Politicized Schools, Not Parents\">school choice activist<\/a>, reflects on the implications of her exit, signaling potential shifts within the educational and political landscape. Weingarten had been influential in advocating for policies that many believe negatively impacted children&#8217;s education, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic when she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cardonas-tenure-as-education-sec-was-a-masterclass-in-failure\/\" title=\"Cardona&#039;s Tenure As ...

DeAngelis highlights that despite Weingarten&#8217;s resignation, the National Education Association (NEA) remains closely tied to the democratic Party through its leadership and financial contributions. <\/p>\n<p>The piece concludes by advocating for school choice and homeschooling as essential to combat the perceived corruption within the traditional educational system and warns against the dangers of the current educational trends, stressing the importance of vigilance among parents and students.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Famous far-left union boss Randi Weingarten&rsquo;s departure from the Democratic National Committee shows there is still a strong liberal radicalism casting a cloud over education, and over politics as well.<\/p>\n<p>In a Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/person\/d\/corey-deangelis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece<\/a> for Fox News, school choice activist Corey DeAngelis explained what it means for America now that the American Federation of Teachers leader is moving on from the DNC after 23 years.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For over two decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/woke-head-teachers-union-told-revisit-schoolhouse-rock-posting-must-read\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weingarten<\/a> wielded influence as an at-large member at the DNC, stepping aside only recently on June 5, 2025,&rdquo; the piece said. &ldquo;In her resignation letter to the new party chairman, she said &lsquo;I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/powerful-teachers-union-chief-said-trump-admin-undermined-ukraine-gets-hit-facts-hurry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weingarten&rsquo;s<\/a> push to keep schools closed during COVID despite the immense damage it did to the mental health, academic progress, and work ethic of America&rsquo;s children was appalling.

Union dues, often extracted from taxpayer-funded teacher salaries, flow into Democratic coffers &mdash; a financial pipeline that&rsquo;s borderline money laundering.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Union dues were one of the biggest sins they committed against the few honest teachers we still have left. They used to forcibly garner teachers&rsquo; pay, then funnel it to liberal politicians. Choice was removed. Individuality was not tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>This writer even personally saw teachers who were not pro-union get socially shunned by their colleagues in public high school. Thankfully, the Supreme Court rectified forced union dues by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/cases\/case-files\/janus-v-american-federation-state-county-municipal-employees-council-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finding this practice violated<\/a> the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Children and teachers are just pawns,&rdquo; DeAngelis noted.<\/p>\n<p>The taxpayers supply the teachers&rsquo; salaries and try to stay involved, but for what? To have their children come home with a hatred for America? To have teachers telling their kids Trump is the devil? To find out educators are sneaking behind parents&rsquo; backs to discuss sex with minors and encourage them to change genders?<\/p>\n<p>This sickness knows no bounds. We&rsquo;re talking about the future here. Children eventually grow up. Under this type of corrupt leviathan, what sort of adults can we expect to be leading fields like medicine, politics, business, and law enforcement within 20 years?<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The unions&rsquo; loyalty runs deeper than cash,&rdquo; DeAngelis added. &ldquo;Their priorities &mdash;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/supreme-court-hands-catholic-nuns-win-abortion-battle-new-york-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion rights<\/a>, climate activism, identity politics &mdash; mirror Democratic talking points.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He added that &ldquo;union offices double as training grounds for Democratic activists.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Some may think this is an exaggeration, but seeing is believing. Look no further than YouTube videos of certain school board meetings or hidden camera footage from classrooms. Even the social media accounts for certain teachers themselves are horrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Something has been seriously wrong for a long time. DeAngelis rightly identified the remedy as &ldquo;school choice and homeschooling.&rdquo; This course is the only way to break the stranglehold currently suffocating the nation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/top-democrats-response-muslim-socialists-nyc-win-shows-exactly-party-headed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrats<\/a> fight homeschooling and charter institutions tooth and nail, however, because they know how <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >important conventional government schools<\/a> are to the future of their party.

In a Fox News opinion article, school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis discussed the implications of her departure after 23 years. He noted that Weingarten had significant sway as an at-large DNC member until her resignation on June 5, 2025, where she acknowledged being out of sync with the party&#8217;s current leadership. Her insistence on keeping schools closed during COVID-19 had detrimental effects on children&#8217;s mental health and academic progress. DeAngelis criticized teachers&#8217; unions for their close ties to the Democratic Party and their role in promoting liberal agendas while benefiting from taxpayer funding. Despite Weingarten&#8217;s exit, NEA President Becky Pringle remains entrenched within the DNC framework. DeAngelis pointed out that unions often funnel substantial contributions to Democrats and have historically coerced teachers into supporting liberal politicians against their will.
