Republish this article (July 1, 2021 / JNS) At its annual conference this week, the National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest teachers union, will debate and decide on whether to adopt two resolutions—one boycotting Israel and another to recognize Palestinian statehood.
The multi-day conference that began Wednesday will consider calling on the United States to cut material support and funding to Israel and promote Palestinian causes through a range of programs at a total cost of $71,500, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Among the over 30 proposals that will be debated during the conference, is an item to publicize the union’s support for the Palestinian Authority.
The item, according to the Beacon, was endorsed by 50 members of the association and states, “The Arab population of Palestine has again risen up in a heroic struggle against military repression and ‘ethnic cleansing’ by the Israeli state and extreme nationalist forces in Israeli society,” the item description stated. “The NEA’s support of this struggle will weaken reaction internationally.”
Another item, New Business Item 51, calls on the union to recognize the Palestinians as a sovereign, stating that Palestinian families and children have a human right to access quality education and live freely as outlined in the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights.
Other teachers unions throughout the country have recently criticized Israel, with the second biggest teachers’ union, the American Federation of Teachers, passing statements in June condemning Israel as an apartheid state, with the Federation’s president, Randi Weingarten, saying in an interview earlier this year that Jews were “part of the ownership class” dedicated to denying opportunities to others.”
What does any of this have to do with schools?
Let’s take a wild guess on the outcome of this pending vote...
They can mount that condemnation right next to the decision to support CRT.
Damn.... screw the teacher.... the principals do
No sarcasm needed. Just lay the question out there. Truth and Justice is best served cold and let’s see who blinks first.

I think we need to boycott these propaganda centers and stop paying our taxes. They’re using our money for propaganda that affects the “Church” by the state.
That was my question as well. Who the hell do these people think they are?
Too bad they don’t have the time to address, oh I don’t know, maybe their failing schools?
Nothing. They don't teach anymore...they indoctornate kids and promote radical left ideals such as CRT.
Get your kids away from these unionized teachers.
Our tax money is paying for this garbage.
They also voted in favor of promoting Critical Race Theory.
In California and other Dem states they kept schools closed for the entire 2020-21 school year.
These hateful lunatics are living proof of why public employee unions should be banned by law.
What does this have to do with children’s education?
Teachers unions are run by communists.
Proof they are simply leftist agitators and no more.
We should boycott the NEA and AFT!
They need to be barred from access to children and schools!
Considering that these groups were largely founded by Jews, to protect, among others, the many Jews who used to be public school teachers, it is nauseating to see what they have become. They are now unabashedly commie advocating groups.
Biden will have to get them all fired, he just promised complete support for Israel and prostrated himself to seal the deal.
“America’s largest teachers union to vote on boycott of Israel, Palestinian statehood”
Maybe it’s tine for teachers to cancel teachers unions!
Again, a reminder that teachers’ unions do not represent all teachers across the nation. You can check with your local public school district to see if they have infested yours and then act accordingly.
That said, what business of the teachers union is Israel and Palestine? They have a business—teaching American kids and by many accounts they’re not doing all that good a job of it.
As do some of the students based on what I read.
