funding to Democratic candidates. Point:They can have their political skirmishes,without bringing it in academia, that will influence children.

In the agenda from the National Education Association (NEA)’s most recent annual meeting, their commitment to supporting BLM, opposing arming teachers in schools, removing confederate leaders from school monuments...

listing individuals who have refused services to the LGBTQ people, opposing charter schools and voucher programs & describing and deconstructing “the systemic proliferation of the white supremacy culture & its constituent elements of white privilege and institutional racism”!!!

Regardless of our views on all of these, we can see a clear disparity between the agenda of the largest teachers union in the nation and the views of its teachers. Perhaps even more glaring, many of these issues have only a tangential relation to education, if at all.
