Randi Weingarten is the reprehensible head of the American Federation of Teachers who, last year, told America that teachers were “exhausted.” She got raked over hot coals by parents who reminded Weingarten that their children were “zooming” about eight hours, a week, with her “exhausted” teachers. Parents were not impressed with her virtue-signaling.
She pushed to keep masks on children when the science was clear — that children were, by and large, at the very lowest of risk groups.
Weingarten has had a fairly uninterrupted streak of being wrong for close to two years. Last year, she was still advocating for schools to remain closed and to disinfect an entire school over one COVID case, even though the science was clear that surface transmission was almost nonexistent.
She frequently engaged in non-answer word-salads that would make Kamala Harris blush.
Weingarten hilariously acted as a “school opening” champ while advocating for schools to remain closed. It was all “for the kids,” when it was all for unionized teachers. In short, she’s awful.
Now that public schools have reopened and for the most part, dumped worthless masking that she advocated for, Weingarten has now moved into another area to get wrong: Geopolitical virtue-signaling.
On Wednesday, Weingarten posted a photo of her with her VP, who appears to be moonlighting as Cruella DeVille. Both are holding a “We stand with Ukraine” flag sign. Except that isn’t the Ukraine flag colors. The colors are reversed.
a TEACHERS union, @AFTunion, printed the #Ukranian flag upside down for their political grandstanding…and then horribly photoshopped the picture hoping you wouldn't catch it. These people are why our public school system blows. I circled the best effort prize. pic.twitter.com/djXgyRFypu

Not to be outdone. The people who want to tell you how to educate your children on sex, gender, and geopolitics decided to post a horribly photoshopped photo of them holding the same wrong sign – but they “fixed it” with someone’s six-year-old layering in the “right colors.” The fact that they needed to virtue-signal outweighed the fact that they all had the signs wrong.
Weingarten also tweeted about Ukraine, and misspelled Ukraine.

Her VP was doing yeoman’s work on virtue-signaling, while Weingarten was misspelling Ukraine, and retweeting the “Don’t Say Gay” lie:

No worries America – we have top people in charge of public school teacher unions. They virtue-signal with the best. Top, top people.
