This from a former teacher name withheld for protection and privacy, but a source
I believe to be most reliable.

The Oklahoma Education Association, a labor union, claims it represents educators.
In reality, it is an advocate for far-left causes, including abortion, gun control, and
far-left politicians, including Hillary Clinton.
The OEA is an affiliate of the National Education Association. When one joins the
OEA, he/she is automatically joining the NEA. Out of the $466 in OEA dues paid in
2017-18, a full $189 went to Washington, D.C. to the NEA to fund its far-left political
agenda. NEA membership is "unified," meaning one is not allowed to be a member of
just the OEA without also joining and funding the NEA.
The OEA's web site links directly to the NEA's "Legislative Action Center," where
OEA members are urged to contact the U.S. Senate in support of the "Background
Check Expansion Act," a major gun-control measure that the National Rifle
Association's Institute for Legislative Action has noted will require "a comprehensive
national registry of firearms."
A publication listing 2017–2018 NEA Resolutions includes one resolution that
declares, "The National Education Association believes in family planning, including
the right to reproductive freedom." The latter two words are a common euphemism
for abortion. NEA chief lobbyist and federal advocacy advisor Randall J. Moody served
on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund PAC as an original board member and treasurer
for three years.
The OEA/NEA endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, bragging that the union
"proudly" helped Clinton become the Democratic Party's 2016 presidential nominee
and touting its efforts to "organize and engage NEA members"—which includes all
OEA members—"to volunteer for Hillary."
