The National Education Association adopted new resolutions encouraging resistance to the Trump administration.
The NEA, the largest U.S. teachers union with over 3 million members, approved multiple business items that oppose any kind of action by the Trump administration and characterized the president as a fascist. It also said it would no longer endorse the Anti-Defamation League, a longtime organization known for combatting antisemitism.
The union OK’d the resolutions during its annual convention July 3-6 in Portland, Oregon.
Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project, obtained a copy of the NEA’s resolutions and posted them on X.
“I just received a copy of the National Education Association’s resolutions that they passed at their annual convention,” said DeAngelis. “They kept them private this year.”
Throughout the X thread, DeAngelis exposes each newly adopted business item.
“NEA pledges to defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions,” according to the union’s resolution. “NEA will use existing media channels to oppose any move to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education as an illegal, anti-democratic, and racist attempt to destroy public education and privatize it in the interests of the billionaires.”
