Largest US teachers union mocked for misspelling ‘fascism’ in anti-Trump agenda item

The nation’s largest teachers union faced ridicule this week for misspelling “fascism” in a resolution opposing President Trump. 

The approval of the distorted proposal, aimed at safeguarding “the survival of civilization itself,” was granted by the National Education Association (NEA), which represents over 3 million teachers nationwide, during the group’s yearly convention on Sunday.

According to the adopted agenda item, which was received by conservative education specialist Corey A. DeAngelis and shared on X, the NEA vows to protect democracy from Trump’s endorsement of fascism by accurately labeling Donald Trump’s program and activities as fascism.

The extended new business item insisted that “The members and material resources of NEA must be dedicated to safeguarding the democratic and educational conditions essential for our aspirations of a fair society and the persistence of civilization itself by expressing the truth.”

The document noted that calling out Trump’s “facism” [sic] in NEA materials “cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources” because it would cost an additional $3,500 to do so. 

DeAngelis, and several people on social media, mocked the NEA over the spelling error. 

“Yes, the union that claims to represent educators couldn’t even spell ‘fascism’ correctly in its official resolution attacking the president,” he wrote in a Fox News opinion piece. “The irony is almost too rich to parody.” 

Tina Descovich, the CEO and co-founder of conservative group Moms for Liberty, argued that the agenda item was emblematic of the dismal state of the American education system. 

“If the largest teachers union can’t define fascism properly we can all understand clearly why we are failing to teach children in schools,” Descovich wrote on X. “Number one priority is not to teach reading and math but a political agenda.”

“It’s infuriating.”

Republican Washington State Rep. Jim Walsh described the resolution as a “hysterical slander” of Trump and said it’s apparent why some families opt to steer their children away from public schools. 

“A political lobbying organization that claims to represent public school teachers misspells the key word in its hysterical slander of the current POTUS,” Walsh wrote on X. “It’s not spelled ‘facism,’ morons.”

“And you’re not using the word correctly, anyway,” the state rep continued.”No wonder many families are homeschooling.”

A teacher on the social media platform argued that “It says a lot about NEA when they can’t spell fascism correctly twice in one sentence.”

“Further, if any of my history students wrote ‘in this essay, I will prove Person X was fascist by labelling him and his actions as fascist’, I’d light the paper on fire,” the person added. 

The NEA did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
