🚨 @DefendingEd has released two new reports exposing how teachers' unions have funneled more than $1 BILLION into political causes over the past decade. foxnews.com/politics/watch…

The presentation also included maps labeling states like Texas, Florida, and Kansas as “do not travel” states over so-called “anti-trans legal risks,” and claimed nearly 30% of SFUSD students are “queer or questioning.” 👇 defendinged.org/incidents/san-…

NEW: @DefendingEd has obtained slides from a recent presentation by the Queer Trans Parent Advisory Council at @SFUnified, in which activists pushed for all-gender restrooms and changing spaces, as well as districtwide LGBTQ training for staff. 👉 thecentersquare.com/california/art…

Families will now have real pathways to education options outside of a system that’s struggled with outcomes despite spending more per pupil than any other state in the country.

Another major step from @usedgov as it cracks down on DEI practices in higher education, including at UCLA’s medical school. The DOJ concluded the school’s admissions process prioritized racial demographics and “diversity goals,” resulting in students with significantly lower GPAs and MCAT scores being admitted.

College students pressured a pro-Israel commencement speaker to withdraw due to his "harmful" opinions. Higher ed keeps proving it can’t tolerate basic viewpoint diversity.

@TheJusticeDept Full piece at @TheFP: thefp.com/p/reverse-raci…

.@TheJusticeDept is pursuing multiple cases tied to DEI and race-based decision-making in admissions and hiring, including at UCLA’s medical school. When medical schools put politics above performance, it doesn’t stay in the classroom — it shows up in patient care.

A big step towards prioritizing kids' safety over sexual predators as @usedgov dives into a Title IX investigation of LAUSD to hold them accountable for sexual misconduct.

@DefendingEd @LaraLeaTrump Full complaint from @DefendingEd against Chicago Public Schools: defendinged.org/complaints/ocr…

WATCH: @DefendingEd has filed civil rights complaints against CPS and LAUSD over programs that prioritize students based on identity instead of academic need. The education system needs to focus on teaching, not sorting kids by identity politics. 🎥 @LaraLeaTrump

Teachers’ union activists think they are entitled to our children, using schools to push political agendas while keeping families in the dark about their kids’ education. 🎥 @LaraLeaTrump

@DefendingEd @LaraLeaTrump State and local spending report from @DefendingEd here: defendinged.org/investigations…

@DefendingEd @LaraLeaTrump Full @DefendingEd report on their national spending here: defendinged.org/investigations…

MUST WATCH: @DefendingEd has two different reports looking into union expenditures and discovered that teachers’ unions such as NEA and AFT have funneled up to $1 billion into political causes rather than backing their own educators. 🎥 @LaraLeaTrump

Trump’s War on Drug Cartels Lara is joined by @DefendingEd founder and president @NickiNeily to break down her latest research revealing over a billion dollars in spending by teachers unions and where that money is actually going. Nicki details how funds have flowed to organizations like the Clinton Foundation and the Southern Poverty Law Center, and raises concerns about political activism in schools, including high school students being bused to participate in May Day protests. Later in the episode, Lara speaks with newly appointed Drug Czar @SaraCarterDC about the Trump administration’s aggressive new strategy to combat drug cartels. Sara outlines the policies being implemented to reduce drug trafficking and overdose deaths, including innovative approaches like wastewater testing. While drug deaths are declining under President Trump, both emphasize that significant work still lies ahead in the fight against the cartel-driven drug crisis.

BREAKING: New York Governor Hochul says she will opt in to the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit! She will be the 2nd Democratic governor to do so, after Colorado Governor Polis. School choice is coming to New York!

@NEWSMAX @JohnFBachman @DefendingEd Full complaint from @DefendingEd here: defendinged.org/complaints/ocr…

WATCH: @NEWSMAX’s @JohnFBachman breaks down the ongoing investigation into Smith College’s gender policies, which comes after our @DefendingEd complaint against its “gender identity” practices. Allowing men into an all-women’s college undermines women’s only spaces.
