The head of America's second-largest teacher's union walked back her criticism of Florida's governor less than 24 hours after she said 'millions' would die because of his COVID-19 'ignorance.' Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, retweeted a Washington Post article about anti-Dr. Anthony Fauci merchandise being sold on the Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis's official website.'Disgusting. Millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis’ ignorance and he’s choosing to profit from it. He doesn’t care about Floridians; he cares about furthering his own cruel agenda,' Weingarten tweeted.

Wouldn't one begin to wonder if the teachers of our most precious resource be precluded from having a union? Teaching is supposed to be one of the most noble professions but after looking at and listening to the leader, I think great damage has been done to that image.

This commie is one of the biggest reasons we have at least a generation of America hating mutants that were turned out of the public school system. She need a good neck stretching with a stout rope. DeSantis has been proven right over and over. His instinct was to open his state earlier than most others, and he was right. He saw this crap for what it was early.

If you believe the CDC, approximately 600,000 Americans have died from Covid in the last 18 months. That is in the entire country. And we all know that a strong majority of those were old and sick people, who probably died from something else but just happened to have Covid when they died. Yet this "Einstein" said that millions are going to die in Florida alone, even though the virus is massively waning, and a large chunk of the population is vaccinated there and/or already had Covid, got over it, and have antibodies to keep it from happening again. And lie-berals wonder why nobody ever takes them seriously!!!

The teacher unions are responsible for the deaths of thousands of our children due to depression and suicide, when they refused to do their job and instead insisted on distance learning, keeping the kids isolated and depressed. Their covid hysteria was just plain ridiculous.

#7, the CDC quietly admitted a few months ago that only 6% of the deaths reported were actually deaths FROM covid and all the rest were deaths WITH covid. 6% of 600,000 = 36,000, which is about a third of the number of annual flu deaths. We’ve been scammed by the world’s most evil people.

And her "wife" is just as beautiful. She was the head of the teacher's union in NYC --- when I lived there --- and she was a disgusting & vicious piece of garbage back then even before she got kicked upstairs to the national level. When the teachers went on strike, a reporter asked: "But what about the children?" and old Randi said: "They need their own union, I'm just representing the teachers."

At least the teachers union has stopped pretending ‘it’s all about the children’. It’s all about them and their liberal brainwashing agenda. I don’t think all teachers feel this way but the union has highjacked the profession. They need to be reined in. They are mainly government employees and should be answerable to the tax payers.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.
