Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, played a major role in spearheading the movement to shut down schools and keep them closed for as long as possible. Despite lacking medical or teaching expertise, she helped develop draconian guidelines with the CDC that kept schools closed for months, and in some cases, over a year. The level of influence unions have in a school district directly correlates with the length of school closures. It's no wonder that many people are calling her an evil liar. If you're not following Pradeep on Twitter, you're missing out. And while you're at it, follow me too!\n\n<h2>Randi Weingarten: The Evil Force Behind School Closures<\/h2>\n<p>During the pandemic, Randi Weingarten was one of the most powerful voices against reopening schools. She helped write the school closure guidelines and made them more draconian than any other country&#8217;s. She could even call the Director of the CDC at a moment&#8217;s notice and did.<\/p>\n<h3>No Science Involved<\/h3>\n<p>There was no science involved in the decisions. It was Weingarten pressuring the CDC and the CDC buckling to the demands.<\/p>\n<h3>Vicious to Critics<\/h3>\n<p>Weingarten was vicious to her critics throughout the pandemic, dismissive of parents who were desperate to get their kids back in school, and a leader of the political fight to use COVID as a political cudgel against Republicans.<\/p>\n<h3>Kids Are Resilient?<\/h3>\n<p>In response to concerns that keeping kids out of school would permanently harm their learning and their mental health, she had a simple response that she and others repeated constantly: kids are resilient. Remember that? Kids will just bounce back!<\/p>\n<p>They haven&#8217;t bounced back. Everybody now admits that school closures were an unmitigated disaster. Nobody&#8217;s life was saved, but millions of children have been permanently damaged. Anxiety, depression, suicide, drug abuse, learning loss&#8230;the list of horrible outcomes is endless.<\/p>\n<h3>Randi Did That<\/h3>\n<p>Randi did that. She was the evil force behind school closures, and millions of children will suffer the consequences for years to come.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Randi Weingarten is an Evil Liar<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to call out Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, for what she is: an evil liar. Weingarten has been pushing to keep schools closed, despite overwhelming evidence that in-person learning is crucial for children&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<h3>The Irony of Weingarten&#8217;s Position<\/h3>\n<p>This response, of course, carries a bitter irony. The very same people who are constantly telling us that we need to get to kids early because their brains are developing also tell us that being out of school and locked up at home is no big deal. We need Early Childhood Education right now starting as young as possible, but also if kids don\u2019t go to school at all they are \u201cresilient.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Weingarten&#8217;s Broken Promises<\/h3>\n<p>Back in 2021, President Biden put pressure on Weingarten to get teachers back in the classrooms, as the political negatives of school closures were becoming clear. Weingarten promised that she could deliver for him. But the reality was that the American Federation of Teachers unions were at the forefront of the movement to keep schools closed. It was AFT locals in the largest cities that led the fight against reopening schools, and it was AFT locals who threatened strikes in 2022 to close schools as Omicron surged.<\/p>\n<p>Weingarten, when push came to shove, sided with school closures. As late as 2022, she was still pushing to keep schools closed, despite the overwhelming evidence that in-person learning is crucial for children&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Let Weingarten Get Away with It<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to hold Randi Weingarten accountable for her lies and her destructive policies. We need to demand that our schools reopen and that our children get the education they deserve. We can&#8217;t let Weingarten and her cronies stand in the way of our children&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Early Childhood Education is crucial for children&#8217;s development<\/li>\n<li>In-person learning is crucial for children&#8217;s development<\/li>\n<li>Weingarten promised to get teachers back in the classrooms, but failed to deliver<\/li>\n<li>AFT unions were at the forefront of the movement to keep schools closed<\/li>\n<li>Weingarten sided with school closures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/08\/us\/teachers-unions-covid-schools.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As late as 2022 Weingarten was still pushing to keep schools closed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Randi Weingarten is an Evil Liar<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not often that I use such strong language, but in this case, it\u2019s warranted. Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, is a liar. And not just any liar, but an evil one.<\/p>\n<p>She has been caught in a blatant lie about her stance on school closures during the pandemic. In an interview with the New York Times, she claimed that she had always been in favor of keeping schools open, even as others were pushing for closures. But a quick search of her Twitter feed shows that she was actually advocating for school closures as early as March 2020.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some of her tweets:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>March 11, 2020:<\/strong> \u201cWe need to close schools to stop the spread of coronavirus. It\u2019s the responsible thing to do.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>March 12, 2020:<\/strong> \u201cClosing schools is a difficult decision, but it\u2019s necessary to protect our students and communities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>March 13, 2020:<\/strong> \u201cWe support the decision to close schools and urge everyone to take this seriously.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, though, she has joined the Fauci brigade: people whose memories get clouded and whose recollection is that they were on the side of the angels, desperately trying to keep the country open as others recklessly shut things down. They were desperate to help people but helpless to stop the insanity.<\/p>\n<p>Weingarten literally said that as a 65-year-old she can\u2019t remember as she used to.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s the tweet:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" style=\"display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-6\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 416px; height: 573px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&#038;embedId=twitter-widget-6&#038;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbWl4ZWRfbWVkaWFfMTU4OTciOnsiYnVja2V0IjoidHJlYXRtZW50IiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19leHBlcmltZW50c19jb29raWVfZXhwaXJhdGlvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOjEyMDk2MDAsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0Zndfc2hvd19iaXJkd2F0Y2hfcGl2b3RzX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2R1cGxpY2F0ZV9zY3JpYmVzX3RvX3NldHRpbmdzIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd191c2VfcHJvZmlsZV9pbWFnZV9zaGFwZV9lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd192aWRlb19obHNfZHluYW1pY19tYW5pZmVzdHNfMTUwODIiOnsiYnVja2V0IjoidHJ1ZV9iaXRyYXRlIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19sZWdhY3lfdGltZWxpbmVfc3Vuc2V0Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6dHJ1ZSwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd190d2VldF9lZGl0X2Zyb250ZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&#038;frame=false&#038;hideCard=false&#038;hideThread=false&#038;id=1651302660329357312&#038;lang=en&#038;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fdavid-strom%2F2023%2F04%2F27%2Frandi-weingarten-is-an-evil-liar-n546713&#038;sessionId=50c24f131e31bd2d0017490035a4e8ee482eb48f&#038;siteScreenName=hotairblog&#038;theme=light&#038;widgetsVersion=aaf4084522e3a%3A1674595607486&#038;width=550px\" data-tweet-id=\"1651302660329357312\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that Weingarten is not to be trusted.

