Randi Weingarten Jet-Sets to Ukraine as American Schools StruggleBreccan F. Thies 10 Oct 2022
Teachers’ Union boss Randi Weingarten is taking a trip to Ukraine despite U.S. schools showing their worst academic results in 30 years.
“Woke up this am to reports of disgusting Russian missile strikes in Kyiv, Lviv & other cities. Heading to the border now to assess the situation,” the American Federation of Teachers president wrote on Twitter. “This Russian attempt to frighten civilians & the effect on children (who are learning online today) is why this [Ukraine flag emoji] trip is so important.”
https://twitter.com/rweingarten/status/1579414707949096960Weingarten pointed out that the children are “learning online” — implying a negative impact on learning — despite the fact that she and others on the far-left fought militantly to keep American children out of school and “learning online” for over two years during the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Weingarten, she was invited to the country “as part of the global labor movement’s commitment to assist the region’s educators in standing up for freedom and democracy while keeping refugee kids learning in perilous times.”
The union boss is joining pediatrician and activist Dr. Irwin Redlener, Karen Redlener, and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum to meet with students and teachers displaced by the war, according to a press release.
