A new Freedom Foundation investigative report shows how the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in teachers' dues to fund the writing and promotion of Randi Weingarten’s book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers. The report, authored by our Director of Research and Government Affairs @MaxfordNelsen, is based on an analysis of AFT’s most recent Form LM-2 disclosure filed with the US Department of Labor. Among the findings: ✅AFT paid over $400K to leftist writer Sally Kohn as a “day-to-day thought partner and collaborator” ✅AFT paid $6K for fact-checking, $5,212 for Weingarten’s author photograph, and $64,090 in publication expenses to InkWell Management ✅AFT paid nearly $1 million to a liberal law firm whose attorney is credited in the book’s acknowledgements for conducting a legal review of the manuscript ✅Despite Weingarten’s public claims that half of all book proceeds would go to AFT charities, financial records suggest the charities received only one-third of early royalties — with another $125,000 paid to Weingarten herself via a sketchy Delaware LLC called "Teachers Want What Kids Need"

Young men need good role models in school. It’s time to get back to the basics and start teaching truth again. Go to optouttoday.com to leave your union. TFA CEO @RyanWalters_ on @prageru's Real Talk with @marissastreit

We just testified in Hawaii against SB 3055, a union-backed bill designed to silence us and block public employees from learning about their constitutional right to opt out of their union. This is a carbon copy of Oregon’s unconstitutional HB 3789, the same anti-speech law we’re challenging in federal court in the 9th Circuit. AFSCME union officials openly admitted during testimony that the Freedom Foundation is the sole reason this bill exists. They aren’t even pretending it’s about anything else!
