The Freedom Foundation on Saturday launched the Teacher Freedom Alliance, a new organization designed to provide educators with an alternative to traditional union membership. The initiative follows the success of the Freedom Foundation’s annual Teacher Freedom Summit, which has engaged more than 500 educators from 35 states over the past two years.
The Teacher Freedom Alliance aims to bring together teachers nationwide to restore educational values and challenge the necessity of traditional teachers’ unions. The organization promotes a vision where educators can exercise their First Amendment rights without union influence.
“Public employees are leaving their unions in record numbers, frustrated by the funding of radical agendas driven by union bosses,” said Freedom Foundation CEO Aaron Withe. “The Teacher Freedom Alliance offers an alternative for pro-America educators who seek to restore traditional values in the classroom and provide students with the high-quality education they deserve—free from political influence and union control.”
The Teacher Freedom Alliance was established in response to increasing dissatisfaction among educators regarding the direction of public education, which many believe is influenced by the agendas of traditional teachers’ unions. The new organization is committed to supporting teachers in their mission to develop free, moral, and responsible citizens. Unlike unions, TFA offers its resources and community at no additional cost to educators.
The Teacher Freedom Alliance is dedicated to:
- Promoting traditional educational values.
- Providing teachers with superior resources.
- Fostering a school culture where educators feel empowered to advocate for themselves and their students.
With growing concerns over union leadership’s political spending and ideological influence, TFA presents itself as a viable alternative for teachers who seek a focus on academic excellence over activism.
This could work if given the chance. Unfortunately the democrat states, cities, and school boards are all beholden to the corrupt teachers unions. It will be a fight worth fighting.
