Teachers Unions Have Become the Democratic Party’s ‘Money Laundering Scheme,’ Moms for Liberty CEO Says
9th August 2026
Teachers unions such as the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers are using dues to push a political agenda instead of “addressing the failed education system,” the head of Moms for Liberty told the Daily Signal in an interview.
Tina Descovich, the group’s CEO, says her claim does not stem from her own personal opinion, but from years of tracking union resolutions, curricula, and meetings, as well national education data.
The Department of Education’s 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed that a record 32% of high school seniors cannot read proficiently, and almost half cannot do basic math. Fourth- and eighth-grade math and reading scores also fell, continuing a collapse that began before the COVID-19 school closures.
“The teachers unions are the reason public education is failing in America,” Descovich said, adding that they focus on “everything but education.”
