American Teachers Federation (AFT) President Randi Weingarten wrote Why fascists are afraid of teachers: public education and the future of democracyThe book, which he claims, will strengthen us and give us hope. The problem is that every word from the mouth of the boss of the Union is an indecent left flap.
You don’t have to buy a book to understand what I mean. IN interview with a sycophant in ProgressiveThe extremely left magazine, which includes politics and culture, Weingarten claims that “undermining public education is a deliberate strategy of law; they favor the privatization of the school.”
Evil. The reason why the majority of conservatives, the growing number of democrats, conducive to choosing parents, is that the government industrial intricate of the school/Union fails in their mission. On the latest naEP, record He obtained the percentage of secondary school seniors at the level “below basic” in mathematics and reading compared to all previous grades. No wonder that in Last survey63% Latinos and 68% black –Usually democrats– Support for a private option.
Weingarten senselessly does not want people on the right, whom he clearly calls fascists, support books and do not want youthful people to think for themselves, and she maintains that “relationships are at the forefront of expanding economic prosperity and strengthening democracy.”
It is worth noting that there is really nothing fresh here. Over the years, she carried out equally wrong comments. During a low edge to a journalist in 2018, she strangely stated that the relationships “actually make communities safer and …The right is at risk because of that. “She also said:” Privatization (school) and misinvestment are only slightly more polite cousins ​​of segregation. “
In fact, many Americans began not to trust the relationships of teachers whose leadership is grossly leftist, even though teachers are politically mixed. In July, the president of the National Education Association Becky Pringle He admitted that Nea’s membership is almost evenly divided between democrats, republicans and independent.
You can therefore assume that expenses at the teacher’s union would be proportional, but you are wrong. Very bad. As revealing open secrets, in 2024 Nea spent USD 22,744,023 on politics, with 98.24% going to democrats and destitute 1.76% going to Republicans.
The stern is even more unilateral. In the “Total contribution of the Recipient’s Party”, she said Weingarten in 2024. 3,069 063 USD (99.89%) for Democrats and not much USD 3323 (0.11%) for Republicans.
Recently a report Defense EDA group of parents’ rights, revealed many details about the political expenses of teaching relationships, stating that the leftist philanthropic giants, such as The Tides Network, New Venture Fund, sixteen thirty fund and the future striker-last is a leading super PAC supporting Kamala Harris in 2024. Presidential campaign in 2024. How former president Joe Biden expelled almost $ 1.5 million.
Unions also contributed to immense sums of money for groups that support leftist candidates for a public office, such as the Democratic Governors’ Association, most of the Democrat Chamber and PAC Senate.
Other recipients of their generosity are a major Left -wing think tanks Like the Center for American Progress, which from 2022 received almost a million dollars from both national associations.
Compounds at the level of state are not different. . Educational Association in Colorado He adopted a resolution against capitalism. This part of Nea, who represents about 40,000 teachers and employees, issued a statement with information that he believes “Capitalism uses children by naturePublic schools, land, labor and resources. “
In addition, teachers’ relationships are not allies of Jews.
AFT collects funds to organize assist in gas, which has established cooperation Agencies controlled by Hamas Like the Ministry of Social Development, led by the leader of Hamas and the Ghazi Hamad terrorist appointed by the USA.
Similarly, in the latest textbook, Nea states that there were “12 million victims Holocaust from various denominations, ethnic groups, breeds, political beliefs, gender and gender identification, skills/disability and other targeted features. “
The Union has never asked the Nazis about the extermination of the Jewish people. But at the same time, NEA’s textbook states that he would teach students with Nakba, who is described as “forced, violent displacement and the expropriation of at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 during the establishment of the Israeli state. “
At local level, united teachers Los Angeles are grossly anti -Semitic. Their leadership is pro-Palestinian, and the union was sued in 2024 by teachers who do not want to be represented by them because he is called to destroy the plaintiff’s religious homeland I “and” “promotes hostility and violence towards people of Jewish origin. “
Teachers’ relationships also support racial amounts. TEACHERS CALIFORNIA Association Association with Nea limits some selected representative positions In an organization for people who identify as “bipoc”, the acronym for “black, indigenous, colorful people”. Persons applying for the position of the organization “must be BIPOC”, says the group’s election textbook.
Nea policy requires every state “Attach BIPOC delegates in numbers proportional to the state population.
The Massachusetts Teachers Association, another Nea partner, similarly disqualifies white people from maintaining certain selected items because of their breed. The Council of Directors of the Organization reserves a position for “Director for Ethnic minority membership“Noticing that this term refers to those who are” Indian from American India/Alaska, Asian, native Hawaiian or other island of Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic and Cape Verdean. “
Then it is Michigan Education Associationwho states that the ruling council of the Council of Political Action must include “two members who identify as black, native or colorful person (bipoc).”
To sum up, teachers’ relationships are hungry for power. Support the redistribution of wealth and racial policy, show anti -Jewish moods, and to the Supreme Court Janus The decision in 2018 forced all public school teachers to pay contributions.
In addition to pushing the radical program, the teacher’s leaders are responsible for the provisions that prevent teachers from dismissing and require exemptions based on seniority. They also insisted on unnecessary and very harmful closures associated with Covid, along with other activities that were particularly harmful to minorities and the destitute.
So there is an extremism – or what Weingarten calls fascism – in our country. But instead of blaming those of us who support the choice of school and capitalism, Randi Weingarten must look at his own yard.
