🧵A 2024 survey of more than 3,000 middle- and high-school history teachers across nine states found that over 1 in 4 now use “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn as standard classroom material.
A book notorious for presenting a deeply flawed and ideological retelling of American history is now shaping curriculum across the country.
And who helped push it into classrooms? You guessed it: the teachers’ unions...(1/5)@Rstorechildhood
The American Federation of Teachers blew $1.4 MILLION in hard-earned member dues to research, ghostwrite, fact-check, photograph, legally review, and promote her political manifesto "Why Fascists Fear Teachers".
The receipts are ugly:
• $400k to left-wing activist Sally Kohn as a “day-to-day thought partner”
• Nearly $1 million to a New York law firm (which the AFT called “pro bono”)
• $64k to a literary agency + more for fact-checking and her author photo
😏An educator asked me if I had a recommendation for an alternative to the woke teachers unions. You bet I do!
In Texas, @ITTexasOfficial
In Texas and across the nation, @Freedom4Teachrs
Teachers, you don't have to give your money away to the crazy people who lobby against your values.
Praise God. A major victory for children.
Texas Children’s Hospital has agreed to end “gender transition” procedures on minors, instead opening a clinic dedicated to helping those seeking to detransition.
Focus on the Family President @DalyFocus called it “a great victory for children’s rights and common sense.”
He’s right.
Children are not experiments. Biology is not bigotry. Truth is not hate.
We’re grateful for voices like @ThemBeforeUs and @Katy_Faust , who continue to insist on a simple but desperately needed principle:
Children come first.
This is a victory for truth, for families, and for every child who deserves adults willing to protect them.
Praise God. Keep praying. Keep speaking. Keep standing.
I feel like this video should get wide dissemination so regular Americans can understand just how 🦇💩 crazy our law schools (and the legal profession more broadly) actually are.
The dude on the right is Samuel Moyn, a respected, tenured professor at Yale Law School.
Watch this short video please.
One of the tenets of most forms of totalitarianism, including Marxism and Naziism, is to destroy the family as the basic building block of society and replace it with the State.
Moyn is suggesting that parents should not have the right to speak for their children, and that third parties--presumably those chosen by a government led by evildoing "experts" like Moyn--should speak on behalf of those children instead.
This is not a new idea. Hitler embraced this idea. Stalin embraced this idea. Mao embraced this idea.
Yet this is a respected professor at what is generally considered the premier law school in the USA.
We have a deep and troubling problem in America's legal profession, and we must find ways to reduce the power and influence of lawyers generally.
I say this as a lawyer myself.
Fauci said 15 days.
It was 2 years.
The media called parents "conspiracy theorists" for demanding open schools.
Dozens of interviews. Three years of filming. One documentary.
15 DAYS is streaming NOW.
RT if you want accountability.
The Freedom Foundation's investigation into the American Federation of Teachers has now evolved into two separate investigations, and in this episode @realsienarose breaks down what it means, how we got here, and why Randi Weingarten's response raises even more questions about her leadership qualifications and abilities.
Siena also examines a new Defending Education report alleging that the nation's largest teachers' unions are pushing to embed DEI ideology into AI tools used in classrooms.
This is a joke, but in a much more real sense it is not a joke.
Far-leftists are as willing to sing a parody ICE-out song, as they are to put themselves in harm's way to inhibit the work of federal agents.
Is this the gateway drug of leftism?
My job isn’t done until education is RETURNED to the states and local leaders — not Washington — decide how federal dollars are spent.
That’s how we MAKE EDUCATION GREAT AGAIN.
This leftist woman is okay with rapists committing crimes and them immediately being let out onto the streets because she "doesn't know what prison would do for them."
This is why socialism and communism are dangerous: they are schools of thought that advocate for more government power and zero consequences. I can't belief that the leftist, believe-all-women, side of culture has come to this.
@nickshirleyy
This article from a socialist website is beyond dystopian. They are mad that the AFT and NEA are not doing enough to radially mobilize their members because they think that is the reason why education is failing.
Has any socialist considered that to fix education, we should not be telling teachers to do everything BUT teach?
Follow for more videos diving into the teachers' unions and the socialist party.
When a super far-left organization is NOT RADICAL ENOUGH for the DSA to support, that is the biggest reason to designate the DSA as an immoral and false organization that is a danger to America.
Democratic Socialists of America leaders are openly urging young socialists to become teachers, join the unions, and build a so-called "militant minority” to turn school kids into communist foot-soldiers.
They call it salting: getting hired, then organizing from within. Once inside, that network turns union power into political muscle.
New by @realsienarose and Nilesh Umapathy:
There’s a new red lesson plan making its way into American education—and it starts with a strategy to move socialists into classrooms, teachers’ unions, and with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the education system itself.
Read the full op-ed in @RedState to see how the pipeline works.

Being pro-union does NOT mean being pro-worker.
If that were the case, unions wouldn't spend their members' money on things that actively harm the very workers they claim to represent.
