The National Education Association is facing an EEOC antisemitism complaint filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism, accusing the union of discrimination and tolerating a hostile environment for Jewish members. The complaint, filed April 29 on behalf of current and former NEA members, cites events during the union’s 2025 Representative Assembly in Portland, including allegations that enforcement against abusive behavior was not applied to conduct directed at Jewish delegates. The coalition also alleges threats to physical safety linked to the political climate. NEA is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and the charge cites both Title VII and the D.C. Human Rights Act, setting up a workplace compliance fight with broader implications for how educator unions address campus-adjacent climate and member protections.
