The National Education Association has voted to break with the Anti-Defamation League, seeking to end a decades-long partnership on fighting antisemitism while offering more evidence that defenders of Israel may no longer have a home on the progressive left.
Delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly approved Sunday a proposal to prohibit the nation’s largest teachers’ union from using, endorsing or publicizing educational materials from the ADL, as well as its data, programs and professional offerings.
“Educators embrace the urgency to respond to the questions of racism, injustice, and all forms of bigotry,” said the resolution called New Business Item 39. “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice partner it claims to be.”
In its Campus Crisis Alert, the ADL called the measure “profoundly disturbing” and “an attack on educational resources on antisemitism, the Holocaust and anti-bias learning.”
The stunning move to shun the prominent civil-rights group was driven by Educators for Palestine, an NEA caucus that gained formal recognition last year. The group cheered the outcome as a vote to “support Palestine.”
The caucus is aligned with the broader “Drop the ADL” coalition, a collective of more than 200 progressive and Muslim groups that has called for exiling the league from the broader left-liberal community over its support for Israel...
The measure approved at the meeting of 7,000 delegates, held July 2-6 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, isn’t official union policy yet.
The item was designated a “boycott,” meaning that it must first clear the executive committee, then win another vote at next year’s representative assembly.

Aren’t the bozos at the NEA the same slobs who refer to American voters as “Nazis”? They don’t seem very educated. They don’t know any history.
There are enlightened Jews and there are stupid Jews.
Telling them apart can be difficult at times.
Pathetic
So it’s basically communist faction infighting.
Funny, nothing about improving the quality of basic 3-R education.
And joining the PRO-defamation club?
Rat fight!
Time to defund NEA, a demoncRAT laundering machine.
They are two circles nearly in the same spot on a venn diagram. Their curse since 32 AD. The problem is we all suffer from their terminal stupidity/brilliance
I think this is clear, crystal clear.
Yep
Funny, nothing about improving the quality of basic 3-R education.
