Teachers Unions AI DEI Indoctrination

A conservative opinion column by Betsy McCaughey, published across multiple outlets, alleges that the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are collaborating with AI providers Microsoft and Anthropic to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology into AI-generated classroom content. The column cites a report from the watchdog group Defending Education, claiming the unions aim to alter AI answers for political correctness rather than factual accuracy. It also criticizes union influence in education, citing declining test scores from the United States — National Assessment of Educational Progress, and advocates for state and local efforts to reduce union power, referencing actions by Donald Trump, the House and Senate, and various governors and candidates.
