NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: The president of the nation’s largest teachers union is facing backlash after calling President Donald Trump a «dictator» during a far-left activist conference call that promoted mass disruption and political organizing.
Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA), appeared on a Zoom event last week hosted by the Sunrise Movement titled «Roadmap to Political Revolution,» a mass organizing call aimed at opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), targeting Trump and phone-banking for a progressive congressional candidate.
«I’m honored to now introduce President Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association. Look, there’s no way we’re going to be able to stop fascism without organized labor,» Aru Shiney-Ajay, executive director of the Sunrise Movement and a former member of Students for Justice in Palestine, said as she introduced Pringle on the call, obtained by Fox News Digital.
During her remarks, Pringle told attendees that the NEA would leverage its 3 million members and thousands of local affiliates to «advocate,» «mobilize,» «litigate,» and «elect people» aligned with its political goals.

«NEA is one of this administration’s top targets,» Pringle said on the call, going on to label Trump a «dictator.»
«Dictators always come for educators,» she said, adding that teachers help students «question and analyze» and «fight and make this world a better place.»
Pringle added, «Together, we will demand that this administration stop scapegoating immigrants just so they can implement cruel and callous policies and occupy our communities.»
Pringle claimed that ICE is attempting to bring «fear and trauma into our schools» by «traveling through neighborhoods, wandering past schools, and following school buses.»
«They’ve even assaulted and detained educators and students on school grounds. Educators are seeing this damage every day.»
The Sunrise Movement is a far-left organization that vows to «force the government to end the era of fossil fuel elites, invest in Black, brown and working class communities, and create millions of good union jobs,» according to its website.

The core of the group’s mission is fighting for the Green New Deal. Sunrise Movement listed «four pillars» that are critical to the Green New Deal, including to «stop the climate crisis» and to «invest in racial and economic justice.»
Sunrise Movement’s far-left ties were enough to spark concern from the House Judiciary Committee Chairman in November, Fox News Digital first reported, particularly its links to Antifa, a movement the Trump administration has labeled a terrorist organization.
In a letter to Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the committee wrote, «Of particular concern, OSF has donated ‘at least $2 million’ to the Sunrise Movement, a group closely connected to Antifa. According to the Capital Research Center report, the Sunrise Movement ‘endorsed and solicited financial support for the Antifa-associated anarchist terrorists of the Stop Cop City / Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition’ which, in 2023, violently attacked law enforcement officers and utility workers constructing a training facility near Atlanta, Georgia for police officers and firefighters. During the siege, Antifa terrorists threw Molotov cocktails, bricks, and rocks at law enforcement officers, attempted to blind officers by shining lasers in their eyes, and set construction equipment and a police car on fire, among numerous other violent acts. Prosecutors later charged more than individuals with domestic terrorism due to the attacks.»
During the 2020 election season, the Sunrise Movement, whose website says it wants to «force the government to end the era of fossil fuel elites,» received nearly a third of its funding from the Soros-backed Democracy PAC and Sixteen-Thirty Fund, totaling $750,000.
«It is truly shocking that the head of the largest teachers union in the country, who is meant to represent the best interests of her members, would join in such a radical event — one that is openly calling to change the US political system, and to call for collective action and political activism,» North American Values Institute Director of Research Mika Hackner told Fox News Digital.
«Is it any wonder that we see activist teachers in the classroom when this is what is happening at the top?»
Fox News Digital reached out to the NEA and the Sunrise Movement for comment.
Fox News Digital has extensively reported in recent months on concerns from education experts about the far-left radical activism of teachers unions, including the NEA, as they continue to mobilize protests against Trump’s immigration policies.
Some, including Defending Education senior director of communications Erika Sanzi, have suggested that the NEA’s federal charter should be removed.

«Their federal charter was granted because they promised to ‘elevate the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching; and to promote the cause of education in the United States,’» Sanzi told Fox News Digital in November. «Seeing as their leadership — and by extension, the organization itself — has morphed into a far-left insane asylum that is actively destroying the cause of education, that charter is no longer defensible.»
In January, a whistle-blower in the NEA told Fox News Digital the organization is not focused on the needs of students and teachers, but rather on promoting far left agenda items.
«It’s a cult,» the NEA employee said. «It’s 100% a cult and if you don’t have their mindset, you’re the enemy.»

Iran’s senior clerics ‘exposed’ after building strike in Qom, succession choice looms

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senior Iranian clerics would have been left «exposed» after an Israeli airstrike hit a meeting place where they were supposed to be convening Tuesday — days after a strike leveled the Tehran compound of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a defense analyst has claimed.
The clerics, members of the Assembly of Experts, had reportedly planned to meet at the location in Qom to deliberate succession plans for Khamenei, who was killed in the strikes, according to The Times of Israel.
«This second strike would be another embarrassment to what has been left of the regime,» Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital.
«It indicates intelligence dominance and superiority because any movement is detected, meaning they would feel exposed,» Michael added.

