The National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in the United States, voted on July 6, 2025, to sever all ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). This decision bars the NEA from using, endorsing, or publicizing any materials from the ADL, ending a decades-long partnership focused on fighting antisemitism. The NEA cited concerns that the ADL, despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be, particularly criticizing the ADL's defense of Israel and its approach to addressing antisemitism. The union's move reflects growing tensions over the ADL's perceived weaponization of antisemitism and its opposition to supporters of Palestinian rights. The decision has sparked debate about the implications for Jewish students and teachers, with some expressing concern that it undermines efforts to combat antisemitism and Holocaust education in schools. The NEA's shift is seen by some observers as part of a broader leftward movement within the union and highlights changing dynamics in progressive organizations regarding Israel and antisemitism.
