The House Education and Workforce Committee has opened an investigation into alleged antisemitism at the National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the U.S.
Committee Chairman Tim Walberg sent a letter Thursday to NEA President Rebecca Pringle, writing that his panel is “gravely concerned” about antisemitic content in the group’s 2025 handbook and the Representative Assembly’s vote in July 2025 to ban materials by the Anti-Defamation League.
The letter asked the union to by Sept. 4 give the committee all communication and documents from officials that included the words “antisemitism,” “Israel,” “Israeli,” “Palestine,” or “Palestinian,” dating back to Oct. 7, 2023, when Palestinian-backed Hamas attacked Israel.
He also said the investigation will help the committee consider whether legislative changes are needed – including ones to specifically address antisemitic discrimination in labor unions and to combat antisemitism in federally funded schools.
