The two largest national teachers’ unions have donated tens of millions of dollars to radical left-wing organizations in just the past three years.

Defending Ed, an education watchdog, compiled a list of National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) donations between 2022 and 2024.

Between the two unions, over $43 million poured into progressive activism. 

“It is clear that the teachers’ unions’ priorities are advancing far-left politics and radical social justice issues, not the education of children,” Defending Ed Researcher Rhyen Staley told Fox News. 

“This is a slap in the face to families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve their reading and math skills.”
