Congressional Republicans will unveil a bill Wednesday aimed at revoking the federal charter of the National Education Association (NEA), the largest labor union in the United States, the Daily Caller has learned.
Republicans Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina and Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee will introduce the National Education Association Charter Repeal Act in their respective chambers, aiming to sever the union from its congressional ties, a congressional aide told the Caller. Founded in 1857, the NEA received its charter from Congress in 1906 and now represents over 3 million educators nationwide.
However, Harris said that the NEA has abandoned its mission “to support America’s teachers and strengthened our schools” on behalf of a “radical agenda” in statement.
“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,” the representative continued. “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.”
The federal charter formalized the NEA’s status as nonprofit organization under federal statute and with a purpose acknowledged by the government.
The NEA has a “long list of egregious violations of public trust,” including an Open Secrets report finding that 98 percent of NEA political donations went to Democratic candidates during the 2024 election cycle, Harris said in a statement obtained by the Caller.
More recently, the NEA has faced controversy for passing a resolution that “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,” the New York Post reported, citing documents obtained by conservative education expert Corey DeAngelis.
Tina Descovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, praised Harris’ move in a statement obtained by the Caller. “It’s incredibly sad that the nation‘s largest teachers’ union has put woke politics before America’s children. The NEA’s embrace of radical left policies and antisemitism, combined with their rejection of parental rights, has forced moms and dads across America to condemn this organization,” she said.
The NEA’s operations rely primarily on member dues, not support from the federal government, according to Influence Watch. However, the bill could sever the organization’s congressional ties and eliminate certain property tax exemptions, according to the statement obtained by the Caller.
Similar bills to revoke the NEA’s charter, including one proposed by Blackburn in 2022, have struggled to gain traction, stalling in committee or merely being introduced on the floor.
The Caller has reached out to the NEA for comment but has not received a response at the time of publication.

BTTT
Samuel L. Blumenfeld would have been pleased to see this.
Do it! Do it twice just to be sure.
The most vile and disgusting people in the US.
How many pages is this one?
The NEA is Bernie-bot central.
Public servant employees in a Union, is insane. Like having a strike at the base where they are building a new attack sub. The same should be true for school employees. In WA state, they just make a law that Teachers get unemployment if they are on strike, along with other state employees. Of course, nobody has ever just told the Teachers to pound sand when they go on strike. They NEVER miss a paycheck, and what happens is the days missed in school are made up within the year somehow. They even now call half days, full days. Teachers also have in service days, that count towards the school year, but kids are not at school. It IS NUTZ.
WOW!
Now this is how you fight the loonie left!
A long shot but again...WOW!
John Taylor Gatto too.
Yes. Gatto and Blumenfeld are both gone now. It’s a shame.
When are they going to lock up those NEA SOBS. They’ve destroyed the futures of millions of American children. LOCK THEM UP!
The NEA having a charter or not having a charter would be irrelevant if the department were destroyed.
It’s not a fight.
It’s a surrender.
They’re trying to keep us busy and distracted so we don’t realize and remember that the Department of Education is supposed to be abolished.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Interesting...
and our Marsha is part of this MAGA bill...
