Teachers Union Head Randi Weingarten Says Kids Can’t Go Back To School Because Jews Have Too Much Privilege

By Jonathan S. Tobin

Teachers union president Randi Weingarten channels Marx calling Jews ‘privileged’ members of the ‘ownership class’ to justify the harm she’s doing to children.

What is motivating teachers unions to keep public schools closed for as long as possible?

We’ve constantly heard from the left about the need to “follow the science” in dealing with the coronavirus, as President Joe Biden has repeatedly pledged to do. Yet the gap between administration policies or even the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and the scientific facts about how the virus is spread is considerable.

Given that we’ve known since last summer that younger children are unlikely to spread the virus and that the CDC has made it clear that schools can safely reopen even without all teachers having been vaccinated, the stubborn refusal of public school teachers unions to agree to go back to the classrooms is puzzling.

Or at least it would be, if it weren’t so clearly in the interests of the unions to keep the teachers and students at home rather than in school. In doing so, these Democratic Party allies and funders have managed to increase their power over both school systems and politicians.

But when asked to respond to the complaints of parents about the damage they are doing to their children by insisting on keeping them home and dependent on Zoom rather than in-person teaching, the leader of one of the country’s most powerful unions responded in a manner that demonstrated how leftist woke ideology works.
