“…the Democratic Party\u2019s internal debate on school closings was making room at the table for some truly unhinged ideas. The head of the largest state\u2019s most powerful teachers union insisted on the record \u201cthere is no such thing as learning loss\u201d and described plans to reopen schools as \u201ca recipe for propagating structural racism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cParents who advocated for school reopening were repeatedly demonized on social media as racist and mischaracterized as Trump supporters. Members of the parent group I helped lead were consistently attacked on Twitter and Facebook by two Oakland moms with ties to the teachers union. They labeled advocates\u2019 calls for schools reopening \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d called us \u201cKarens,\u201d and even bizarrely claimed we had allied ourselves with Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s transphobic agenda.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously the Democrats are in the pocket of the teachers’ unions.\u00a0 They sacrificed our children’s well being to placate the teachers.\u00a0 And it’s going to be one of the things that cost them seats in Congress this fall.\u00a0 Too bad it couldn’t see them prosecuted too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
