Randi Weingarten, the head of the largest teacher union in the country, accidentally made the case for defunding teachers’ unions in a recent social media post.
While Weingarten whined, she awkwardly bounced around. Perhaps she was trying to convey passion, but instead, she just looked unhinged.
“We elect leaders to help working families thrive,” she said. “Our members do that every day.”
“But this Congress and this President have tried to pass a big, yes, it’s big, but very ugly bill that attacks our public schools and our health care.”
“Public education funding shouldn’t be used as a piggy bank for the wealthy. It’s wrong.”
“Our families deserve leaders who work for us, not against us.”
If only teachers’ unions would follow Randi’s advice.
Watch:
Public education funding shouldn’t be used as a piggy bank for the wealthy.

Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project, reminded her that unions use families as the piggy bank for their radical agenda and unloaded facts on Randi.

Earlier in June, Weingarten resigned from a longtime position she held at the Democratic National Committee. Her departure led to questions about why the head of the largest teacher union had a position at the DNC to begin with.
