Top teachers union under fire as lawmakers push to strip union of unique federal charter: 'Lost their way'
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
With the National Education Association being thrust into the spotlight after increasing its public opposition against the Trump administration and having been accused of financially backing far-left agenda items, two Republicans are taking steps to revoke its federal charter.
The National Education Association holds a rare distinction in Washington, D.C., as the only labor union granted a federal charter, a status it received from Congress in 1906, and critics have argued that the functions of the NEA then and now are much different.
Republican Reps. Buddy Carter and Mary Miller have been vocal critics of the NEA in recent years and are calling for that charter to be revoked, a move that Carter tells Fox News Digital would be "significant" and "carries with it a lot of clout."
"Let's face it, the NEA is nothing more than a liberal political organization masquerading as a teachers union," Carter added. "Remember in 1906, Congress gave them this charter to elevate the profession. They're not elevating the profession right now."

"Calling President Trump's policies fascism, calling for allowing biological men to participate and grow sports, going against the Anti-Defamation League, which is trying to stamp out anti-Semitism. All the policies that they're enacting, 98% of their donations are going to Democrats now, and the liberal Democrats. And then, of course, what they've done in Minneapolis and in Minnesota — all of those actions lead us to believe that they should be, that their charter should be pulled."
Fox News Digital has extensively reported on criticisms of the NEA in recent months, including in November when a federal labor filing showed the organization sent millions to far-left causes. Last month, an NEA whistleblower told Fox News Digital the organization operates like a "cult" and views conservatives as the "enemy."

"They’ve lost their way. They are not about educating the kids," Miller told Fox News Digital. "This is a social engineering program. That’s what the NEA has become."
