Randi Weingarten has taken to wearing a paper clip on her lapel as a bizarre symbol of her crusade against “fascism,” aka Donald Trump.
The president of the American Federation of Teachers is on tour to peddle her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” — yet another example of prioritizing poisonous politics over education from this Marxist fossil. Not to mention fattening her own wallet.
The paper clip, she likes to explain to anyone who will listen — mostly on MSNBC — symbolizes a Norwegian protest against Adolf Hitler in World War II.
“Teachers in Norway when there was Nazi occupation, they started wearing paper clips . . . to bind people together as community,” Weingarten told MSNBC.
Pretty subtle analogy there — less than three weeks after Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a young leftist of the sort radicalized in Weingarten’s classrooms who engraved anti-fascist messages on his bullets.
The fact she would continue with her “fascist” book tour after such a tragedy proves that her moral compass is badly awry.
Meanwhile, not a single child was found to be proficient in math and reading in 55 public schools in Chicago, according to 2024 state tests.
New York is not quite as bad but, still, two thirds of fourth-graders are not proficient in math and reading and 12th-grade scores have dropped to levels not seen since 1992 in reading and 2005 in math.
When US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon released the latest scores for eighth-grade science and 12th-grade reading and mathematics in the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress last month, she described...
“American students are testing at historic lows across all of K-12,” she said.
“Nearly half of America’s high school seniors are testing at below basic levels in math and reading.”

What a train wreck American public schools are at her helm!
When the leftists flip on her, which will be very soon, its going to be everything she deserves and much more out of spite from her peers.
The teachers unions have one priority, political power which can be used to garner higher teacher pay to continue their leftist indoctrination and keep the dues flowing.
No wonder our kids are so poorly educated, if this is what we call an ‘educator’.
I don’t think it’s fair to say she does not care about student test scores. She has proven she does care… she wants them to be as low as possible. She wants an electorate dumb enough to vote socialist and she is doing her best to create future stupid voters.
She'll laugh all the way to the bank.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY..............MONEY!............
It’s what they do...............
Exactly.
Randi Weingarten is a disgrace. That almost goes without saying.
No teacher has ever voted for Weingarten to be the president of her union. All the top AFT officials are chosen at closed conventions by shadowy delegates.
Just the way it was done in Stalin’s USSR.
SHE IS SERIOUSLY DISTURBED, IMO

Wow. Incredible. First, you think it’s a flex to claim Weingarten makes only $470,000 instead of $600,000.
Second, as @DeAngelisCorey points out, her total compensation is in fact over $600,000 once you include the additional income.
So no, you’re not helping your case by saying Randi racked up $44,000 in “other” expenses on top of her salary. And do AFT members realize that @AFTunion also covers first-class travel, companion travel, and personal housing allowances for its executives?

Pic of the paperwork at the link.
Stoopid students make great slaves.
She is after all the head of the teachers union, by their own definition they dont care about students.
Reason number one why the teachers union should be abolished!!!
I wonder how many people on Twitter/X that union has gotten banned...
Just curious.
It wouldn’t matter one bit if they did. Please see my post #9.
Oh, and here’s another trick many of these top AFT officials pull. It’s an overtime scam. They “work from home”, then put in for overtime.
George Carlin has a message for the average union member:
We don’t fear teachers, we fear for our children because of what our Communist teachers are teaching them.
I hope Trump does something about this. More than anything, more than the media, education is the biggest threat to this country. Why? Because every year our universities, High schools are graduating kids who have been indoctrinated for years in leftist insanity and they end up in every job you can imagine, politics, justice, the military, education, the FBI, the CIA, medicine, healthcare, and they bring with them their insane leftist ideology.
The Left tries to take over every institution, including teachers’ unions.
Almost as if it were a plan.
