Summary
The National Education Association is under fire as lawmakers like Mary Miller and Buddy Carter push to revoke its unique federal charter.
In this episode, I take a hard look at the NEA’s growing political influence inside public schools—and what it means for parental rights, religious liberty, and academic excellence. You’ll hear from whistleblower Christina Barton, a former school counselor who risked her career after raising concerns about policies that kept parents in the dark.
If you care about who is shaping your child’s education—and whether schools are serving families or sidelining them—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

| 0:19.6 | So today, I'm going to be exposing the National Education |
| 0:22.3 | Association to you guys again, the NEA, which is the massive teachers union that has morphed |
| 0:28.4 | into a powerhouse engine that drives a radical leftist agenda straight into our public schools. |
| 0:34.9 | From pushing transgender ideology to sideline parents and |
| 0:38.4 | prioritizing politics over reading and math, the NEA is indoctrinating our kids against biblical |

| 1:45.4 | hear from a former school counselor today who was targeted by the NIA. These guys claim to |
