Overview

  • On July 6, NEA delegates approved a resolution instructing educators to stop using, endorsing, or publicizing any ADL materials, including its curricular resources and statistics.
  • The resolution was designated a "sanction item" and forwarded to the NEA Executive Committee for final approval before implementation.
  • Delegates accused the ADL of weaponizing antisemitism claims to police pro-Palestinian and antiracist activism in schools.
  • The ADL denounced the decision as “profoundly disturbing” and affirmed its commitment to deliver antisemitism and Holocaust education nationwide.
  • CAIR hailed the move as a significant step toward safeguarding the rights and dignity of all students, highlighting deep rifts among civil rights organizations.
