America’s national education system stands at a critical crossroads, crippled by a crisis that demands bold, structural reform built on two essential pillars: dismantling centralized federal control and breaking the Teachers’ Unions’ pervasive grip on our schools. The Trump Administration has decisively tackled the first pillar by shutting down the federal Department of Education, liberating states from the suffocating bureaucracy that has long stifled innovation and local accountability. Yet, the second pillar remains unresolved—a Teachers’ Union monopoly that strangles education at every level, from curriculum to classroom, embedding its influence deep within your state’s system and obstructing the path to true educational freedom and excellence.

The National Education Association (NEA), America’s largest teachers’ union, has morphed into a self-serving behemoth that prioritizes power and profit over education. It’s time to dismantle its influence at the federal level and in every state through decisive legislation—repealing its federal charter, banning dues for political lobbying and campaigning, restricting collective bargaining, ensuring right-to-exit options, and outlawing mandatory dues. This isn’t just reform; it’s a reckoning for an organization that exploits teachers, undermines meritocracy, and leaves students illiterate while its elites rake in millions.
The NEA’s leadership thrives on a corrupt system, collecting $375 million annually enforced dues from over 3 million members—much of it funneled into political war chests ($116.7 million from 2019-2021, 95.7% to Democrats)—while teachers toil under its iron fist.
Meanwhile, American students suffer. Proficiency scores in reading and math have plummeted to historic lows—below even Vietnam, a nation with a fraction of our resources. Honor students now sue school districts upon graduation, discovering they’re functionally illiterate despite glowing report cards. The NEA’s fingerprints are all over this collapse. As its revenues and influence ballooned—$1.6 billion in assets by 2022—student outcomes tanked. Why? Its lobbying muscle shields bloated bureaucracies and resists accountability, ensuring local tax dollars—billions each year—prop up a failing status quo rather than classrooms.
The NEA’s stranglehold on education extends beyond finances into the realm of ideology, aggressively dictating a woke curriculum that poisons young minds. It pushes transgender fluidity policies, endorsing secret transitioning of children without parental consent. Comprehensive sex ed, often age-inappropriate and graphic, is rammed through under the guise of "health," while divisive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs sow racial resentment over unity. American history is twisted into a revisionist tale of shame, teaching kids to hate their country rather than understand its complexities—think 1619 Project over 1776 facts. Backed by NEA resolutions like those in 2021 supporting critical race theory and gender identity training, this agenda prioritizes indoctrination over education, all enforced through its lobbying muscle and collective bargaining leverage. Parents are sidelined, teachers are coerced, and students are left confused or radicalized by an elite-driven ideology that’s as unaccountable as it is destructive.
In 2025, entry-level teachers earn $44,530 on average, while 20-year veterans make $85,000—nearly double—highlighting a tenure-driven, anti-meritocracy pay gap. Teachers’ unions, like the NEA, decry “teacher poverty” to rally support. They require flat percentage raises for all teachers, rewarding veterans deep in their pockets over merit-based pay increases, and stiffing and discouraging new educators whose earnings potential should be based on their talent and performance. This rigged system prioritizes tenure over talent, while unions siphon mandatory dues for political power, not fair pay.
This isn’t a union empowering teachers; it’s a cartel exploiting them. Mandatory dues trap educators into funding agendas they may not support, while collective bargaining locks districts into rigid contracts that stifle innovation and reward mediocrity. Teachers who dare question this are silenced or squeezed out. Parents, students, and communities? They’re voiceless, footing the bill for a parallel system of unaccountable overlords who answer to no one. The NEA’s federal charter, a relic of 1906, lends it undeserved legitimacy—H.R. 7510 and H.R. 4595 must end that privilege, stripping its symbolic shield and exposing it as the private profiteer it is.
Legislation must go further. Ban dues for political activity—let teachers decide where their money goes. Restrict collective bargaining to essentials, freeing schools to reward excellence over seniority. Enshrine right-to-exit and outlaw mandatory dues, giving educators real choice. States like Texas and North Carolina, with no public-sector bargaining, prove this works—unions persist but lack the stranglehold to dictate terms. Nationally, the NEA’s lobbying clout must be severed; its $66 million in political spending since 1990 has bought influence, not results.
The NEA and Teachers’ Unions, like USAID, are shameless, and unapologetically operating as partisan Democrat political machines, fleecing taxpayers and strong-arming educators into coughing up dues to bankroll political campaigns and policies. Under the cover of education, they intentionally brainwash, corrupt, and dumb down our kids to be future Democrat voters and lifelong dependents who can barely spell their names. They’ve turned America’s education system into the world's most costly and lowest-performing system!

Teachers Union, uckkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!! Brings back a lot of memories I'd love to forget and wish had never happened. I dealt with them back in the 90's and some very insane teachers at that time. One, Mrs Brown would make hitler run for the hills to hide. She was mean and her students constantly failed in her class. I'd go in unannounced to find out what was going on and one day stood outside of the open door to her classroom listening to the assistant teacher talk to the 4th grade students. She had them in a semicircle around the teachers desk and she'd yell "what are we going to tell our parents to do?" They'd chant back "read books to us." Then she'd yell "what are we going to do if they don't do what I want them to do?" They'd yell back "REBEL". She did that chanting over and over several times before I finally walked through the door and she knew she'd been exposed. After several years of walking into classrooms unannounced, the school sent me a notice that I could no longer do that after I caught this A-teacher and demanded that I report to the front office and they would call the teacher and ask if she would allow me to come to the classroom. I told people what was going on but no one would listen, even the church came against me claiming I was the one who was wrong, the teachers were perfect. You'll find that nonsense attitude in the Old Testament, many times a prophet would speak out against the people and their sins and some were beaten others murdered because the people refused to listen to the prophets. Didn't stop the judgment that was pronounced upon their heads though. And no, I don't claim to be a prophet, just a man who has seen a lot of things that were going on in the US that shouldn't be and would speak out against it, and yes I was beaten sometimes, and had many attempts upon my life because of it. Wonder if that had anything to do with what caused me a lot of problems to go through. No, I know it did. What I saw going on in the classrooms during the 90's was just the beginning of the evil that was manifesting and finally bore its vile fruit under Obama's reign of terror. Only one teach during that time was successful. Mrs Bonner. We had a talk before the school year started and surprisingly she listened to my advice and she followed her Christian faith, maintained discipline in her classroom but with a loving manner, made good relationships with her students, and at the end of the year she was the only teacher who every student in her class received at least 1 academic award, most received 2-5 awards. Mrs Brown's students, zero awards, the rest of the teachers who hated God, only had 1-4 students receive 1 reward each. Mrs Bonner was a shinning light in the midst of all the darkness in that school. The school principle hated me. He danced through the hallways one day wearing pink leotards, a pink tutu, riding a pink stick pony, waving a plastic pink sword telling the students who were standing in line "you can't talk in line in my kingdom." When I was told about it and asked if that was right, I was shocked and said "sounds queer to me." That went through the school and they attacked me vehemently. Well queer means "very odd, very unusual, way out of the norm" and if you don't think his action met that definition, please stay away from me. As I've said for years, an education without God is not only worthless, it turns to evil, and education with God produces good fruit.
This correctly and accurately describes exactly why both The NEA and the Department of Education need to be eliminated. The NEA is basically a socialist bank used to funnel money to anti-American causes, publishers, individuals and politicians who espouse woke radical action and anti-Christian, atheistic ideology. They are hell-bent on removing morality from learning so that "anything goes" becomes acceptable with no accountability.
