EXCLUSIVE — A watchdog analysis of funds spent by the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers unions over the last year discovered millions of dollars were prioritized for political purposes instead of supporting teachers and students.

Americans for Fair Treatment, a national nonprofit organization supporting public employees, found that the NEA spent $10 million more on politics and lobbying than it did representing its members. Similarly, the AFT spent $46.9 million on politics in 2023, a $11.2 million increase from the previous reporting period, according to the analysis provided exclusively to the Washington Examiner.
