Here’s an idea: teach kids to be literate, not activists. @MrDanielBuck @Freedom4Teachrs @realsienarose

🧵Your union already agrees with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The IRGC, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, just wrote a 25-page letter to American voters weeks before the midterms. It calls the White House a “factory of lies” and claims “Death to America” is really just a prayer against Washington. Most Americans will ignore it, but teachers' unions are bound to endorse much of it. In July, Randi Weingarten's American Federation of Teachers adopted a resolution demanding “an immediate end to the war with Iran" and called on the U.S. and Israel to halt military operations against them. At the same convention, delegates passed a resolution blaming Israel for salary problems among teachers in Palestinian Authority territory. (1/3)

BREAKING: California’s new test scores are in, and they’re damning. Just 49.3% of students met state English standards this spring, and only 38.4% were proficient in math. That means more than half of California’s 5.4 million students can’t read at grade level. That’s what you get when teachers’ unions care more about politics and organizing than reading and math. 🧐

Union leaders aren't hiding it: they see their members as foot soldiers for the radical left. SEIU President April Verrett has made clear that she views the union as a political machine, a source of money and manpower to elect Democrats, not a vehicle for representing the workers who pay its dues.

Another problem in education we can trace back to teachers' unions. Union activists in schools take kids out of classrooms to go protest cultural battles like "ICE Out" or "No Kings." To a union, it's more important that your 5 year old knows how to make a No Kings sign, than it is that they know their fractions.

This is why government teachers' unions are problematic. They are national organizations that have outside corrupt interests in influencing education standards. Put students first. Opt out of teachers’ unions.

Capitalism champions the working class. Communism and socialism keep workers trapped in a system designed to suppress them.

BREAKING: We’ve charged Teamsters Local 2010 with trapping California university workers in the union. Eight workers resigned in writing (following the union’s own rules), yet Local 2010 kept taking dues from their paychecks. The reason? A 30-day “escape window” that opens only once every 3–5 years. Miss it, and you’re locked in for years. (1/3)

This is what REAL worker freedom looks like: hundreds of thousands of public workers taking their paychecks back from big unions and cutting off funds for radical, left-wing agendas in our schools. Our strategy is working, and we're only getting started!

"There is still reason to be hopeful for the future.” Read CEO @AaronWithe's new op-ed in the @realDailyWire. "My Debate At Yale: Taxpayers Scored An Ivy League Victory Against The Unions." ⬇️ dailywire.com/news/my-debate…

🚨The Communist Party USA just published its playbook for using the labor movement as vehicle for communism. In a statement adopted by the CPUSA National Committee this year, they ask how to drag millions of unorganized workers into unions and how to sell them a “peace and international solidarity” foreign policy. Their answer is open class warfare on “monopoly capital,” shredding Taft-Hartley, passing the PRO Act, and a federal jobs guarantee funded by "taxing the oligarchy.” Then they say the quiet part out loud: “Ultimately, the relationships, understanding, and collective power built through such struggle are the very foundations upon which a broader working class majority can be organized to advance a transition to socialism.” They even name the villains of the old labor movement: “a long history of class collaborationist and anti-communist politics in the U.S. labor movement — from the Gompers era through the Cold War leadership of George Meany and Lane Kirkland.” Translation: Capitalism and anti-communism are the problem, and the CPUSA's aggressive new strategy is the cure. 🧵(1/3)

If Freedom Foundation and Opt Out Today don’t tell workers about their options for union membership, who will?

Last week at the Yale Political Union, our CEO @AaronWithe made the case to ban public-sector unions. The resolution passed 35–25. Since 2018, we’ve helped more than 300,000 public employees leave their unions — the front line of the largest drop in union membership in U.S. history. Workers earning $60–70k are getting as much as $1,100 a year back. That’s $1,100 that isn’t funding radical union politics.
