We’re Jewish schoolteachers — our union’s vote against the ADL attacks us too

As veteran public school teachers and longtime members of the National Education Association teachers’ union, we believe deeply in the transformative power of education — to inspire empathy, build bridges and create safer, more inclusive communities.

That’s why we were appalled by the NEA’s recent decision to adopt a measure that would prohibit use of educational materials from the Anti-Defamation League.

The ADL’s “No Place for Hate” program, a student-led program aimed at fostering schools free from hate and bias, has been implemented in more than 2,000 schools across the country. It has made a measurable, positive impact on school climate.

Actions have consequences. Shouldn’t have riden the marxist tiger.

How about just TO LEARN? I am convinced that abandoning good order & discipline in the classroom and going beyond (way beyond) the core mission of learning is the crux of the problem.

If you go full SJW, don’t be surprised if one day the wokies come for you.

As a FRiend pointed out, the NEA decided to go with the Pro-Defamation League.

your union, if it is the teachers’ union we’re familiar with, has been taken over by a bunch of commies who are, inherently, anti=American, anti=Christian, and yes, anti-Jewish (they’re basic communists, after all....cats have whiskers and tails...commies have anti=American, anti-moral value attitudes.... its part of what defines them as commies)

there’s a great deal of public opposition to even allowing unions in public service, taxpayer-supported organizations like public schools

I’d respectfully suggest that... now that you’ve awakened to the danger in the union leadership (being that they’ve kicked you hard in your nether regions)...... that you find and get your fellow teachers to clean house at the union... before the American people shut it down permanently.

Since both organizations are Marxist run we should encourage the fratricide

They should go back to the three Rs.

Belonging to the UFT was mandatory if you wanted to teach in NYC. It was horrible hearing union leaders praising dimmocrap talking points, supporting dim candidates and dim politicians' policies. When they started supporting dim candidates, I canceled my COPE (their political arm) contribution. I see that now, Jewish teachers resent the UFT supporting Mamdani and other frankly commie candidates and they are finally cancelling their contributions. Goodness, the corrupt lying, good for nothing head of the UFT just endorsed this light-on-experience, Jew-hating liar for mayor! And he is ready to use union money to support this SOB. Fie on that! I witnessed 9/11! I am so glad to be retired and out of NYC, I thank G-d every day.

“They should go back to the three Rs.”

Right. “to inspire empathy, build bridges and create safer, more inclusive communities.” Nothing here about preparing our kids for their futures as responsible, self-reliant, productive, and law-abiding citizens.

I’ll have to admit it’s not easy being a liberal Jewish Democrat these days

[jonatron]

All that new-age mumbo-jumbo is simply a litany of code-words for the real purpose that taxpayer-funded “schooling” is being spent on: Marxist indoctrination of the youth.
