From Tuesday, Dec. 8 show.
The Chicago teachers union says opening schools up again is racist. However, lockdowns have disproportionately had a negative effect on minority students.
You aren’t allowed to give credit to the other side even/especially when it‘s exactly what you want.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten doesn’t want people to know that she once expressed support for Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s (R.) school funding plan.
Weingarten deleted atweet praising Ducey’s plan ahead of her visit to Arizona this week since she is now supporting a Democratic challenger to Ducey, Steve Farley. In January, she said Ducey’s plan for K-12 education was “good news for Arizona.”
“Good news for Arizona!” she tweeted. “Gov. Doug Ducey just said he plans to add $100 million in new K-12 education funding this year as a down-payment on the full restoration of a school capital funding formula that was slashed during the Great Recession.”
I’ve highlighted how this plays out in the Clark County School District in Nevada several times on my show over the years.
A Project Veritas undercover investigation, recorded on March 27th 2018, has shown Hamilton Township Education Association President, David Perry, detail the steps the teacher’s union would take to protect a teacher who physically abused and threatened middle school students from losing their job.
Dr. Perry says he would misrepresent the events of altercations between teachers and students by back-dating reports and instructed the teacher to not tell anybody about incidents with students.
By failing to report this incident, Dr. Perry may have broken the law. According to New Jersey’s Department of Children and Families, “In New Jersey, any person having reasonable cause to believe a child has been subjected to abuse or acts of abuse should immediately report this information…”
The union president also stressed that a teacher who abuses his students needs to come to the union after any incident so that they can create a report that would best protect them from students that come forward about abuse.
