Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), kept children out of school during the COVID pandemic. Weingarten admitted that she knew remote learning wasn’t a substitute for in-school learning.
Gaslighting Randi is now saying it wasn’t her fault and claims she wanted schools reopened. If her actions weren’t so damaging to children, I’d laugh.
As usual, Lockdown Randi locked down replies to her tweet video (see below) so no one sees negative comments about her.
In the video she published, she claims she wanted kids back in school. She also insists that certain ‘safety’ protocols had to be met before students could return to in-person learning. The protocols were expensive, unrealistic, and agenda-driven, and she never stopped moving the goalposts.
It was impossible. She was impossible.
Randi caters to fDemocrats who give a lot of money to her organization. Her organization then gives lots of money to their campaigns if they support her demands.
In the clip, she shows her empty comments from May 3, 2020, through September 24, 2021, claiming the schools needed to reopen. She left out all the roadblocks she erected during those times.
Remember how she was responsible for the authoritarian guidelines the CDC published. The woman made it impossible to get rid of masks with “off-ramps” that didn’t exist. As a result, children weren’t developing empathy. From masking, to distancing, to acceptable community spread metrics, and extreme quarantines, to exorbitant money requests for left-wing programs, and demanding peer-reviewed studies that didn’t exist, she made it impossible. While she doesn’t make the rules, Biden agencies let her make the rules.
Republicans on the House Covid subcommittee want you to think I wanted to keep schools closed. Here’s what I actually said… over & over again. pic.twitter.com/TTWuYgC5nN

The democrat-teacher’s union relationship is incestuous, and it’s the children who suffer. I had a union leader once tell me he is only there for the teachers, and schools are for the teachers, not the children.
The Democrats helped stuff the @AFTunion‘s pockets with your hard-earned bucks while your kids sat home and became obese, anxious, and depressed.
Who cares about science? Or opening up schools? pic.twitter.com/quy97MRUZb

Back to Randi. She misled Congress [lied] and will be applauded for it and her Democrat party will protect her.
Here’s a rundown:
A lying Democrat!? A “teacher” who acts in her own (and her Union’s) best interests instead of the kids’ best interests!? No way! I don’t believe it…
She hasn’t a clue to what her job responsibilities are. Since the 1950s when unionisation of our educational system started, the quality of education has gone down hill and at this point is accelerating!!!
Thats what unions do. They consolidate power to cater to the whims of the laziest and greediest members of the workforce.
When is Congress going to have the Sergeant-at-Arms lock up people who lie to them and try them in a Court Friendly to the Republican Congress. The Congress should be able to designate a friendly Judge in a Friendly Court in a Red State as the court that tries people who run afoul of Congress. Congress may have the power to create it’s court to try these cases.
The Congress clearly has the Power to have the Sergeant-at-Arms “detain” someone who doesn’t appear for a Subpoena, so why can’t they try someone for lying if the DoJ refuses to? Both actions would be Contempt of Congress.
Just one trial would change the minds of Bureaucrats who think they are untouchable!
Questioning of her was far too easy and superficial. She should have been asked of the specific requirements she had to open schools. She should have been asked about who set those requirements, what were their backgrounds, and what data did they have to justify it. She was talking in code when she said she tried to reopen schools.
