Largest US teachers union mocked for misspelling ‘fascism' in anti-Trump agenda item: ‘Too rich to parody'
The nation's largest teachers union faced ridicule this week for misspelling 'fascism' in a resolution opposing President Trump. The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million teachers nationwide, approved the mangled proposal – aimed at defending 'the survival of civilization itself' – on Sunday at the group's annual convention. 'NEA pledges to defend democracy against Trump's embrace of fascism by using the term facism [sic] in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump's program and actions,' read the adopted agenda item, obtained by conservative education expert Corey A. DeAngelis, who shared it on X. 'The members and material resources of NEA must be committed to the defense of the democratic and educational conditions required by our hopes for a just society and the survival of civilization itself by stating the truth,' the wordy new business item continued. The document noted that calling out Trump's 'facism' [sic] in NEA materials 'cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources' because it would cost an additional $3,500 to do so. DeAngelis, and several people on social media, mocked the NEA over the spelling error. 'Yes, the union that claims to represent educators couldn't even spell 'fascism' correctly in its official resolution attacking the president,' he wrote in a Fox News opinion piece. 'The irony is almost too rich to parody.' Tina Descovich, the CEO and co-founder of conservative group Moms for Liberty, argued that the agenda item was emblematic of the dismal state of the American education system. 'If the largest teachers union can't define fascism properly we can all understand clearly why we are failing to teach children in schools,' Descovich wrote on X. 'Number one priority is not to teach reading and math but a political agenda.' 'It's infuriating.' Republican Washington State Rep. Jim Walsh described the resolution as a 'hysterical slander' of Trump and said it's apparent why some families opt to steer their children away from public schools. 'A political lobbying organization that claims to represent public school teachers misspells the key word in its hysterical slander of the current POTUS,' Walsh wrote on X. 'It's not spelled 'facism,' morons.' 'And you're not using the word correctly, anyway,' the state rep continued.'No wonder many families are homeschooling.' A teacher on the social media platform argued that 'It says a lot about NEA when they can't spell fascism correctly twice in one sentence.' 'Further, if any of my history students wrote 'in this essay, I will prove Person X was fascist by labelling him and his actions as fascist', I'd light the paper on fire,' the person added. The NEA did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

‘Inmates running the asylum': US teachers union slammed for pushing radical ideology
American Culture Project Senior Fellow Corey DeAngelis discusses the unhinged US teachers union named the National Education Association (NEA) and the ideology they are pushing onto children. 'They see this is a tool of indoctrination, they don't see the school system as a way to improve educational outcomes,' Mr DeAngelis told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'This was at the NEA Leadership Summit where they're basically having the inmates run the asylum. 'Do you want this person educating your kids? Do you want them teaching your children in a public school? Absolutely not.'

Fox Host Admits Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill Will ‘Run Up the Debt'
Fox News host Harris Faulkner admitted Tuesday that President Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill will 'run up the debt.' Faulkner, 59, made the concession while interviewing Fox Business analyst Jackie DeAngelis, who agreed that the megabill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday with Vice President JD Vance as the tiebreaker, 'definitely' has 'some issues.' DeAngelis explained the debt added by the Senate-amended version of the bill is 'substantially higher' than what the House narrowly passed last month, which was already too significant for some fiscal hawks—and Elon Musk—to stomach. 'Nobody wants to add to the national debt, especially with interest rates where they are,' DeAngelis noted. 'We already pay a trillion dollars a year to service that debt.' The 44-year-old host made clear she is not necessarily opposed to Trump's beloved bill. She said that the tax cuts included in it, which are primarily expected to benefit the ultra-wealthy, will be a boon to the U.S. economy. If true, she said that economic growth can eventually erase the multi-trillion-dollar deficit. 'If you are a student of Reagan economics and you think back to the '80s and Reagan's policies, which are very similar to Trump's, the answer to those folks is that we are going to grow our way out of it,' said DeAngelis. 'You stimulate the economy. You cut taxes for people and businesses. That gets the engine going. That pays for what they're saying will be added to the national debt.' Both hosts asserted that the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan analytical arm of Congress, cannot be trusted for accurate estimates of the U.S. economy and debt, citing instances where the office has made errors. The CBO estimates that the Senate version of Trump's bill will add $3.3 trillion to the U.S. budget deficit over the next decade, through 2034. DeAngelis reiterated her point that U.S. economic growth can offset the additional debt burden imposed by the mega bill. The CBO is not considering this hypothetical, she claimed. 'What they can do is crunch the numbers as they are right now,' she said. 'What they can't predict and what the Republicans can't give them is some tangible evidence of what the growth will be when all the policies go into place.' DeAngelis also claimed that the administration is finding or making money in all sorts of 'little places' that need to be considered. This, she said, comes from tariff revenue, DOGE cuts, and even Trump's 'Gold Card Program,' which grants foreigners who pay $5 million a visa to live and work in the United States. It would require the sale of more than 7 million gold cards—at $5 million apiece—to erase the current national debt, which is around $36 trillion as of Tuesday afternoon.

Martha's Vineyard ‘afraid' of losing low-cost labour following ICE raids
American Culture Project Senior Fellow Corey DeAngelis discusses the 'knee-jerk reaction' from elites residing in Martha's Vineyard after migrant workers were detained by ICE. 'They're afraid that they're not going to have their low-cost labour,' Mr DeAngelis told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'Now that Trump is trying to go the other way on the same issue and to deport immigrants from Martha's Vineyard, now all of a sudden, they come out with their Trump Derangement Syndrome. 'That's all this is – it's more of a political argument than anything else.'
