Vermont Teachers Union Pushes Gender Identity in Sports, Raises Alarms About ‘White Privilege’– www.dailysignal.com

EXCERPT:
The Vermont teachers union formally recognizes students’ right to play sports based on “gender identity,” rather than biological sex.
The National Education Association Vermont chapter also asserts that the state’s public school teachers must acknowledge the nation’s “white supremacy culture” as responsible for “white privilege” that is “conferred irrespective of wealth, gender, and other factors.”
It also supports sanctuary jurisdictions for illegal immigrants.
The parental advocacy group Defending Education obtained a list of resolutions adopted at the Vermont NEA 2025 Representative Assembly.
“The fact that the state-level teachers union requires its members to ‘acknowledge’ that white supremacy culture permeates society shows just how ideologically captured the organization is,” Rhyen Staley, director of research at Defending Education, told the Daily Signal in a statement.
“It should be deeply concerning for parents that members of the union are to accept the far-left conspiracy theory and to become activists while roughly half of the state’s third graders are reading at below-proficient levels.” Staley added.
One resolution was a “Gender Equity in Athletic Programs” resolution.
