Teachers Unions Investigations 2018

In this undercover investigation, Hamilton Township Education Association President David Perry details the steps the teachers union would take to protect a teacher who physically abused and threatened middle school students from losing their job.

Dr. Perry says he would misrepresent the events of altercations between teachers and students by "bending the truth" and back-dating reports and instructed the teacher to not tell anybody about incidents with students.

The union president also stressed that a teacher who abuses his students needs to come to the union after any incident so that they can create a report that would best protect them from students that come forward about abuse.

In this undercover investigation, Union City Education Association President Kathleen Valencia explains that the union would protect a teacher who physically abused a "scumbag" student and the teacher would not lose his job.

Valencia says the teacher would be "fine" because the student is too scared to come forward. She also explains how the union would legally protect the teacher, stating “I’m going to get your brother a lawyer. Your brother’s not going to admit anything happened. The only witness is the scumbag kid… he’s got a record.”

She then tells the undercover journalist of a horrifying real-life scenario: “This file right here is from a teacher who had sex with a student. This file is about whether or not the teacher gets to keep his pension. Is he going to jail? No. How come? Because the child’s not pressing charges. There’s no proof.”

Project Veritas has released undercover footage and documents obtained from the American Federation of Teachers Michigan affiliate office in Lake City, which reveals that the union protected a teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct with a seven- or eight-year-old girl arose.

The now former teacher was never charged or arrested and denied the accusations against him, and did not lose his teaching certificate.

Undercover footage of AFT Union Representative, Johnny Mickles, reveals how AFT and the Lake City Michigan school district defended the alleged child molesting teacher. Redacted documents from the AFT office, available here, corroborate the events.

Nick Nugent, an NEA official in Michigan was caught on hidden camera. Once again, the union official is clearly more interested in protecting teachers than children. The video you are about to see and hear is troubling, our journalist, who says she is a teacher, tells the union official a story about a bloodied middle school student she “shoved.” The response, don’t report it and hope the student doesn’t either.

Project Veritas has released an investigation into the behavior of teacher’s union officials continues in Ohio. The scenario is relatively straightforward, our undercover journalist tells the union official his imaginary brother has had a violent altercation with a student. Once again, we hear encouragement that the brother will more than likely get away with the assault.

The undercover video shows Bill Siegferth, Tom Schmida, and David Romick – all current or former teachers union presidents –admitting that they have protected and defended union members that have abused students.
