Teachers’ Union Played Big Role in ‘No Kings’ Protests

“Imagine if Randi Weingarten fought half as hard to improve public education. Maybe then more than a quarter of American kids would be proficient in math.”

The repellent Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, who long ago abandoned any pretense of improving academic achievement in public education, was a key speaker at a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “No Kings” protest on Saturday.

Bouncing up and down spastically as if she were on a trampoline only she could see, Weingarten launched into a familiar litany of platitudes: “You are the community to this president’s chaos and together, we build a future of opportunity and justice for all. Hope over fear, aspiration over anger, the promise of America for each and every American. That is what we are fighting for today.”

Odd that the president of the second-largest teachers’ labor union in America would preside over a political rally? According to school choice activist Corey DeAngelis, “teachers’ unions are more invested in political activism than in prioritizing education.”

DeAngelis told The New York Post, “Their actions expose them as little more than an arm of the Democratic Party, pushing a radical agenda that puts taxpayers on the hook for funding the K-12 education of illegal immigrants.”

“Imagine if Randi Weingarten fought half as hard to improve public education. Maybe then more than a quarter of American kids would be proficient in math,” he added.

DeAngelis is right. Unfortunately, neither Weingarten nor the union she leads is all that concerned with childhood education. They’re far more focused on gaining and maintaining power for the Democratic Party, knowing full well the benefits, financial and otherwise, that come with it.

That’s why the AFT played such a major role in organizing and funding the No Kings protests. In fact, they provided an entire webpage of volunteer opportunities populated with related events.

All unions prefer having a Democratic president in the White House because it makes it easier for them to operate their grift, and the AFT is no exception.

Considering the incredible amount of misinformation and distortion necessary to justify, even in the liberal mind, these protests, it is a frightening thought, indeed, that these people are involved in educating American children.
