Communists Betray Workers! Teachers Betray Students! Civil Rights Organizations Betray Blacks! Feminists Betray Women!
Just how left-wing teachers organizations are was made clear by the sympathetic left-wing magazine The Nation in January:
"A rank-and-file campaign inside the National Education Association is demanding the president stop 'sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel.' ... But the rank-and-file campaign goes beyond (that). ... Members want the NEA (National Education Association) to revoke its endorsement of Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential race until the president ... stops 'sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel.'"
That was only two months after Oct. 7.
Civil Rights Organizations
Most civil rights organizations are also essentially left-wing groups. They use alleged concern for blacks to attain and retain power, but they harm blacks considerably more than they help them.
A glaring example is the near-universal opposition of civil rights groups to school choice despite the fact that black Americans overwhelmingly support it. According to a 2023 RealClear Opinion Research poll, 73% of blacks support school choice -- two points more than whites. They do so because large majorities of black students in public schools perform far below grade-level standards.
The reason the largest civil rights organization, the NAACP, opposes school choice has nothing to do with concern for blacks. It is that the left-wing position -- again, the NAACP is a left-wing organization -- on school choice is dictated by teachers unions.
Other civil rights organizations' positions that harm blacks include labeling as "racist" the most effective solution to racism: widespread colorblindness; supporting separate dorms and graduations for black college students; and support for lowering academic and professional standards to facilitate black advancement.
Feminist Organizations
Feminist organizations are additional examples of essentially left-wing organizations. The group they use to attain and retain power is women. Just as other left-wing interest groups, they harm the group on whose behalf they allegedly fight -- in this case, women -- far more than they help them.
