Weingarten&#8217;s appointment has sparked controversy, as she has been criticized by Republicans for her support of school lockdowns during the pandemic, which has resulted in a significant decline in academic performance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Turns out that if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/teachers-union-boss-randi-weingarten-to-advise-dhs-on-school-safety\/\" title=\"Randi Weingarten, teachers union leader, to counsel DHS on school safety.\">call concerned parents domestic terrorists<\/a> and work tirelessly to keep schools closed, you qualify as an adviser to DHS,&#8221; said Erika Sanzi, the director of outreach for Parents Defending Education. &#8220;But this is a major red flag \u2014 Randi is hyper-political and her current posture is very anti-parent. Her role in recent years has been defined by lies and failure, so in that sense, she&#8217;ll be a perfect fit for the job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Weingarten&#8217;s advocacy for school closures has had detrimental effects on children, leading to learning loss, social and developmental setbacks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-year-old-girl-pepper-sprayed-during-interaction-with-rochester-police\/\" title=\"9-Year-Old Girl Pepper Sprayed During Interaction With Rochester Police\">mental health issues<\/a>. Despite the negative consequences, she has consistently pushed for school closures, impeded reopening efforts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/they-adapt-better-than-adults-do-ny-gov-hochul-defends-mask-mandates-for-kids\/\" title=\"\u2018They Adapt Better Than Adults Do\u2019: NY Gov Hochul Defends Mask Mandates For Kids\">supported mask mandates<\/a> for young children. Her influence on policy has been evident through her close contacts with the CDC.<\/p>\n<p>The Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council, tasked with providing recommendations on campus safety and security, has been announced by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The council&#8217;s members, including Weingarten, will play a crucial role in safeguarding the American people and preparing for future threats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Randi Weingarten chose appeasing teacher unions over getting students back in the classroom during the pandemic,&#8221; tweeted Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA). &#8220;Now, math and reading scores for the Nation\u2019s 13-year-olds are at the worst decline in decades.
