Unions Under Fire for Political Priorities | Birmingham News
Description
A new Senate report accuses major teachers’ unions of shifting focus from student learning to political activism, citing controversial materials and alliances that challenge American institutions. In Alabama, the state’s anti-union political activity laws have already clashed with union efforts to fund political causes. The report highlights specific allegations against the NEA, including inflammatory rhetoric about GOP lawmakers and opposition to patriotic traditions like the Fourth of July. Senator Bill Cassidy is now demanding greater financial transparency and even questioning the NEA’s federal charter, urging unions to refocus on education—not ideology.
