According to the American Parents Coalition (APC), teachers unions, particularly the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA), are shaping schools into avenues for leftist activism starting as early as Kindergarten. The APC's report highlights various strategies, including significant financial investments in training students and teachers for protests, with nearly $2 million allocated for such initiatives. Notably, the Chicago Teachers Union has circulated curricula that describes former President Donald Trump as a 'fascist.' Additionally, the NEA and AFT are involved in legal actions aimed at limiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to schools. Oregon’s 2024 Social Science Standards further promote discussions on race and injustice among young students. APC Executive Director Alleigh Marré urges parents to actively engage in their children's education to ensure a focus on academic learning rather than political agendas. She emphasizes the importance of transparency and parental involvement to reclaim control over educational content.
