- The leaked handouts instruct participants to use a “race, class, gender” narrative, to “name the villains,” and to characterize Republicans as deploying “racist dog whistles” and “transphobic tropes.”
- Materials provide workplace gender‑transition resources for educators, including sample transition plans, processes, and template emails announcing a transition.
- Guidance urges pronoun introductions in meetings, recommends pronoun pins for ID badges, and advises using “genders” to encourage more expansive attitudes.
- Suggested messaging on sports positions support for transgender women athletes as part of a broader fight for equality in girls’ and women’s athletics.
- Critics from Defending Education argue the NEA is prioritizing partisan advocacy over academic needs, and the reports note the union has not offered a substantive public response.
