The nation’s largest teachers union faced ridicule this week for misspelling “fascism” in a resolution opposing President Trump.
The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million teachers nationwide, approved the mangled proposal – aimed at defending “the survival of civilization itself” – on Sunday at the group’s annual convention.
“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,” read the adopted agenda item, obtained by conservative education expert Corey A. DeAngelis, who shared it on X.
“The members and material resources of NEA must be committed to the defense of the democratic and educational conditions required by our hopes for a just society and the survival of civilization itself by stating the truth,” the wordy new business item continued.
The document noted that calling out Trump’s “facism” [sic] in NEA materials “cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources” because it would cost an additional $3,500 to do so.
DeAngelis, and several people on social media, mocked the NEA over the spelling error.
“Yes, the union that claims to represent educators couldn’t even spell ‘fascism’ correctly in its official resolution attacking the president,” he wrote in a Fox News opinion piece. “The irony is almost too rich to parody.”
Tina Descovich, the CEO and co-founder of conservative group Moms for Liberty, argued that the agenda item was emblematic of the dismal state of the American education system.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
These libtard clowns are so blinded by their irrational hatred that they can’t even spell fascism right!
Teachers aren’t what they used to be. Here I am in my 70s and I can still remember the name of every teacher I had all the way up to graduation from high school.
As my momma always used to say, “Stupid is as stupid does...”
Teacher??? They misspelled indoctrinator.
They split an infinitive, too.
So stupit.
Too bad there isn’t a National Editors Association - they could even use the same acronym...
I’ll bet 90%+ members of the of NEA don’t know what ‘fascism’ is. It doesn’t mean ‘group that kills Jews’ - which is how they pretend it is - it’s really an economic system that deals with who owns and controls the means of production. It’s a stupid idea - similar to communism with different ways of dividing up the economic pie.
It’s also spelled Pfascist since 2020.
What do you expect from a bunch of union thugs?
That one little word sums up the two biggest problems with our school system today: ignorance and indoctrination.
Teachers can’t even write complete sentences.
Stupid is…is stupid does.
Trump is a facist!
There is a reason the cubs are in private school. And it is not because we have money to burn.
Facism? Is that like body-shaming except for faces?
And Randy Weingarten who’s head of American Federation Of Teachers put a post on X. She said the sun would be “’PEAKING’ through on July ‘4rth’”.
When she was ridiculed, she took the post down and replaced it with different wording but with the EXACT SAME errors!
She makes $500K a year and is illiterate. Does that not bother anyone in the educational system?
Exactly.
Can’t we agree that Trump is guilty of Fact-ism.
