FROM NY POST: The two largest teacher unions in America gave more than $43.5 million to liberal advocacy groups since 2022 — including several massive payouts to Democratic political action committees (PACs) during the 2024 election cycle, according to a new report from a conservative education watchdog group.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) shelled out $43,524,123 between mid-2022 and mid-2024, per a Defending Education report based largely on union disclosures to the Department of Labor.
The cash windfall went to lefty groups that back gun control measures, support racial “equity” and gender transitions for minors as well as abortion access.
Sarah Parshall Perry, vice president and legal fellow at Defending Education, blasted the funding decision.
The audit “sheds much needed light on exactly what the NEA and the AFT prioritize — and it isn’t America’s schoolkids,” Perry said in a statement.
“Teachers unions don’t educate kids,” she added. “They seemingly exist for no other reason than to spend money, complain about parental involvement in their children’s education, and advance left-wing causes wholly unrelated to improving educational outcomes in American schools.”
