“I mean, there is a reason why Putin said that wars are won by teachers.”

Randi Weingarten, the head of the largest teacher union in the country, recently implied on MSNBC that the United States is currently under Nazi occupation. So much for lowering the temperature, right?

This nonsense is even more offensive coming from Weingarten, considering she supposedly represents educators.

AFT boss Randi Weingarten suggests U.S. under ‘Nazi occupation’ with latest protest symbol

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) boss Randi Weingarten hinted the U.S. was under “Nazi occupation” by wearing a paper clip during her interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday.

Weingarten promoted her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers,” which she described as a warning against fascism that she argued was already occurring in the U.S.

“Who are the heroes? Who are the antidote? Who are the hope agents and their teachers? I mean, there is a reason why Putin said that wars are won by teachers. There is a reason why in Norway, when the Nazis took over Norway, that’s why I’m wearing this paper clip,” Weingarten said, pointing to her paper clips.

She continued, “I wear two things now: the American flag — no one can take patriotism away from me — and a paper clip. What did the teachers in Norway do when there was the Nazi occupation? They started wearing paper clips. Kids started wearing paper clips. Why? To bind people together as a community.”

This reminds me of the photos from Trump's Madison Square Garden rally that the Democrats vilifed as a "Nazi rally" because back in the day the German-American Bund had rented the same venue.  The sea of mixed American and Israeli flags was captions "Worst Nazi Rally Ever".

If we've got Nazis they're the leftist denizens of the "tentifada" on Ivy League campus last academic year, not anyone in the Trump administration (though on the right Tucker Carlson has been at least flirting with old-style the-Jews-control-everything antisemitism, if not actually adopting it a position).

'Nazi' is a rhetorical gag reflex of Marxists when confronted.

Americans want their children to be happy, healthy, literate, and employable.

LGBTQ+ propaganda and Global Climate Change Marxism in the schools does not contribute to those goals.  It just produces radicalized, unemployable pains-in-the-@$$es.  Let the kids go to private liberal arts colleges for that nonsense, not public schools and not public universities.

Mr. Weingarten shouldn't’ refer to his army of union stormtroopers as a Nazi Occupation.
