Classrooms should be about education, not political playbooks.

When a teachers' union with 3M members spends its time on activism training instead of academics, it tells you everything about the misplaced priorities in education. ➡️ foxnews.com/politics/leake…

"Our schools should hire and retain faculty based on their ability to educate and inspire students. WHPS' race-based policy raises serious questions about the district's values and whether they're putting students first or ideology." -Defending Education's Chloe Hunt @thecentersquare thecentersquare.com/connecticut/ar…

The most recent disclosures from the teacher's union show why many families are leaving public schools and choosing education over indoctrination. foxnews.com/politics/leake… The NEA is little surprise given its president. facebook.com/reel/137979091…

Hilarious that teachers unions are now training left-wing teachers on what to do if they're called out by @libsoftiktok. Along with how to protect their classroom pride flags, how to get away with wacky pronoun usage, and more. H/t @DefendingEd

EXCLUSIVE: Biden ED Quietly Colluded With Far Left On Parents Council: Emails: 'Hand-picked a set of allies and yes-men' dlvr.it/TRYlPM

BREAKING: A bombshell report dropped this morning by @DefendingEd and @DailyCaller reveals that under Joe Biden, a “secret advisory council” gave teachers’ unions and leftist activist groups power over American education.

We discovered that the Biden administration wanted - shocker! - no input from conservatives in creating his lefty “parents council.” And after stonewalling our documents request for more info to prove the collusion, we sued them again.

🚨BREAKING: The Biden administration in 2022 quietly worked with left-leaning activist groups in its attempt to form a secret parent advisory council, @DailyCaller reports. Emails obtained by @DefendingEd and shared with The Daily Caller reportedly show the Department of Education targeted left-leaning groups when seeking participants for the council. Some groups in response reportedly asked for the council to be more "inclusive" and represent "geographic and demographic diversity."

NEW: Emails show the Biden DOE tried to build a so-called “parent advisory council” made up almost entirely of activist groups and union allies while excluding dissenting voices. 👉 dailycaller.com/2026/03/18/exc…
