The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest teachers union in the U.S., representing over 3 million teachers. And recently, a leaked internal agenda reveals a political playbook that has nothing to do with reading, writing, or math. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit is joined by education whistleblower Jessica Tapia, a California teacher fired for refusing to comply with transgender directives, and school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis, who breaks down what’s really going on inside the NEA. Now, the powerful American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is partnering with OpenAI to shape how artificial intelligence enters the classroom—raising urgent questions about bias, control over curriculum, and who really gets to influence the minds of America’s students.

Investigative journalist and author Tyler O’Neil joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to explain how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), brands mainstream conservative and Christian groups as “hate groups” while defending groups like Antifa. He exposes how the SPLC’s so-called “hate map” has inspired real-world violence, shaped government policy, and been weaponized by Big Tech and the media to suppress dissent. He also draws concerning connections between radical activist groups like Antifa and CHIRLA, showing how these organizations fueled anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles all while receiving taxpayer funding.
