Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson Introduces Bill to Cut Federal Funding of Teachers’ Unions

In a significant move towards education reform, Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson has introduced the No Federal Funding for Teachers’ Unions Act. This groundbreaking legislation seeks to prohibit the federal government from financially supporting teachers’ unions, which Jackson alleges have repeatedly betrayed the interests of students.

“Teachers’ unions have sold out our kids when they lined Democrat politicians’ pockets with campaign contributions to keep students out of the classroom, and later to force masking, despite clear evidence that these decisions were harmful to kids’ educational and developmental growth,” said Jackson. He further criticized the unions for pushing a “radical and inappropriate curriculum” that he believes seeks to indoctrinate students with a ‘woke’, racist, and anti-American worldview.

Jackson’s bill comes amid growing concerns about the influence of teachers’ unions on educational policy and curriculum. It also follows recent claims that these unions pressed the Biden Administration to investigate parents who voice disagreement with their decisions as domestic terrorists.

At the Institute for Education Reform, we believe in the importance of a balanced education. We advocate for a shift back to basics, prioritizing traditional academic disciplines over divisive ideologies. Our mission is to restore parents’ voices in the education of their children and to resist the advancement of radical agendas in our schools.

We invite you to join us in this mission to reform education, ensuring a brighter future for our students and our nation.

IER Dedicates Efforts to Ending the Attacks by Government Teacher Unions against Teachers, Parents and Families

Government unions should not exist. Public service should focus on serving the public good and those that enter it should be in the business of serving. Government jobs were never meant to hold the public – its families, children, and society hostage.

At Institute for Education Reform, we dedicate our efforts to once again put every child, parent, and American first in the mission of public service and not let them be forgotten. Americans should get an accountable and manageable government workforce, not one that teaches kids how to hate themselves while bankrupting our government to ensure they are never fired for bad work.

Our President, Matt Buckham, recently handled personnel for President Donald Trump where he oversaw cabinet level departments, including Department of Labor, and other independent agencies. In this role, Matt pushed to place leaders throughout government and coordinate the recapture of Executive Branch agencies that were under career and opposition control. Matt was one of the first staffers for the House Freedom Caucus, helping them navigate their first year as a group. Matt has served on Capitol Hill for over 11 years in various 501c3, government, and Executive Branch roles. He is a follower of Jesus Christ called to bring freedom to the captives.

The institute strives for the outright banning of all public sector employee collective bargaining and thus the ensuing collection of compulsory dues that warp the fabric of government by shutting out taxpayers from decision-making.
