Going back to America’s founding, teaching was a job meant to create a literate population that embraced American values. Starting around the 1960s, it became a “profession,” which had more cachet. Now, though, it’s a cult, and every one of us should be absolutely terrified of the maniacs who have complete control over our children for eight hours a day, five days a week, seven months a year.

It recently held its annual conference, an event at which “approximately 6,000 educators meet to debate the vital issues that impact American public education and set National Education Association policy and activities for the year ahead.” At this year’s meeting, Becky Pringle, the NEA’s president, stood up to speak.

In 2021, the New York Times gave Pringle a glowing profile. The article is illuminating when it comes to showing the NEA’s centrality to the Democrat party and how it embraces hard-left social justice policies. Most fascinating, though, is what the Times has to say about Pringle, a leftist among leftists:

What motivates Ms. Pringle, she said, is a longtime need that is ever more pressing now: to “reclaim public education as a common good, and transform it into something it was never designed to be: racially and socially just, and equitable.”
