Episode summary: Should unions be driven by ideology or, as Samuel Gompers believed in, “pure and simple unionism?” Today, there is a ideological and political debate going on within America over the issue of ‘gender ideology’ in classrooms, and teachers’ unions—the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association—seem to be at the forefront of leading it.

In this episode, Freedom Foundation’s Policy and Research Analyst Maddie Vernon joins host Peter List to discuss her recent article entitled NEA’S “Schools in Transition” Guide Instructs Teachers to Encourage Transgenderism in the Classroom.

The Freedom Foundation is a a 501(c)(3) Non-profit and, according to its website, a “battle tank that’s battering the entrenched power of left-wing government union bosses who represent a permanent lobby for bigger government, higher taxes, and radical social agendas.”
