A must listen ⬇️

[The Free Press @TheFP]

@FrannieBlock asks: Are American teachers’ unions really just political machines?

A new report out today accuses both the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association of spending tens of millions of dollars on electing Democratic political candidates, and prioritizing politicking over the needs of their union members.

The report found that of the NEA’s $450 million annual disbursement budget from fiscal year 2025, less than $46 million, or 10 percent, was spent on activities directly representing the union’s constituents.

“You read a stat like that,” said Tova Plaut, a New York City teacher and a member of both the NEA and AFT, “and you start to wonder, Where is all that money going?”

The NEA did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

"Modern schooling is systematically terrible at forming well-adjusted, curious, intellectually creative, entrepreneurial adults.

Schools, even much better schools, cannot solve this.

Here's the truth: Nobody loves your kids as much as you do."

- @BenSasse at the 2026 Alexander Hamilton Awards

[Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVos]

Jeff is absolutely right - put parents in charge!

@Delta, on flight waiting to leave LEX on Dl5050 to LGA. Flight crew was late. Arrived after boarding. First flight, coming from hotel. This has happened many times flying to LGA. Why? Customers get up early, arrive early and the wait for the flight crew to arrive late. No excuse.

“The ESA program is already changing lives, mine, my siblings’, and countless others across Iowa. It is expanding access, empowering families, and making it possible for more students to reach their full potential.”

This is why school choice matters! ⬇️

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

It is indefensible that organizations claiming to care about students have reportedly directed over $1 billion to liberal pet projects while student outcomes continue to lag.

Yet another case study in why education should answer to students and families in the states.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

A big, beautiful tax credit is coming your way next year!

Contribute to a Scholarship Granting Organization to support school choice, and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,700.

[Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVos]

Either Gov. Whitmer needs to do the right thing, or Michigan needs a new governor who will put kids first!

[Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVos]

20,000 students in West Virginia will have a brighter future, thanks to education freedom!

Happy Easter!

[Cardinal Dolan @CardinalDolan]

I can remember as a child during the hours from Noon to 3 PM on Good Friday, there would be an aura of silence, reverence, and penance. Even if we are not able to get to the sacred liturgy at that time, we still try to keep some awe during the “Tre Ore,” those three hours. @thegnewsroom

[Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVos]

Everything is bigger in Texas, now including education freedom! Nearly 275k students will benefit from choosing a new learning option that used to be out of reach for them and their families.

.@EDSecMcMahon on the Education Freedom Tax Credit: This absolutely is a win-win. Private citizens can donate money into these scholarship-granting organizations, which can then award scholarships to parents who want to move their child out of failing schools.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

.@POTUS’ Education Freedom Tax Credit is a pathway to opportunities for Michigan families who want the best education for their children, regardless of their ZIP code.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Every child in Michigan deserves education that fits their unique needs—regardless of their zip code.

It’s time to put students first and expand opportunity.

@GovWhitmer,  let’s empower families by opting in to the Education Freedom Tax Credit!

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Michiganders have a unique opportunity to access education freedom, but Gov. Whitmer refuses to act!

@RepWalberg and I are calling on her to support @POTUS' Education Freedom Tax Credit, and give MI parents the power to choose the best educational options for their children!
