The nation’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association, is once again leaning into political and cultural battles rather than focusing on its core mission of representing educators in collective bargaining.
This fall, as students return to classrooms, the NEA has rolled out a new program called Everyone Is Welcome Here. The initiative, launched in partnership with Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth, and other activist groups, provides free “welcome kits” to teachers who sign up.
Each kit includes a tote bag, LGBTQ-themed stickers, lanyards, lapel pins, bracelets, and an “I’m Here” badge from the NEA’s LGBTQ+ caucus. The items are meant to serve as visible symbols that a classroom is “inclusive,” particularly for students identifying as LGBTQ or transgender.
The NEA frames the program as a way to ensure schools are “safe and affirming,” but it crosses the line into political indoctrination and sexual grooming. By teaming up with organizations that promote sexual education and radical gender ideology, the NEA is inserting itself into highly controversial territory — territory many parents believe does not belong in K–12 classrooms.
Planned Parenthood’s involvement adds to parent concerns. Long known as the nation’s largest abortion provider, the group also promotes expansive definitions of “inclusive sex education,” often encouraging teachers to introduce students to gender fluidity, sexual identity exploration, and topics far removed from reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Planned Parenthood is now one of the biggest providers of “gender affirming care,” which is the term used to refer to transgender procedures and drugs.
Instead of improving academic standards, addressing plummeting test scores, or focusing on the needs of students struggling to recover from pandemic-era learning loss, the NEA is devoting its resources to cultural activism. The organization insists that children must be “affirmed” in their gender identity in order to thrive. But the very branding of “Everyone Is Welcome Here” suggests the opposite: students, teachers, and parents who hold traditional beliefs may find their values are anything but welcome.
Opponents say that parents, rather than unions or activist groups, should decide what values are taught to children. “This is not about safety. It’s about sexualizing classrooms,” one education advocate told Must Read Alaska. “The NEA has strayed so far from its original mission of supporting teachers and negotiating for better wages and working conditions. Now, it’s just another political machine.”
The Everyone Is Welcome Here kits are available to the first 1,000 teachers who sign up, with shipments expected within two weeks. The message is clear: Classrooms across America are being transformed into ideological battlegrounds, with the NEA leading the charge.
Vote blue if you are pro-pedo.
NEA is where pedophiles, perverts, and child molesters congregate. You could look it up!
Thank God Trump is doing away with the education dept.
Alaska doesnt need any help from any unions or dictators from DC when it comes to youth.
Joe’s attempted ban on funding for schools that refused to allow boys to use my girl’s bathroom/shower room was the straw that broke that pervert’s back.
The Teachers Union is the issue. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers Union.
Below is a link that states a partnership with the WEF.

We need to keep our children out of public schools until this person is completely gone and the Teachers Union is no longer infected with this ideology.
Apparently there’s still hope for Alaska.
Yesterday it was a showdown in Bethel, where all but four students in a classroom were withdrawn from a confused identity teachers classroom. The school board voted that parents could in fact request their children be reassigned to another teacher.
Smart move on the school board. The next step was a protest for the entire student population to skip two days a week in the month of October, which is the headcount month for the District’s share of the BSA funding.
I fail to understand when a village boots a guy using the girls bathroom and then the parents have an uprising in Bethel over the same guy, using the girls bathrooms, just exactly what part of this doesn’t the administration understand??
Yet we keep paying for the same dismal administrative performance, year after year…
Demons gonna demon. What are we going to do about it is the real question.
Perfect!
Each kid who wants to wear a Save Girls’ Sports, MAGA, or White Conservative Jesus Freak t-shirt should feel free to do so! If everyone is welcome. . .
Why is homosexual deviance so important to people who choose jobs around children? As a Catholic, my Church has taken steps to drive homosexuals out of the priesthood because of the horrendous abuses that took place with children. Meanwhile, public schools are all in on homosexuality, and they don’t see the slightest problem with that.
Time to start incarcerating deviants pushing homosexuality on children. It is abuse. It leads to worse abuse. And it must be rooted out.
Nobody says you cannot choose to be homosexual–just that if you do, you are not to be trusted around children.
Where are our conservative teachers? Stand up for yourselves. Let’s see an alternative union group start up. Let’s go Alaska, it’s time.
THIS TYPE OF THING WOULD HAVE BEEN CRIMINAL 25-30 YEARS AGO. WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR THEIR KIDS AND SAYING, “HELL NO”! WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE PARENTS?? I’M ONE, BUT MY KIDS ARE GROWN, WHERE ARE THE REST OF YOU?
Everyone is welcome. Except for traditional families, conservatives and especially republicans. Decades ago people said this movement doesn’t affect them, that they just want to be left alone. THIS is what happens when you don’t fight dangerous ideology like this.
Benjamin Franklin said “A well done is better than well said.”
Based on what Trump and Dunleavy (as a Senator) have done on this issue…and the AG Taylor has clarified, now is a good time to act. Check out how on the link below.

Also, the Anchorage School District “Administrative Guidelines” are in total violation of girls sports and privacy as well as “transitioning” of students. They are doubling down and thumbing their noses at the protections in place. They need to be reported to the Department of Education for violations of Title IX
You’re 100% correct. ASD and their guidelines have been reported to DEED multiple times without response.
I’m not seeing anything like that in the Mat Valley, thankfully.
Be vigilant as they will try. The valley still has a large percentage of sane teachers and families stemming the tide of insanity and evil. Be thankful but do not drop your guard or awareness, and be ready for battle.
The truth is the Valley is majority white with working middle class parents.
The NEA and all the pervert teachers take advantage of and prey on non white economically and educationally disadvantages students.
We can tell the truth again – Trump won his third term.
Absolutely disgusting. How dare they! It’s child abuse all day long!
What makes me wonder? Why is the left pushing SO hard for forcing adult ideas about sex: for children? Frankly, no one cares what consenting adults do with each other, or to themselves these days. Isn’t that enough? WHY push for children to be involved?
Guess they did not anticipate the removal federal funding for this move. Buckle up Anchorage, unions are losing their grift and want their pound of flesh.
The establishment just spent the past years or so pandering to the dumbest and lowest percentage of the population thinking they were the majority of voters. Now they don’t seem to under why they are being rejected hard and why Trump keeps winning.
They thought all of us were stupid and that we could be led around like helpless sheep. They were dead wrong. The establishment has lost and the coming days will only show the inevitable collapse of the old guard.
They want so badly for us to give them all our power but their efforts have only emboldened us to rediscover our own power.
Good bye to the corrupt led bloodlines, hello to a newly awakened humanity.
Notice how the usual dem/libs are quiet on this without the usual rants pissing and moaning about MAGA DJT or whatever else they can think of to deflect the truth of this.
It is very obvious they know their party is pushing this social sickness on children hoping for whatever mental illness it brings.
My guess it is all for total control of future generations.
God forbid, students who are LGBTQ, who have a much higher rate of self harm and suicide, feel welcome at school. When I was in school in the 70’s and 80’s kids wouldn’t dare come out for fear of bullying, beatings, or worse, and you all know that. Apparently, that’s what you are fighting to go back to? How dare teachers be welcoming to all of their students, not just the “strait” ones. I hope all those outraged at this idea don’t have friends/loved ones who are LGBTQ, as they probably don’t feel welcome.
