Ipsos has been conducting surveys and polling for the ADL for over a decade. The survey was conducted by Ipsos.

=======================================

The NEA didn't "recently vote to cut ties with the ADL".

The National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, has endorsed a proposal to cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group focused on combatting antisemitism, according to an NEA spokesperson.

The proposal, titled New Business Item 39, was preliminarily adopted by union delegates at the 2025 Representative Assembly, which took place in Portland, Oregon, on July 5.

“In a narrow vote of over 6,000 NEA members at the 2025 NEA Representative Assembly, delegates voted to forward to the NEA Executive Committee a recommendation that the National Education Association not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) or participate in ADL programs,” an NEA spokesperson said Wednesday.

The proposal has not been officially adopted and has been referred to the NEA’s Executive Committee for consideration. The committee will then send its recommendation to the union’s Board of Directors, according to an NEA spokesperson.

A vote to consider a proposal to cut ties is not the same thing as voting to cut ties.

Why would anyone be running around saying that the NEA voted to cut ties with the ADL when that isn't what happened?