Back in 2021, President Biden put pressure on Weingarten to get teachers back in the classrooms, as the political negatives of school closures were becoming clear. Weingarten promised that she could deliver for him. But the reality was that the AFT unions were at the forefront of the movement to keep schools closed. It was AFT locals in the largest cities that led the fight against reopening schools, and it was AFT locals who threatened strikes in 2022 to close schools as Omicron surged.<\/p>\n<p>When push came to shove, Weingarten sided with school closures. Now, though, she has joined the Fauci brigade: people whose memories get clouded and whose recollection is that they were on the side of the angels, desperately trying to keep the country open as others recklessly shut things down. They were desperate to help people but helpless to stop the insanity.<\/p>\n<p>Weingarten literally said that as a 65-year-old, she can&#8217;t remember as she used to. But can we really believe her?<\/p>\n<h3>The Truth About Randi Weingarten<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Weingarten was still pushing to keep schools closed in 2022.<\/li>\n<li>The AFT unions were at the forefront of the movement to keep schools closed.<\/li>\n<li>AFT locals in the largest cities led the fight against reopening schools.<\/li>\n<li>Weingarten sided with school closures when push came to shove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to call Randi Weingarten out for what she is: an evil liar. Don&#8217;t let her rewrite history and pretend that she was on the right side of this issue. The truth is clear: she was willing to sacrifice the education and well-being of our children for her own political gain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" style=\"display: flex; max-width: 550px; width: 100%; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-5\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 416px; height: 417px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&#038;embedId=twitter-widget-5&#038;features=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&#038;frame=false&#038;hideCard=false&#038;hideThread=false&#038;id=1651342547158188033&#038;lang=en&#038;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com%2Fdavid-strom%2F2023%2F04%2F27%2Frandi-weingarten-is-an-evil-liar-n546713&#038;sessionId=50c24f131e31bd2d0017490035a4e8ee482eb48f&#038;siteScreenName=hotairblog&#038;theme=light&#038;widgetsVersion=aaf4084522e3a%3A1674595607486&#038;width=550px\" data-tweet-id=\"1651342547158188033\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by her lies. Randi Weingarten is not on the side of our children or our country. It&#8217;s time to hold her accountable for her actions and demand better for our schools and our future.<\/p>\n<h2>Remembering the Truth About Teachers&#8217; Unions<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to forget the truth about teachers&#8217; unions when we&#8217;re bombarded with messages about how they&#8217;re fighting for better education and fair treatment for teachers. But the reality is that these unions are often more concerned with their own power and influence than with the well-being of students or educators.<\/p>\n<p>One example of this is Randi Weingarten, the current president of the American Federation of Teachers. She likes to talk about how much she cares about students and teachers, but her actions tell a different story. She&#8217;s been caught lying about her own record and using her position to protect bad teachers instead of advocating for better education.<\/p>\n<h3>The Blunt Truth About Union Priorities<\/h3>\n<p>Al Shanker, a former president of the AFT, was much more honest about his priorities. He famously said, &#8220;When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that\u2019s when I\u2019ll start representing the interests of school children.&#8221; This quote sums up the reality of teachers&#8217; unions: they&#8217;re more concerned with their own power and influence than with the well-being of students or educators.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teachers&#8217; unions often protect bad teachers instead of advocating for better education.<\/li>\n<li>Union leaders like Randi Weingarten may talk about caring for students and teachers, but their actions tell a different story.<\/li>\n<li>Al Shanker&#8217;s famous quote reveals the true priorities of teachers&#8217; unions: their own power and influence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"my-4\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-300x250_7\" class=\"gpt-ad ad-250 text-center\">\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n      googletag.cmd.push(function () {\n        googletag.display(\"div-gpt-300x250_7\");\n        \/\/googletag.pubads().refresh([gptAdSlot[\"div-gpt-300x250_7\"]])\n      });\n    <\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/6177\/slm.hotair\/articles\/300x250_7_0__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none; width: 300px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thm-piano-promo\">\n<div class=\"tp-container-inner\" style=\"height: 592px; width: 416px;\">\n    <iframe id=\"offer_8fc7079be6075a19a4f5-0\" name=\"offer_8fc7079be6075a19a4f5-0\" title=\"offer_8fc7079be6075a19a4f5-0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"payment\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/buy.tinypass.com\/checkout\/template\/cacheableShow?aid=OnyZMk8rii&#038;templateId=OT5LA89DOW01&#038;offerId=fakeOfferId&#038;experienceId=EX2ZZAG0S22C&#038;iframeId=offer_8fc7079be6075a19a4f5-0&#038;displayMode=inline&#038;pianoIdUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fid.tinypass.com%2Fid%2F&#038;widget=template&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fhotair.com\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; width: 416px; height: 592px;\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does the headline sound harsh?
