Alec Schemmel Washington Free Beacon – As student achievement scores hit historic lows this summer, the nation’s largest teachers’ unions prepared for the upcoming school year by lecturing members on court packing, climate change, and other liberal policy priorities.
During its July national conference, the National Education Association unveiled a slew of “new business items,” which included calls for President Joe Biden to “expand the Supreme Court to restore American democracy” and extend “asylum to all” illegal migrants. Weeks later, the American Federation of Teachers held its own summer gathering, which saw union leaders attend training sessionscentered on “integrating climate change into your teaching” and “affirming LGBTQIA+ identities in and out of the classroom.” NEA president Becky Pringle, meanwhile, used her conference keynote speech to “call out every politician and every pundit who refuses to address gun violence” and argue that America is structurally inequitable.

Government teacher unions use their money and power to buy off political influence, but with your help we will end it. Sign the petition below.
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.
