Despite downward trend in membership teachers unions still spend big on politics

In the midst of the direction of low membership since the Supreme Court canceled the mandatory union dues, the unions of the largest teachers in the country poured tens of millions to left -wing reasons, and finds a new report from a conservative monitoring group.

The non -profit national group, the defense of ED, issued a report this week after combing it through the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers’ Contributions in Left and Skin groups. The non -profit organizations have found that the unionists spent $ 43.5 million since 2022 to help finance government political action committees and left -wing entities ideologically, such as the capital tanks.

“It is clear that the priorities of the teachers unions enhance the left left policy, radical social justice issues, not children’s education,” Ed Ryan Stallie Researcher told Fox News Digital. “This is a slap in the face of families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve reading and mathematics skills. It is time to stop congress to stop the outrageous distribution of public funds to enhance the left -wing policy.”

The main PAC, who supports Harris in 2024, received the thirtieth and thirtieth boxes, and the future attacker, the last of which was the main superior that supports both complete Harris in 2024, after former President Joe Biden came out, it was all that was collected approximately $ 1.5 million of units, according to the report.

The unions also failed to large cash amounts for groups that focus on supporting the leftist candidates for public positions, such as the Democratic Conservative Association, the majority in the House of Representatives and the majority in the Senate.

Other groups have donated to include major leftist thought tanks such as the American Progress Center and its arm 501 (c) (4), which has received nearly one million dollars since 2022 of the two unionists.

Hate teaching, hiding the truth: it revealed the real Nea’s agenda in a leakage booklet

Aaron Witt, an expert in public sector unions, pointed out that the National Education Association spends less than 10 % of its budget for what he called “representative activities”, while the Federation at the same time spends 38 % of its budget on contributions to left transfer groups, pressure and political gifts.

“You believed in light of the federation’s decline in recent years, they would start providing value to members that exceed the cost of membership,” Whit told Fox News Digital. “Instead, they accommodate the radical base of the members of the Union by defending men in women’s sports, the transfer of palace, anti -Semitism and other radical ideological positions.”

He added that this is just a “iceberg’s tip” “when you think that there are thousands of unions of teachers at the state level, city teachers and provinces, most of which are funded in the same reasons.”
