Watchdog Report Says Teachers Unions Sent More Than $1 Billion Into Left-Wing Political Machine

Teachers who thought union dues were mainly going toward salaries, benefits and classroom conditions may want to look at this one.

A new pair of reports from Defending Education says the nation’s teachers unions and their state and local affiliates have pushed more than $1 billion into political causes, advocacy groups, PACs and campaigns over the last decade.

That is not a rounding error. That is a political machine.

The watchdog report focuses on the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and a network of affiliate groups that collect money from educators and then move massive sums into progressive political infrastructure.
