In 2021, the two largest teachers’ unions in the country collected over half a billion dollars from their members, and almost all of their political spending went to leftist causes.
While 57 percent of teachers are either Republican or independent, nearly 100 percent of political spending from the $575 million in dues to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) was funneled into far-left politics.
A review of Department of Labor documents by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) revealed a trend over the past two decades, with the majority of union spending switching from standard union spending on representation (e.g. collective bargaining, school funding, and professional development) to political campaigns and lobbying.
GAI’s data shows the spending disparity between “representational activities” and “political activities and lobbying,” saying the amount “was not close.”
In 2021, the NEA spent $66 million on pushing a far-left political agenda, while spending only $32 million on its members.
Alot should be going to Prison then !!!!
Lock them up !!
Democrats Funneled Trillions from those Pork Bills they passed to THEIR secret wants > like their Party !!!!!
Soros gives millions to Democrats too !!!!! Nice how Elections are BOUGHT TODAY !!!!!
More reason to get involved with your kid’s PTA and show up to school board meetings!!!! The teachers do not give a rat’s fanny about teaching your children the basics. They are liberal conformists that will refuse to stand up to the unions (yes Wicomico county) in order to keep their jobs that we now have to pay for.
And parents, if you don’t get involved, vet the ones that are running for school boards and really pay attention to who is pushing CRT, wokeism, the alphabet gang and allowing boys into the girl’s bathrooms then you will get what you refused to do anything about! Unfortunately, you will bring all the other children down too. Not everyone can pull their kids from public school. Shouldn’t have to – just clean up the trash that is there.

FYI – teachers, regardless of their party affiliation, have zero say so on who/whom are supported or endorsed by either the NEA or the AFT. The unions’ senior leadership makes those sorts of decisions. Also, there are many teachers who have left the “union” just for this reason, so let’s not lump them all into the same category.
