Now Why Would the Teachers Unions Be Ready to Negotiate on Masking?

It would appear that Randi Weingarten, the head of one of the largest teachers unions in the country, is open to starting the discussion on easing out of masking in schools. At least, that’s the implication of a particular quote from a New York Times opinion piece making the rounds last night.
Weingarten is one of the most powerful women in public education. Her organization, the American Federation of Teachers, commands enough influence in Democratic politics that she and her organization guided the U.S. government’s talking points on how schools should handle the COVID-19 crisis after they were asked by the Biden administration for their assistance.
In other words, she and her organization are at least partially responsible for many local school districts shutting down during the pandemic and adopting virtual education. They have a hand in lagging scores, delayed educational development, and delayed social and emotional development in your children. They are a large part of why kids are still having to wear masks in many schools.
They stood by that, claiming the whole way through that it was about what was best for the students despite us knowing now (and strongly suspected going in) that this would do more harm than good.
