NEA Hit With Antisemitism Lawsuit While Its $403M Machine Keeps Funding the Politics of Hate

If you’re wondering why antisemitism is exploding on school campuses, you don’t have to look far. Start with the people shaping the culture of American education, including the nation’s largest teachers’ union, and the picture gets a lot clearer, fast.

This week, the National Education Association, the biggest teachers union in America, was hit with a federal EEOC complaint describing behavior you’d expect from an online hate forum, not a professional educators’ conference. According to the filing, activists inside the NEA laughed and clapped when a Jewish member mentioned an 82‑year‑old Jewish woman murdered in a terror attack. That’s not “spirited debate.” That’s cruelty.

The complaint also describes delegates physically crowding Jewish educators, shouting them down, and creating an atmosphere where Jewish members “reasonably feared retaliation and physical harm.” Security had to step in, at a teachers’ union meeting!

And while all this was happening, NEA leadership allegedly sidelined the Jewish Affairs Caucus and elevated the very activists accused of intimidation. If that’s the tone set at the top, is it any surprise the rot trickles down into classrooms?

We keep asking why antisemitism is rising among students. Maybe the better question is: What happens when the adults in charge model hostility, excuse harassment, and are openly anti-semitic? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Kids learn from the examples set by the grown‑ups. And right now, some of the grown‑ups running public education are setting a terrible one and just for the record, the NEA takes in over 400 million a year in MANDATORY "donations" from teachers and uses it to fund it's Democrat political machine, but that's a story for another day.
