Tudor Dixon sits down with Nicki Neily, President and Founder of Parents Defending Education, to unpack their explosive new 10-year report on where teachers union dues are really going. Spoiler: it’s not classrooms, salaries, or fixing learning loss.

Discover how over one billion dollars in taxpayer-funded dues from teachers across America is being funneled into far-left political causes — fighting school choice, bankrolling radical candidates, Planned Parenthood, the Trevor Project, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and multimillion-dollar PACs. From half-a-million dollars spent on Virginia’s gubernatorial race to $1.3 million on a single Los Angeles school board contest, the numbers are staggering.

Nicki reveals the peer pressure and professional retaliation teachers face if they opt out, why unions prioritize power over kids, and how this “dark money” machine is shaping ballots, protests, curriculum battles, and even anti-Semitism controversies — all while claiming it’s “for the teachers.”

If you’ve ever wondered why your tax dollars are fueling political activism instead of better schools, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with every parent and teacher you know.
