The nation's largest teachers union approved a $127k measure to publicize information on CRT

They also approved a $56k measure to conduct opposition research on CRT opponents

But they failed to pass this measure to "make student learning the priority of the Association" in 2019

DEFEATED:

"The [NEA] will re-dedicate itself to the pursuit of increased student learning in every public school in America by putting a renewed emphasis on quality education. NEA will make student learning the priority of the Association."

fund students, not systems.

This is the main problem with K-12 education in America:

A massive power imbalance between the teachers union monopoly and individual families

It's time to fund students directly and empower families.
