The Biden administration announced new members of its school safety board this week, including Randi Weingarten, the teachers' union head who backed school closures throughout the pandemic.
The Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council, which makes recommendations on safety concerns in schools, received 20 new appointments this week including Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers. DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has faced Republican pushback for his response to the ongoing border crisis, announced the selections this week.
"Leaders of our academic institutions and campus life have a great deal to offer in helping us counter the evolving and emerging threats to the homeland," Mayorkas said in a statement. The group advises on campus safety, its website says.
Weingarten has long faced criticism for her role in government lockdowns. She was recently called out by political commentator and father Scott Jennings for denying her responsibility in prolonging school closures.
