Randi is a giant reason as to why our public schools rank among the worst in the WORLD ! Imagine if you will a school system that was the best public education system in the world in 1980 and then the DOE took over Federally + Randi Weingarten then became the president of a newly formed NTA and 40+ years later we are 47th and headed down further and she blames the parents !!!

If you want any industry to fail, just let the government get their hands on it. It is a truism. They have the reverse Midas touch wherein everything that they touch turns to shit.

Has Randi been that great for the teachers she represents? Unions are in place to suppress the wages of the best members. I believe the saying goes: Unions, so the best of us can support the rest of us. I bet there are a lot of really talented, dedicated educators out there that are tired of being buried under oppressive rules meant only to prevent education. Then they get exactly the same raise as the teacher that just barely phones it in.

Then there are the students. My son is working very hard with his 4th grade daughter on her math skills. (It is obvious why those preventing education want to obliterate math skills) The young lady is very bright and has decided that she enjoys math. She said math helps her see the world in a different way. Weighty thoughts for a 9 year old. The teacher's union would never approve of a classroom curriculum that teaches math skills to the ability of the smart students. Think Kurt Vonnegut and Harrison Bergeron. They want us dead and see enforced ignorance as a potent weapon.

She could never make it in private industry with her track record.

Spot on! Now she claims she wanted kids back in school in April of 2020. See this news clip debunking her (start at 3:20 but the whole report is interesting)

She is a horrible power-hungry sociopath whose head is full of delusion. She represents the overeducated, angry, Liberal woman who acts with no deference to logic or tradition.

The dismantling still has to be approved by Congress in order to take effect. If it doesn't get 60 votes to be approved, the D.O.E. will then live to see another day. I say I'm hopeful, but not so fast, yet.
