Teachers Union Uses Quarterly Journal to Advance Leftist Dogma
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the nation’s second largest teachers’ union, makes no effort to disguise its anti-Trump agenda in the fall issue of its quarterly journal, American Educator. The issue asks instructors to be mindful of both implicit and explicit bias under the Trump administration and to combat said bias with safe spaces and identity politics. In fact, the entire issue reads like a campaign to perpetuate leftist dogma in schools, as if it’s not already the predominant ideology in the public school system.
AFT President Randi Weingarten sets the stage for these themes in the issue’s opening essay, “A Defining Moment for Democracy.” There, she claims President Trump has “trampled rights enshrined in the Constitution,” “waged a war on truth,” and “fanned biases that aim to dehumanize ‘the other’ and that erode our democracy.”
