Largest teachers' union committee rejects ban on ADL amid antisemitism accusations
UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – NEA leadership rejected a member-approved boycott of the Anti-Defamation League despite a delegate majority, drawing support from nearly 400 Jewish groups and sparking union division.
- On July 18, the NEA Executive Committee and Board of Directors rejected a motion to boycott ADL materials, ending weeks of internal debate.
- Earlier this month the NEA Representative Assembly approved a motion to bar ADL materials on July 5th in Portland, Oregon.
- A majority of the NEA’s 7,000 delegates approved the motion, while ADL supporters sent hundreds of thousands of emails and rallied 400 Jewish groups.
- Becky Pringle said `in no way an endorsement of the ADL’s full body of work`, noting the proposal would not further NEA’s commitment to academic freedom.
- Jewish advocates say the decision underscores that Jewish voices matter in schools, as cities like Los Angeles and Boston debate ADL materials.
