Radical teachers union spends $1.7 million to promote student anti-ICE walkouts from class | Eastern NC Now

The radical national teachers union National Education Association (NEA) is putting its money where its mouth is on promoting student walkouts against immigration law enforcement.  The NEA had previously been caught sending out communications urging their members to encourage student walkouts from class in opposition to ICE.  Their Florida unit actually held a press conference defending and promoting these demonstrations that disrupt the school day and the education of students.  T

The NEA clearly prioritizes extreme left politics over the actual education of students.  These protests mean students are out of class.

Now the NEA has dug itself in deeper.  It has now been caught spending $1.7 million on training and materials to promote student demonstrations against immigration law enforcement.

And to further emphasize the radicalism of too many in our education establishment, in California, a student posted a flyer with "I (heart) ICE - Real American" after one of the anti-ICE student walkouts.  That student got suspended.  The students who walked out did not.  So playing hookey for far left political purposes is condoned while freedom of speech is not.

North Carolina's teachers union, the NC Association of Educators (NCAE) is affiliated with the NEA.  We have had at least one anti-ICE student walkout in our state.
