National teachers union president says 'radicalized Supreme Court' delivered a 'gut punch' against

abortion rights, separation of church and state

The head of a politically powerful, 3-million-member teachers union blamed a "radicalized Supreme Court" for decisions that she said unravel abortion rights, undermine the separation of church and state, and that do not reflect the views or values of most Americans.

National Education Association President Becky Pringle, whose union is the largest in the nation, said the stage was set in the 2016 election for Supreme Court decisions that "move us further away from the promise of America for all Americans."

She pledged to use the union's political might against candidates who refuse to keep schools safe but ask teachers to "take up arms," refuse to pay teachers as professionals, fuel inequities that undermine student learning, or work to "disinvest and destroy" public schools.

"This November, if you get in the way of our progress toward a more just nation, we will get in the way of your election," she said to applause on Sunday during the union's Representative Assembly in Chicago.
