> The US House Committee on Education and the Workforce is investigating antisemitism in the National Education Association, a leading teacher union, representing more than three million public school educators and administrators.
>
> The committee has put heavy pressure on universities for alleged antisemitism since the start of the war in Gaza.
>
> In a letter to the president of the union, US Rep. Tim Walberg, a Michigan Republican, cites the union’s vote to ban materials by the Anti-Defamation League and alleged antisemitism in the union’s 2025 handbook.
>
> In one example, the union’s handbook says the group will mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day by “recognizing more than 12 million victims of the Holocaust,” without mentioning Jews.

> The largest American Teachers Union just REJECTED the will of their members by refusing to ban on the ADL for supporting genocide
>
> Over 400 Jewish groups put pressure on the union to reject the member approved proposal to stop using the ADL as a legit source
>
> Even American Unions are captured by Zionists. This is insanity
