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). The decision bars the union from using, endorsing, or publicizing any materials from the ADL, ending a decades-long partnership focused on fighting antisemitism. The NEA criticized the ADL for not being the social justice educational partner it claims to be and for its perceived defense of Israel, which the union characterized as weaponizing antisemitism and attacking supporters of Palestinian rights. This move has sparked concern and backlash from nearly 400 Jewish organizations, who urged the NEA to reject the ban on ADL materials, warning that it could endanger Jewish students and teachers and undermine education about antisemitism and the Holocaust. The ADL responded by emphasizing the need for supportive environments free from bias and hate, highlighting an op-ed by its CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in the Wall Street Journal that warns of anti-Israel and anti-American radicalism spreading from college campuses to K-12 classrooms. The vote reflects a broader shift within the NEA and has ignited debate over the role of the ADL in educational settings and the intersection of social justice and Israel-related issues within teachers unions.
