Largest Teachers Union Removes Jews From The History of the Holocaust

By /

The nation’s largest teachers’ union is backing a disturbing revision of Holocaust education that omits Jewish victims and pushes anti-Israel propaganda into classrooms. Their own handbook reveals just how far they’ve gone.

Key Facts:

  • The National Education Association (NEA) released its 2025 handbook omitting Jews from Holocaust remembrance language.
  • The NEA handbook promotes the Palestinian “Nakba” narrative while demonizing Israel’s founding.
  • The union represents nearly 3 million public school educators across the United States.
  • The NEA Representative Assembly voted to boycott Holocaust education from the Anti-Defamation League, though union leadership rejected the vote.
  • The handbook says NEA will teach that “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” and support pro-Palestinian activism in schools and universities.

The Rest of The Story:

The National Education Association’s 2025 handbook promotes a version of Holocaust education that ignores the central fact that Jews were the Nazis’ primary target.

Instead, it refers broadly to “12 million victims of the Holocaust” from different “faiths, ethnicities, races, political beliefs,” and other identity categories—completely omitting any mention of Jews.

At the same time, the NEA uses the handbook to push a one-sided historical narrative about the Palestinian “Nakba,” describing the founding of Israel as “forced, violent displacement and dispossession” of at least 750,000 Palestinians.

The document claims that this “ongoing trauma” still impacts Palestinian American students and must be included in U.S. classrooms.

The NEA also states it will educate members to believe that opposing Zionism is not antisemitism.

The handbook reads: “NEA will use existing digital communication tools to educate members about the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.”

It also commits to defending “free speech in defense of Palestine” in public schools and colleges.

Earlier this month, the NEA’s Representative Assembly voted to boycott Holocaust materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

Though NEA leadership declined to act on that vote, the new handbook suggests that union leaders are still supporting many of the same anti-Israel and anti-Jewish positions.

With antisemitism on the rise in classrooms and college campuses nationwide, this direction by a powerful union raises serious concerns about the ideological conditioning of young students.

Commentary:

This is what happens when radical ideologues run our public schools.

The NEA, already known for its left-wing politics, is now actively promoting historical revisionism.

They’re pushing an agenda that erases Jewish suffering in the Holocaust—one of the most documented atrocities in modern history—to score political points.

Parents need to understand: this isn’t a mistake. It’s deliberate. The NEA is replacing actual history with propaganda.

If your child’s education is being guided by this union, they’re not learning facts—they’re being fed a worldview built on victim politics and anti-Israel bias.

The fact that the NEA wants to teach children that Israel’s founding was a “catastrophe” while failing to mention the systematic extermination of 6 million Jews tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

And let’s not forget—they’re doing this on your dime. Public schools are taxpayer-funded, yet many of their most powerful teachers’ unions are promoting agendas hostile to truth, history, and even common decency.

It’s time for parents to make hard choices. If you can homeschool your child, do it. If you can afford private school, make the investment. If you’re relying on public schools, you’re rolling the dice with your child’s mind and soul.

The sad truth is, most of the people in these unions should never be near a classroom. They are activists masquerading as educators, and their goal isn’t to inform—it’s to mold.

And what they’re molding are young minds into political tools—tools that will carry forward their warped ideology and rewrite the past to suit their narrative.

This union’s agenda is disgraceful. It is anti-Semitic. And it has no place in a civilized society.

The Bottom Line:

The NEA’s 2025 handbook strips Jews from Holocaust remembrance and promotes an anti-Israel curriculum to millions of public school educators.

While rejecting direct votes to boycott Jewish materials, the union’s leadership is still leaning into radical ideology.

Parents must confront the reality: public education is no longer a neutral space.
