Congress Threatens to Defund Liberal Education Union
July 24, 2025
“From branding President Trump a fascist to embracing divisive gender ideology and walking away from efforts to fight antisemitism, the NEA has become nothing more than a partisan advocacy group.” So said Representative Mark Harris (R-NC) when he introduced a bill with Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to revoke the congressional charter of the National Education Association (NEA). The National Education Association Charter Repeal Act (H.R. 4450/S. 2310) would put an end to the fallacy that the NEA is an entity that fulfills a national need. The original charter from 1906 states the NEA’s mission is to elevate “the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching and promoting the cause of education in the United States.” But no longer. “It’s incredibly sad that the nation‘s largest teachers union has put woke politics before America's children,” said Senator Blackburn.