«As of now, the leadership would feel insecure and hunted, with all of their plans collapsing one after another.»
«They would feel totally isolated and understand that the biggest risk might come from home — from a potential uprising next,» he added.
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin confirmed that the Israeli Air Force struck the building where senior clerics had planned to assemble, The Times of Israel reported.

It remains unclear how many of the 88 members were present at the time of the strike, according to an Israeli defense source cited by the outlet. The second strike on Iran’s leadership comes amid a broader military campaign.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, U.S. forces have struck more than 1,700 targets across Iran in the first 72 hours of Operation Epic Fury, according to a U.S. Central Command fact sheet.
The campaign is aimed at dismantling Iran’s security apparatus and neutralizing what officials describe as imminent threats.
According to U.S. Central Command, targets have included command-and-control centers, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Joint Headquarters, the IRGC Aerospace Forces headquarters, integrated air defense systems and ballistic missile sites.

«We need strategic patience and determination, and in several weeks most of the job will be accomplished,» Michael added. «Even if the regime does not collapse, Iran will not be like we used to know.

«I assume that the U.S. and Israel will establish a very robust monitoring mechanism that will enable them to react whenever the regime tries to reconstitute its military capacities again.»

Quiénes son los acusados y qué se sabe de cada uno
Vitor Hugo Oliveira Simonin es uno de los acusados por el abuso sexual. Está prófugo y es investigado por al menos otro caso similar. La víctima lo denunció como uno de los agresores.
El joven de 18 años es hijo de José Carlos Costa Simonin, subsecretario estatal de Gobernanza, Compliance y Gestión Administrativa, un área vinculada a la Secretaría de Desarrollo Social y Derechos Humanos de Río de Janeiro.
Además, es estudiante del Colégio Pedro II, uno de los más tradicionales de la ciudad. El investigador a cargo del caso confirmó que otra joven también lo denunció por abuso.
El abuso ocurrió en un departamento de Río de Janeiro a fines de enero. (Foto: gentileza g1).
Mattheus Verissimo Zoel Martins es el segundo de los señalados por el caso que estremece a Copacabana desde hace algunas horas. Actualmente, está detenido.
Se trata de un exalumno del colegio Intellectus (sede Botafogo) que terminó sus estudios hace dos años. Según la Liga Niteroiense de Deportes, es jugador del S.C. Humaitá en la categoría sub-20.
La policía lo investiga por otro caso de abuso sexual colectivo: el lunes, otra joven denunció haber sido abusada por al menos dos de los acusados del caso Copacabana.
Según su relato, el hecho ocurrió cuando tenía 14 años (hoy tiene 17). La adolescente contó que fue invitada a la casa de Mattheus, donde él y un menor de edad habrían participado en la agresión, grabado imágenes y difundido el material.

El club anunció su suspensión inmediata y la rescisión de su contrato tras la orden de detención. João Gabriel se entregó y fue detenido el martes. La policía busca a cuatro jóvenes por el abuso sexual de una adolescente en Copaabana. (Foto: gentileza g1).
Bruno Felipe dos Santos Allegretti es el cuarto señalado por la víctima como uno de los agresores. También está prófugo desde hace varias horas.
El joven de 18 años es estudiante de Ciencias Ambientales en la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro (Unirio), que lo suspendió por 120 días.
Durante ese período, tiene prohibido ingresar a cualquier espacio de la universidad, incluyendo aulas y laboratorios.
Un menor de edad
La causa también involucra a un menor de edad, estudiante del Colégio Pedro II, que sería quien concretó la cita con la víctima. Su identidad no fue revelada y, hasta el último reporte, no existía una orden de detención en su contra.
Qué declaró la víctima
Según la investigación, la víctima fue invitada la noche del 31 de enero por un compañero de escuela, menor de edad y con quien había tenido una relación previa, a la casa de un amigo ubicada sobre la calle Ministro Viveiros de Castro.
En su testimonio, la adolescente contó que, en el ascensor, el chico le advirtió que habría más personas en el lugar y le sugirió que harían “algo diferente”. Ella rechazó esa propuesta.
Ya dentro del departamento, la joven fue llevada a una habitación. Mientras mantenía relaciones con el adolescente, otros cuatro jóvenes ingresaron al cuarto.

La Justicia de Río de Janeiro ordenó la detención de cinco jóvenes.
La víctima declaró que, ante la insistencia del menor, aceptó que los amigos permanecieran en la habitación, pero pidió expresamente que no la tocaran. Sin embargo, según denunció, los jóvenes se desnudaron, la besaron, la manosearon y la violaron.
Además, la adolescente afirmó que recibió golpes, cachetadas, puñetazos y una patada en el abdomen. Intentó salir de la habitación, pero se lo impidieron.
El avance de la investigación y el impacto social
El caso sigue en investigación y la policía no descarta nuevas detenciones o imputaciones. La repercusión fue inmediata: instituciones educativas y deportivas tomaron medidas disciplinarias y la sociedad exige justicia.
