The National Education Association (NEA) has spent years lecturing America on education and politics but maybe it’s time they cracked open a dictionary and educated themselves on how to spell.
At their July convention, the NEA dropped a resolution pledging $3,500 more to “defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism (sic) in NEA materials…”
The nation’s largest teachers union adopted a business item “to defend against Trump’s embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions.” pic.twitter.com/xNdksH3nQZ [1]

So much for educational leadership. The union, supposedly in charge of public school policy, can’t even spell a simple, well-known word (ironically, one of their favorites) and they seem blissfully unaware of spell-check as well.
According to the New York Post [3], this mistake brought on all kinds of ridicule (as it should) to the NEA.
NEA can’t spell Fascism but wants to call other people fascists! No sense of irony! pic.twitter.com/oRLTtcDvGO [4]

If the largest teachers union can’t define fascism properly we can all understand clearly why we are failing to teach children in schools.
Number one priority is not to teach reading and math but a political agenda. It’s infuriating. https://t.co/ey4Ga8iU7u [6]— Tina Descovich 🇺🇸 (@TinaDescovich) July 8, 2025 [7]
The fact that the NEA can’t even spell the word “fascism” is a symptom of the real problem: they are in no way attempting to improve the state of education in America. They are simply a front for the Marxist Leninist left. https://t.co/7hKkc79QCh [8]

So what’s the real lesson here, kids? If the people running your education system can’t spell and don’t care to learn, maybe they shouldn’t be setting any rules for how learning happens.
But that’s what they do. They set stupid rules for the country’s children that align with the Democratic Party’s agenda. They spend their time funding Democratic political campaigns, fighting against the elimination of the Department of Education, supporting the anti-Trump “No King” movement, pushing their LGBTQ agenda on elementary school kids and focus on all of their other leftist goals, while giving little to no attention to whether the kids of America can read, write or do arithmetic – or whether they can either.
