We can’t abolish America's largest teachers union. But Congress can do something else

Congressional Republicans propose reforming the National Education Association with new legislation to limit the teachers union's partisan advocacy and subsidies.

Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican, represents Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District.

The NEA is "the ideological and institutional vanguard of progressive politics," a "powerful wing of the Democratic Party," and intent on "invading" public schools with "progressive politics."

But instead of abandoning its partisan special interests and returning to its early mission of "[promoting] the cause of education in the United States," the NEA emerged from the pandemic determined to double down on every one of its harmful, misguided beliefs and ideologies.
