Randi Weingarten 'spitting mad' about 'evisceration' of education department
Fox News ^ | 3/16/25 | Hanna Panreck

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten said she was "spitting mad" over the staffing cuts at the Department of Education, describing it as an "evisceration by a thousand cuts."

"So what it does is that it levels the playing field, so all kids can have opportunity, and that it was they are cutting, and when they cut half the people, it's like evisceration by a thousand cuts," Weingarten said, listing the Department of Education's duties.

The Department of Education announced on Tuesday that it would be shrinking its workforce from around 4,133 to around 2,183 employees. Remaining workers impacted by the reductions will be placed on administrative leave beginning March 21.

"I'm so mad, I'm spitting mad about this, because it's hurting the people who can't vote, children don't vote! Let's not take away their opportunity," she continued.

"What they did yesterday was cowardly. Have the fight with the 65% of Americans who believe we need to have an education department," she said earlier in the discussion. "Fact, education is done at the local level. State governments, state education departments, local school boards. That’s who does education. And we believe that and we want that. But this is what the federal Department of Education does. It’s the opportunity agent. It’s the equalizer."

She said the department helps with providing children with reading specialists for certain disabilities, getting students occupational therapists, Pell grants, and more.

Kinda sounds like Randi is primarily concerned with the disappearing loot. She's also a kook.

It leveled the playing field by ensuring that everybody that isn’t rich enough to afford personal tutors for their children would educated to about grade 5.

Of course she’s mad, DOGE is cutting her personal taxpayer funded graft machine. However she’s still got the Union funded money coming in.

The D.O.E Has been a magnet for self entitled, we know what's good for your children better than you, leftist moon bats since day one.

It's the HOA of your children's education that is primarily focused on federal funds and how to get them and spend them on their members.

If we had an efficient DOE all they would be in charge of is yearly posting a set of graduation standards for the united states.

We're talking 50-100 people tops. With the head reporting to the president.

If states want to add to the minimum standards that's their money to spend.

AND NO SOCIAL PROGRAMS ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE STANDARDS.

. - Do you think the rest of the world cares if their students are well versed in 13 genders, black history, green energy, or trans rights?

This is what not realizing you have been made immediately irrelevant looks like.

The light bulb will go on eventually......it’ll just take awhile.....because you know, public education and all.

That’s hilarious.

Hopefully, Randi won’t be getting any gravy on it from the federal gravy train for much longer.

“spitting mad” is a term to describe some dementia patients undergoing a pelvic examination.

It’s always about the money. If she cared about the children, she might care that public ed is graduating people who cannot read or write. But, nothing about that.

Randi Weingarten 'spitting mad'

As though this pipsqueak's being so angry should be meaningful or regarded as something to contend with. It is to laugh.
