Ridgewood NJ , in Sunlight Policy Center of New Jersey’s recent report, “Teaching Is Political, Part I,” we revealed that the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) is training teachers to become political activists and push for truly radical curriculums at the local school district level.  In this report, we look at how the NJEA has taken its political activities to the next level by inserting itself – and teachers – into this fall’s school board elections.  The shared title of Sunlight’s two reports comes from an NJEA Summer Collaborative called “Teaching Is Political.”  The NJEA likes to claim that others are seeking to “politicize our public schools,” but by its own words and actions, it is the NJEA that is bringing politics into schools and school districts around the state.

IS THE EDUCATION TRUTH PROJECT A NJEA-FUNDED, DARK MONEY PAC?

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, It sure looks like the NJEA is funding another dark money Super PAC, this time aimed squarely at parents running for school board this fall. Sunlight Policy Center of New Jersey recently received several tips that New Jersey’s most powerful special interest, the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), is funding a new dark money Super PAC aimed at this fall’s school board elections. This would make sense, as a dark money Super PAC would complement the other parts of the NJEA’s multi-pronged, statewide campaign to fight the wave of parental activism in school districts across the state.
