- Defending Education

While parents have been out shopping for backpacks and school supplies, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, the NEA, has been busy stuffing those backpacks with politics, bias, and ideology.

That’s why today I’m launching our official Back-to-School Fundraising Drive.

Our goal? Raise $50,000 by the end of August to fuel our legal battles, support investigative work, and equip parents with real tools to push back.

Will you chip in $35, $50, $75—or even just $10—to help us hit our goal?

With your help, Defending Ed has: 

  • Helped parents understand the Mahmoud v Taylor Supreme Court ruling and exercise their right to opt their children out of sex and gender-focused curriculum – regardless of when and where it is introduced during the school day.
  • Exposed DEI mandates in union contracts from Oakland to Seattle
  • Released a report showing a 67% rise in international students at U.S. universities since 2001
  • Launched a Title IX State Tracker revealing 18 states still out of compliance when it comes to males being permitted in girls sports.
  • Updated our investigation showing that 21,314 schools have policies to keep parents in the dark when a child adopts a new gender identity

This Back-to-School Drive is critical to keeping up the fight for a high-quality, non-political education for every student. I’m asking you—personally—to stand with us.

Together, we are taking back our schools. Thank you for any amount you can give today.
