Teacher Unions as Ideological Organizers

When national teacher unions prioritize and distribute training in identity‑politics (pronoun protocols, oppression frameworks, CRT language) instead of subject‑matter pedagogy, they function less like professional associations and more like organized political educators shaping school culture and policy. That shift changes what is normalized in classrooms, who sets practice standards for staff, and how parental rights and legal disputes over school practices play out. — If teacher unions act as organized ideological training machines, debates over curriculum, parental notification, and school governance escalate from local policy fights to national institutional conflicts with legal and political consequences.
