The Institute for Education Reform Supports H.R. 174, “No Federal Funding for Teacher’s Unions Act”

The Institute for Education Reform announces its support for H.R. 174, a bill introduced in the House titled “No Federal Funding for Teacher’s Unions Act.” The proposed legislation, introduced on January 9, 2023, aims to prohibit labor organizations of education professionals from receiving federal funds.

“We believe that taxpayer money should be directed towards improving the quality of education for our students, not funding teachers’ unions,” said a spokesperson for IER. “This legislation aligns with our mission to prioritize student success over political agendas.”

The introduction of H.R. 174 represents a significant stride towards ensuring that federal funds are used to directly benefit students and their education. It underscores the need for accountability and transparency in the allocation of federal resources in the education sector.

At the Insitute for Education Reform, we champion an education system that respects the rights of teachers and prioritizes the needs of students. We believe in fostering a culture of informed decision-making and stand behind initiatives like H.R. 174 that promote these values.

We invite you to join us as we continue to advocate for an education system that upholds the interests of all stakeholders and fosters a culture of respect, transparency, and accountability.

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.
