"The president of the largest and most powerful teachers' union in the country is brainwashing the minds of today's educators, so that they can then brainwash the minds of our children," Petrick said. Fiorazo, on the other hand, warned that Pringle is mobilizing her fellow educators to groom potential "social justice" warriors for the Left.
A description of Pringle on the NEA's website mentioned that she was a "fierce social justice warrior, defender of educator rights, unrelenting advocate for all students and communities of color and a valued and respected voice in the education arena." Prior to becoming the union president, the teacher with more than three decades of experience under her belt served as NEA secretary-treasurer and vice president.
Fiorazo cited the NEA president's "infuriating" speech during a conference in July, which was filled to the brim with woke agenda items and progressive language. These issues, he remarked, have little to do with the proper education of American children.
"The NEA is a social justice union that's really a female and transgender non-conforming. It's just a combination of idiocy, but this is what they're passing on to the kids," stated Fiorazo, who added that the teachers union was voting on mandatory masking, creating an enemies list and rejecting words such as mother and father.
The show presented video clips of Pringle giving her speech during the NEA conference in Chicago. Pringle mentioned that Americans are now feeling the effects of a radicalized Supreme Court issuing decisions that do not reflect the views or the values of America.
She added that the ground has shifted and the stage has been set to move the American people away from the promise of America for all Americans.
Educators are no longer hiding their political bias
Pringle also touched on several issues, such as decisions on school prayer that attack religious freedom and vouchers that threaten the right to universal public education. She also mentioned the long-term devastating impact of the Supreme Court's decision to hijack the fundamental freedom to decide when and how to have a family.
Fiorazo noted that Pringle and the NEA are no longer hiding their political bias or agenda.
According to Petrick, the purpose of education is to teach students how to think for themselves. It's not possible when the educators themselves are pushing certain agenda.
During her July 2022 speech, Pringle remarked that the NEA will "fight unceasingly" for the rights of LGBT students and educators. She promised that the teachers' union will encourage them to walk in their authenticity and to love themselves fully to be who they are meant to be. Fiorazo, however, expressed skepticism as this went against the image of how God made these students and teachers.
Pringle also mentioned in her speech that she and other educators will continue to take seriously their responsibility as educators to teach students about America's true and complete history through the so-called 1619 Project.

Fiorazo lamented that the 1619 Project pushed by Pringle and the NEA is not true American history, but leftist and social justice woke history. Ultimately, Petrick said that leftist educators have been rewriting and revising history for decades.
