Teacher Unions That Supported Covid Lockdowns Are Big Fans of Harris Running Mate Tim Walz
“The AFT was the first labor union to formally endorse Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Biden was pushed out of the race by his own party.”
Have you noticed that some of the worst people like Walz? Parents would be wise to consider their choices carefully in this election.
FOX News reports:
Harris’ VP pick Walz a big win for teachers’ unions that pushed schools to stay shuttered for over a year
Teachers’ unions rejoiced this week when Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, describing the left-wing ticket as a major win for public educators.
But critics are warning that Harris’ selection of Walz, a former teachers’ union member who is opposed to what he has described as the school choice “agenda,” over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a school-choice advocate, should raise alarm bells for parents and children in the public education system. The teachers’ union pushed hard to prolong school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic — many districts remained shuttered for over a year.
“Anyone who makes Randi this excited is a 5-alarm fire for parents and students,” former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said Tuesday after teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten posted a video of herself gushing over the Walz pick.
“We’re so excited,” Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), said of Walz. “We have known him for years as a social studies teacher, as a vet, as a union member, as a congressman, as a governor, he cares about working people. We’ve seen it.”
“A teacher and a unionist. Enough said,” wrote the Chicago Teachers Union, which is currently being sued by parents for its handling of the pandemic.
National Education Association (NEA) President Becky Pringle also praised Walz as an “exceptional choice.”
The AFT was the first labor union to formally endorse Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Biden was pushed out of the race by his own party. The United Federation of Teachers in New York City and the Washington Teachers’ Union also said they were “proud” to endorse Harris.

Please — let’s all continue to wean ourselves and our families away from these people — these too-often unwell people.
If you happened to come upon a group of intoxicated road-ragers, you’d avoid interacting with them, and hope to be able to get on your way.
That’s how we should regard pronouncements emanating from AFT and NEA, etc.
We’ve seen behind the curtain.
The jig is up.
The charade is over.
You don’t care more about our children than we do.
Good luck to you.
Best wishes.
Take care.
Bye.
The AFT is all for teachers earning more and more by doing less and less. They’re just grifters.
