Teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten’s expression of anger outside of the Supreme Court prompted Twitter users to share their thoughts on the matter.
She delivered a speech outside the court in response to the opposition to the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan.
“And frankly, and this is what really pisses me off,” Weingarten said.
She added, “During the pandemic, we understood that small businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it didn’t go to the Supreme Court to challenge it. Big businesses were hurting, and we helped them, and it didn’t go to the Supreme Court to challenge it.”
Growing more emotional, Weingarten shouted, “All of a sudden, when it’s about our students, they challenge it, the corporations challenge it, the student loan lenders challenge it.”
Weingarten argued, “That is not right, that is not fair, and that is what we are fighting as well when we say cancel student debt.”
