Defense of Freedom Institute

At an education policy debate hosted by Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs (@PrincetonSPIA), DFI's Jim Blew pushed back against the misuse of civil rights laws for radical political agendas.

The Chicago Teachers Union is listed as a sponsor for yet another political activist cause—this time, a “Hands Off Iran and Lebanon” protest. They join radical, antisemitic groups like Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS), the Palestinian Youth Movement, and CAIR. jns.org/chicago-teache…

Do school choice programs only help the families who use them? This week on Freedom to Learn, @schoolchoicenow Senior Fellow Patrick Graff (@ParthurGraff) breaks down his latest study, revealing how school choice benefits public school students, too.

Graduate students at George Washington University offer moral support to those "horrified" by Iran's fight for freedom. DFI Senior Fellow @JayPGreene uncovers campus radicalism perpetuated by graduate student unions in this new report: dfipolicy.org/radicalism-of-…

NEW: Graduate student unions tied to the nation's largest teacher unions, the NEA and the AFT, are spreading antisemitism and radical anti-Western views.

The Columbia University student union ignored rampant human rights abuses in the Middle East, but when America and Israel work together, it decries the "imperialist war machine."

@jaypgreene Graduate students at the City University of New York think they can dictate American foreign policy and escape the rule of law. See how these unions, often affiliated with teacher unions, push their radical agendas in @JayPGreene's new report: dfipolicy.org/radicalism-of-…

DID YOU KNOW? At larger research universities, 27% of students come from foreign countries. Many of these unions are heavily populated with foreign students. Our plan: ✅ Require union bosses to certify they're not part of foreign extremist movements ✅Restrict taxpayer funds to universities that recognize unions run by extremists ✅ Reexamine the legal status of graduate student unions

Jefferson County Public Schools are officially on notice: @usedgov has found the district in violation of Title IX for allowing boys in girls' sports and spaces. The district now has days to shape up or face the potential loss of federal funding.

Graduate student unions are strange in that a very large portion of the workers they represent are not US citizens. At Brown, over 40% of those represented by GLO are from abroad. Not surprisingly, they focus on radical foreign issues rather than wages & working conditions. 🧵1/
