As if we need confirmation, the president of one of the country’s largest teachers’ unions took to Twitter this week to let us know that educators, to a shocking degree, don’t care about their students.
The head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, actually flouted school re-openings and the coronavirus mitigation measures she and others claim so strongly to care about for all the world to see.
The influential Weingarten posted an image of herself online apparently in New Mexico to show that her and other union officials have no issue with gathering in close spaces — as long as those spaces aren’t classrooms.
A selfie is worth a thousand words.
“So great to finish the day in New Mexico with our great leaders,” Weingarten wrote alongside an image of what appeared to be AFT New Mexico delegates.
In a follow-up tweet posted on Friday, the union boss shared that she had been working with others on how to safely open schools in New Mexico.
“I just had a fantastic school visit in New Mexico. Stapleton Elementary has done reopening for in-person learning right. I just described it here. We want our kids in school- safely & equitably,” she wrote.
Don’t bother watching this woman’s video; it is nothing more than political theatre. She’s not afraid of teachers catching the coronavirus and dying — obviously.
