Teachers Union Resolves To Call Trump ‘Fascist,’ Support Student Protests Over ICE Raids

The largest teachers union in the United States has demanded that $3500 be set aside so that it can officially refer to President Donald Trump and his “programs and actions” as “fascist.”

Members of the National Education Association, during its annual convention, adopted a resolution that would have the group put up the cash so that all official NEA materials would “correctly characterize” the agenda of the Trump administration as “fascist.”

Cory DeAngelis shared several of the resolutions that were adopted by the NEA, saying in a Monday X post, “I just received a copy of the National Education Association’s resolutions that they passed at their annual convention. They kept them private this year.”

“The nation’s largest teachers union adopted a business item ‘to defend against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions,'” he added.

Just below that, under the heading of “Cost Implications,” the union asserted that it would cost $3500 for materials to be printed reflecting that change.

Other resolutions included one “to oppose any move to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education as an illegal, anti-democratic, and racist attempt to destroy public education and privatize it in the interests of the billionaires”; another that said the NEA would “defend birthright citizenship and oppose the attempt to revert to pre-civil rights movement – Jim Crow – legal concepts of ‘states rights’ in order to deny citizenship to the children of immigrants”; and one that said the NEA would support students “dissenting and organizing against Trump’s policies,” specifically with regard to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities.

The price tags on those resolutions were $2000, $34,500, and $32,500, respectively.
