American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten admitted to sharing a false tweet claiming that certain books were banned in Florida on Sunday.
The list, posted by an account called "Freesus Patriot," claimed that Florida has banned books such as, "To Kill a Mockingbird," and "A Wrinkle in Time." The account also tweeted that they would not reveal the source of the list.
Weingarten was re-elected to lead the AFT in July, making it her eighth term as AFT president.
Weingarten replied to another tweet pointing out that the list was "made up" and said that she should have "double checked."
Gov. Ron DeSantis', R-Fla., press secretary Bryan Griffin, responded to a different tweet posted by "A Worried Citizen," which said, "Florida bans the Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.'"
"The State of Florida has not banned To Kill a Mockingbird. In fact, Florida RECOMMENDS the book in 8th grade," he wrote.

That woman needs to step down until she learns how to behave herself.
She’s HARDLY a WOMAN...I think shes a LESBIAN.
My bad is what a 12 year old says.
Not only do liberals like her believe that it’s true because they say it is and that they’ll never get caught, they believe you hve no right to check them on things like this.
How fitting it is that the AFT commissarette is an out-loud-dumb product of K-12 public edumakashun.

I was an involuntary member of the AFT for decades. Ordinary AFT members are not allowed to vote for state or national leaders. So I never once got the chance to vote for or against Weingarten.
All of the top AFT leaders are chosen by delegates at a convention. These delegates are chosen at the local level. The local bosses run a hand-picked slate of toadies. In all my years in the union I only knew of maybe two people who were able to break the slate. Lots of funny business going on there.
It is sadly ironic. The AFT constantly preaches democracy. But it itself is a VERY undemocratic organization.
Randi, you are a base fraud! Who’da thunk it?
Sharon Kleinbaum, her “partner”, must be so ashamed of her.
Fahrenheit 451. For me, a list of banned books is a reading list, but for the fact that I have read most of them.

In other words, it is run much like the Soviet Politiburo.
Thank you so much for posting this.
I suspected it, but did not know the specifics. It is much the same in many Unions.
Their opening gambit is slander. Always. Nothing they say can be taken at face value. Ever. It’s always a ploy. They are ployers.
