NEA Teachers Union Member Told Fighting Trump Overreads Reading, Writing Skills

A teacher union member was reportedly told by an NEA official that fighting against President Donald Trump is more crucial than teaching essential subjects like reading and writing at a recent National Education Association meeting. The incident has sparked outrage among educators who feel their profession's values are being compromised. The report alleges that this statement undermines the core purpose of education, which is to teach students vital skills for success. The NEA has since issued a statement distancing itself from the official's comments.
