Republican lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would revoke the National Education Association’s federal charter, over concerns of its priorities.
Since the NEA was exposed for calling President Trump a fascist and adopting resolutions that are partisan driven, many Republicans in Congress believe that the nation’s largest teachers union is prioritizing politics over education and has morphed into a mouthpiece for left-wing extremism.
U.S. Rep. Mark Harris, R-North Carolina, and U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, introduced a bill, the National Education Association Charter Repeal Act, which would revoke the NEA’s federal charter.
The Center Square reached out to the NEA for comment but has not received a response.
After Congress established the NEA in 1906, the goal was for it to support America’s teachers and strengthen its schools. Harris said the NEA has abandoned that mission in order to support radical leftist agendas.
“From branding President Trump a fascist to embracing divisive gender ideology and walking away from efforts to fight antisemitism, the NEA has become nothing more than a partisan advocacy group,” said Harris. “Since the NEA is clearly not prioritizing students, parents or even teachers, it’s time to remove Congress’ seal of approval from this rogue organization.”
Blackburn said the NEA has made it clear it is a partisan organization, and it should not be given a platform to expand its woke ideology.
