‘Serious concern’ about Jew-hatred in largest US labor union, Senate panel finds
There is a “distinct and serious concern” about how the National Education Association, the largest U.S. labor union, treats its Jewish members, according to a report that the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions released on Wednesday.“Children are struggling to read and to do basic math,” stated Sen.
