NAVI works to restore North American values in K-12 classrooms, opposing radical ideologies, antisemitism and anti-American & anti-Western activism in education

[NAVI @NAVIvalues]

As the United States marks its 250th year, educators are being encouraged by a national organization tied to the country’s largest teachers’ unions to teach the nation’s founding through an ideological lens that casts its founding documents and principles as inherently oppressive.

This is not an isolated curriculum debate. It raises serious questions about the organizations influencing teacher training, shaping classroom materials, and reaching students nationwide.

Parents deserve to know who is shaping their children’s education—and what they are being taught.

[Senator Dave McCormick @SenMcCormickPA]

Every student deserves a safe classroom, free from antisemitism.

An @EdWorkforceCmte investigation uncovered antisemitic materials in schools nationwide, including Philadelphia.

Thank you to @NAVIvalues for helping to expose this.

11 allegations. All 11 substantiated. Accountability in action.

At Canoga Park High School, the Los Angeles Unified School District substantiated all 11 allegations of teacher misconduct involving anti-Israel political activism in classrooms and school activities.

The district ordered corrective action, including teacher training, removal of biased materials, and curriculum changes.

This is what accountability looks like. And it shows what’s possible when documented evidence meets sustained advocacy.

NAVI exposes misconduct, mobilizes partners, and turns findings into meaningful change. Now, this case can serve as a model for schools nationwide.

Classrooms should be places of learning—not platforms for political indoctrination.

A landmark accountability win for Jewish—and non-Jewish students alike—and a model for schools nationwide.

NAVI brought a comprehensive complaint to Los Angeles schools—with detailed evidence of how teachers pushed their own political agendas in the classroom. The district then investigated and substantiated all 11 allegations of unlawful political advocacy by teachers at Canoga Park High School.

The district found that teachers violated both federal and state civil rights laws when they misused their classrooms and school activities, and directed and managed student clubs to advance a one-sided and biased political agenda about Israel.

The district ordered the school to take corrective action, including mandatory teacher training on keeping politics out of the classroom and preventing antisemitism, removing biased materials, and changing affected curriculum.

NAVI helped make this happen. We exposed the conduct, documented it publicly, and worked with partners to obtain records and file the complaint to prompt the investigation.

We also want to recognize LAUSD for conducting a thorough investigation and taking action. Public schools can—and should—be partners in upholding civil rights and ensuring students can learn free from political coercion.

Now comes the next step: turning these findings into stronger policies that prevent partisan political advocacy from taking over the classroom—and using those policies to drive lasting accountability.

This is NAVI’s model in action: map the problem, mobilize partners, disrupt harmful activity, and transform findings into lasting policy change.

Pittsburgh Public Schools says its ethnic studies curriculum teaches students to think critically and consider multiple perspectives. But the materials themselves raise a different question: Are students being encouraged to challenge ideas—or taught to see history through a particular ideological lens?

Comparing Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto and framing antisemitism as a mechanism of racial oppression and power are not neutral choices. They shape how students understand Jewish history, antisemitism, and the world around them.

The district points to lessons on Jewish history and the Tree of Life attack. Those are important, but they don’t resolve concerns about the broader curriculum.
What schools promise to teach matters. What students are actually taught matters more.

NAVI’s primer explains the concerns parents should understand about ethnic studies.

[NAVI @NAVIvalues]

Two years of investigation. A documented record. Action at the federal level.

NAVI’s investigation into Philadelphia’s public schools has gone beyond exposing serious concerns. It brought evidence to lawmakers, prompted federal scrutiny, and helped put antisemitism, educator misconduct, and curriculum concerns on the record.

Because when the institutions entrusted with educating our children fail to protect them, documenting the problem is only the beginning. Accountability must follow.

“High schoolers are being led into a dangerous, violent ideology by groups associated with terrorist organizations.” - NAVI Director of Research @MikaHackner

🚨 We uncovered a secret summer camp where American teens wave Hezbollah flags and study global terror tactics.

Are you aware of what your child’s school is allowing on October 7th? High school students in multiple states are planning coordinated walkouts backed by Revolutionary Youth.

This youth group is part of the Anti-Imperialist Front-USA, a coalition advocating for violent revolution, and collaborates with groups tied to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – a U.S.-designated terror organization.

Is your child’s school on their list? Find out at the NAVI K-12 Extremism Tracker: https://t.co/xeTxjmsL46

Revolutionary Youth chapters are springing up in high schools across the country and planning a mass walkout "for Palestine" on October 7.

Revolutionary Youth is affiliated with the Anti-Imperialist Front-USA, a "Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Communist Party."

AIF-USA has held an "anti-imperialist" summer camp for Revolutionary Youth members. AIF-USA says it members must learn from Hezbollah and praises October 7.

Revolutionary Youth has coordinated actions and held meetings with groups identified as part of the PFLP-linked network in the United States.

Our Chief Program Officer, Dana Stangel-Plowe lays out why NAVI is asking the University of Pennsylvania to address the substance of its “Teaching Beyond September 11th” curriculum.

We believe students deserve historically rigorous, factually complete educational materials—particularly when those materials carry the name and authority of a major university.

25 years later, what are children learning about 9/11?

Two weeks ago, I wrote in @CityJournal about Penn's “Teaching Beyond September 11th” curriculum — a resource that omits key facts about the attacks, says nothing about al-Qaeda’s ideology that motivated the attacks, presents contested political claims as settled fact, and repeatedly steers students toward activism.

Taxpayer-funded teacher training shouldn’t come with an ideological script.

Yet Chicago teachers are being paid to participate in a workshop series that presents a deeply distorted view of Zionism—and they’re being asked how they’ll bring these ideas into their K–12 classrooms.

This isn’t just a teachers’ union event. Public institutions are helping legitimize and credential it.

We dug into the curriculum, facilitators, speakers, and classroom components.

I should have guessed @NAVIvalues would sneak into Socialism 2026 too! 🥷

Fantastic piece from my favorite Substack. I’m especially glad they made it to Kobi Guillory’s panel, featuring the CTU teacher and FRSO member just days after his arrest.

[Mika Hackner @MikaHackner]

NAVI was at the 2026 Socialism Conference.

What we heard: A Chicago Teachers Union leader on the need for "revolutionary violence," Palestinian "resistance" in Pre-K, and "anti-racist" Holocaust education.

NAVI’s investigation prompted today’s NYPost expose on the failures in 9/11 curriculum for K-12 students.

In one glaring example, curriculum developed at UPenn “erases the victims of 9/11, erases the causes of 9/11 and instead uses the terrorist attack and its aftermath as a convenient vehicle to push a political agenda and activism onto children.” This curriculum is promoted by public schools in NYC, where the attacks killed nearly 3000 innocent people.
