WATCH NOW: A brand new animated video from Freedom Foundation that exposes the maze of confusing opt-out windows and ignored communications many public employees have to go through.
"Public employees deserve a real choice."
We’ve helped more than 303,000 public employees opt out, keeping hundreds of millions of dollars from going to organizations they do not support.
303,000 public servants, teachers, and families that feel more empowered because of the work Freedom Foundation gets to do every day.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — a designated terrorist organization — just did something unusual. It wrote a letter to American voters. Even more concerning? Teachers’ unions have been echoing its demands for months.

Public unions no longer serve their members. They exist to serve their political ambitions.
Defund government unions.
These three teachers’ stories show the difference between listening to someone and trying to persuade them.
When a teacher says, “I don’t want to belong to the union,” the response shouldn’t be a list of everything the union has done for them—designed to guilt trip them into saying.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote a letter 25-page long letter to American voters. Teachers who pay union dues might find a lot of it familiar.

Say it loud for the people in the back: communism is NOT pro-worker. @realsienarose

Schools exist to teach kids reading, writing, and math, not to spread political agendas. Teachers who want their classrooms back can start by opting out of the union and keeping more of their own paycheck.
Schools should be educating kids, not pushing agendas. Take back public education by opting out of your union.

Freedom Foundation is different for one reason: we are laser focused on a single goal. Day in and day out, our team works to defend the rights of public employees and defund corrupt government unions.
We love this work, and we know you do too. Thanks for standing with us. 🔥

This whole interview feels like a fever dream. It is 20 minutes of Verrett casting blame to everyone else, and then admitting that the biggest issue a union cares about is political organizing. It's absolutely shameful.

Liability insurance. Professional development free of DEI and left-wing bias. TFA CEO @RyanWalters_ told @glennbeck on @BlazeTV what good teachers get when they leave the union and join TFA.

Idaho just stopped using the state as a debt collector for the teachers' union, which means more money stays in teachers’ paychecks and less flows into the big union machine.
Another successful Freedom Foundation endeavor has resulted in taxpayer funding being but from teachers’ unions in Idaho.
After House Bill 516 took effect on July 1, the Idaho Education Association (IEA) was forced to re-evaluate their budget now that the state will no longer operate as a debt-collector and will be cutting about 13% of its staff and closing all regional offices outside of Boise.
Another win for protecting teachers’ paychecks and stopping the taxpayer slush fund into unions. 🔥
Our friends at the @MackinacCenter are keeping up the fight in Michigan, taking SEIU to court over its deceptive tactics. 👏🏻
Freedom Foundation canvassers were on the ground earlier this year talking with public employees about their union options. Now Mackinac is challenging SEIU’s efforts to skirt the safeguards that protect workers from coercion and deception.

CTU: We believe in diversity of thought and every child’s right to think for themselves.
Also CTU: No, not like that.
Here are the details about CTU's cancellation of our event.

Unions are supposed to bargain over pay and working conditions, not echo Tehran's talking points while actual Iranian teachers get locked up for demanding fair wages.
🧵Your union already agrees with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
The IRGC, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, just wrote a 25-page letter to American voters weeks before the midterms. It calls the White House a “factory of lies” and claims “Death to America” is really just a prayer against Washington.
Most Americans will ignore it, but teachers' unions are bound to endorse much of it. In July, Randi Weingarten's American Federation of Teachers adopted a resolution demanding “an immediate end to the war with Iran" and called on the U.S. and Israel to halt military operations against them.
At the same convention, delegates passed a resolution blaming Israel for salary problems among teachers in Palestinian Authority territory.

Teachers deserve fair pay, but more money will not fix our schools until we know how much is actually reaching the classroom instead of top-heavy administration.
How much money is actually going to the classroom? How much money goes to top-heavy administrative staff who rarely set foot in a classroom?
Teachers deserve fair pay, recognition, and support for their work. But the problems in our schools won’t be solved by throwing more money at them. We need to ask where that money is going and whether it’s actually helping teachers and students.

Here’s an idea: teach kids to be literate, not activists.
