A group of congressional Republicans proposed the National Education Association Charter Repeal Act to revoke the federal charter of the NEA, which opposes the Trump administration’s agenda. Accusations included the NEA's ties to the Anti-Defamation League and its pledge to oppose Trump's fascism embrace. Rep. Mark Harris and Sen. Marsha Blackburn led the charge, criticizing the union for radical left policies. Union President Becky Pringle countered these accusations, emphasizing a focus on supporting students and educators instead of political agendas.
The bill, titled the National Education Association Charter Repeal Act, was introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Mark Harris and in the Senate by Sen. Marsha Blackburn.
