The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is directly responsible for policies that have undermined years of education for American children, and not just during the COIVD plandemic. So, what does the union president do?
Randi Weingarten travels to Ukraine to meet with union leaders there.
Why?
“…to offer solidarity and support in the face of relentless attacks that have forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee the country’s east,”” Fox News reported.
“The AFT was invited by the Ukrainian teachers union, the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers, to bear witness and call attention to the effects on children, families and educators and the impact of Russia’s attacks on democracy and democratic institutions,” the press release explained.”
And with some creative editing on my part, we get this.
“The AFT was invited by parents, to bear witness and call attention to the effects on children, families, and educators and the impact of the Democrat Party and Teacher’s Union policy on American Education, but declined, calling them domestic terrorists, instead.”
I’m sure the union has a political interest in reinforcing the Democrat party’s use of Ukraine as another taxpayer-funded laundromat. I feel confident that is the only reason she is there. Create a press event for the complicit media to peddle. But the optics are lousy, even if she is there for other reasons.
Schools in America were in trouble before the public school lockouts. And while online learning is an excellent tool for some kids, the unions and government schools turned it into the alien abduction conspiracy equivalent of lost time. Students woke up after two years of “distance learning” with few, if any, new skills.
They were left behind while teachers and unions collected pay and benefits many of their parents lost due to similar policies.
Randi should be visiting the front lines in the war zones of Chicago, Los Angeles, and Baltimore, not Kyiv and Lviv.
