National PTA, a household name in education, has veered so far away from
its original purpose that its reputation no longer stands on its own.
Its sad, but dangerous, transformation has ominous implications for
parents and good teachers, and especially for youngsters in our schools.
The organization can no longer rely on word-of-mouth support from
parents and teachers, so it has gone to social messaging and
sloganeering to push such phrases as “every child, one voice,” a soft
placation to parents implying the PTA supports all children. The sad
fact is, the new PTA doesn’t.
So why is a parent teacher association trying to project an image
through slogans and tag lines? We can learn much by just following the
money. PTA derives much of its income from sources that lean heavily on
it to represent their left-wing views. And as it’s proven in recent
years, it doesn’t need much encouragement.
The No. 1 beneficiaries of PTA’s influence are the national teachers
unions, which are far-left political fundraising organizations that are
not only not real unions but don’t represent teachers.
And who really supports PTA? These same so-called teachers unions! And
shockingly, according to PTA’s 2021 annual report, highly controversial
partners include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the CDC
Foundation, Google, Facebook, and TikTok. Such partner support makes up
a staggering 66% of National PTA’s revenue. Alas, one would be
hard-pressed even to call PTA a membership organization anymore.
So, when did this membership-run PTA take a detour?
There was a mass exodus from PTA in the 1970s as the unions were moving
PTA away from its principled family and teacher support and turning it
into a lobbying arm of the unions, according to Charlene Haar, author of
The Politics of the PTA.
Haar, who conducted internal research on PTA, reports that even the
unions themselves state frankly that teachers unions don’t have
credibility. Haar quotes a union leader who tellingly admitted, “The PTA
has credibility. That is why we always use the PTA as a front.”
The National Education Association and the American Federation of
Teachers forced National PTA into a “neutrality stance,” Haar stated. In
other words, PTA could not challenge or contradict any union politics,
positions, or laws.
So, PTA lost its independence. Through this forced “neutrality,” PTA was
rendered helpless to help “every child” and voiceless with its “one
voice,” but quite useful for broadcasting union-controlled, slick,
“trustworthy” messaging. It eventually propped up its union- and
partner-funded reputation with a huge advertising campaign of catchy,
endearing, and cunning slogans and trademarked tag lines.
PTA slogans are catchy, generally recognizable, and appealing — but
deceptive. For example, the slogan “125 Years of Advocating for
Children” is pure propaganda. PTA does “advocate,” but not to help or
protect children, nor to support their parents. Instead, it protects and
even publicly supports policies that harm children, such as allowing
boys to dominate girls’ sports and invade girls’ locker rooms.
PTA even coordinates with Planned Parenthood, the California Teachers
Association, and the ACLU, among other “highly political organizations,”
as noted by author Rebecca Friedrichs in her book Standing Up to
Goliath. Rather than supporting parents, it prevents them from
“demanding full transparency and protection for their children” in
relation to inappropriate, deviant, sexual content being inserted into
the curriculum at school.
According to Friedrichs, PTA recently supported the California Healthy
Youth Act, which “forbids parents the ‘opt-in’ authority before their
children are indoctrinated by inappropriate sex education curriculums.”
So, PTA shields and safeguards perverse, sexualized lessons being taught
to our children and purposefully ignores parents and traumatized
children who are forced to conform to such pornography.
Evidently, PTA doesn’t have any use for parent or teacher power.
And the most disturbing PTA slogan, “Changing Children’s Lives Since
1897,” is actually true. PTA is most certainly changing children:
transforming them into sexualized, social justice warriors who stand
ready to attack traditional values. By repeating diversity, equity, and
inclusion messaging, PTA is assisting in brainwashing our children to
absorb these terms into their subconscious.
National PTA isn’t protecting children, nor is it supporting parents or
teachers. It isn’t actually a parent teacher association at all. It has
lost its way.
