The unions are collaborating with giant AI providers like Microsoft and Anthropic, who are footing the bill for nationwide programs to train teachers on using AI in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Teachers unions are collaborating with AI companies to push indoctrination in classrooms, warns columnist Betsy McCaughey. insta_photos \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n
Sounds at first like a win-win: New resources for students, and a new generation of customers for the AI industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the dirty\u00a0secret is that the unions want to alter the answers AI produces, to ensure that students see content that\u2019s not factually accurate, but politically correct.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what education watchdog group Defending Education\u00a0found in its new report<\/a>.<\/p>\n The AFT, for example, is targeting 10% of its teacher members with a $12.5 million training program, funded by Microsoft and other sponsors, that pushes them to embed DEI ideology in their schools\u2019 AI programs.<\/p>\n Why? To overcome the \u201calgorithmic biases\u201d supposedly built into those programs by their designers, who are mostly white and Asian males. \u00a0<\/p>\n Similarly, the Defending Education expos\u00e9 found that NEA mandates tell local school boards to integrate DEI into their AI programs.<\/p>\n The unions call these changes to classroom AI \u201cguardrails.\u201d<\/p>\n In truth, teachers\u2019 unions want to block students from seeing actual, undoctored\u00a0facts about anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n Their objective is to indoctrinate, not educate.<\/p>\n That misguided mission is largely to blame for the past decade of drastic learning loss in K-12 schools: Too much indoctrination, too little emphasis on the basics of math and reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bad omen for our country.<\/p>\n Parents and the public need to respond to this threat immediately, demanding that AI providers not sell out to unions\u2019 left-wing goals in exchange for\u00a0access to our schools.<\/p>\n Corrupting educational AI fits into a dangerous pattern of union-sponsored indoctrination in K-12.<\/p>\n A few months ago, the NEA launched its May Day 2026 Toolkit for teachers,\u00a0using the theme \u201cWorkers Over Billionaires\u201d\u00a0and calling for a day of \u201cno work, no school, no shopping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s a holiday commemorated in communist countries. It has no place in American classrooms.<\/p>\n President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are trying to halt federal funding for schools that promote gender indoctrination, left-wing brainwashing and DEI.<\/p>\n
