Dear John,
This is a win for students and educators.
We were concerned when delegates to the NEA teachers union voted to boycott ADL educational content, including widely respected Holocaust education, antisemitism and anti-bias lessons and resources that make a real difference in the classroom.
Last night, the NEA leadership righted a wrong.

We welcome the decision by the NEA Executive Committee and Board of Directors to reject this misguided resolution from a group of radical activists who sought to boycott ADL’s educational materials on antisemitism and the Holocaust.
With your help, we did everything we could to stop this resolution. It was not just an attack on ADL, but a larger attack against Jewish educators, students and families. ADL supporters sent hundreds of thousands of emails to NEA leaders. We are grateful for the leadership shown by the members of the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus and teachers across the country, whose words and stories serve as both a reminder and warning of why our work is so important. We thank the nearly 400 Jewish and community organizations and dozens of elected officials around the country who made clear their concerns about this dangerous and antisemitic resolution.
Now we urge NEA leadership to share widely that this measure has been rejected and make clear that this approach is harmful to educators, students and families concerned about the rise of antisemitism and hate in our schools and communities.
This divisive campaign has already damaged students’ ability to receive anti-bias and Holocaust education. Campaigns have been launched to follow suit and boycott ADL and Jewish Federations from schools in New Jersey and Illinois, and we anticipate others could follow. We are committed to working with the NEA to make clear that these hateful campaigns cannot succeed and redouble efforts to ensure that Jewish educators are not isolated and subjected to antisemitism in their unions and that students are not subjected to it in the classroom.
Thank you for all you do as part of the ADL community to speak out about antisemitism and hate — in classrooms, in neighborhoods and online.
We will forge ahead together,
Jonathan Greenblatt
CEO and National Director
ADL
P.S. We did it! Now please join ADL in thanking the thousands of teachers who advocated for Jewish students and for anti-hate resources. Their courage and commitment to protecting all students from hate made our schools safer and stronger for everyone.
