Teachers’ Union Won’t Go Back to School -- But Will Go to Sharpton’s 50,000 March
FPM ^ | 9/3/20 | Daniel Greenfield

The American Federation of Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten claimed at the union's annual convention that teachers were so terrified of going back to school that they were "quitting in droves" and "making their wills".

The AFT threatened that its members would go on strike if they were expected to go back to actually doing their jobs and teaching in a classroom.

In New York City, the United Federation of Teachers, which is affiliated with the AFT, marched with cardboard coffins and fake body bags. Some union teachers wore skeleton t-shirts.

A Halloween skeleton attached to a garbage bag held a cardboard sickle and a message written next to dripping blood, "Welcome Back to School". "I can't teach from a cemetery," one sign claimed. Another declared, "We Won't Die for the Department of Education."

Despite their claim that they feared for their lives, the march had little social distancing.

A few weeks after the death march, the AFT’s teachers took a break from making out their wills to get on buses and travel to Washington D.C. to take part in Sharpton’s 50,000 person rally.

The AFT was described as “mobilizing” for the Get Your Knee off Our Necks Commitment March in Washington D.C. which included lots of hate, but few coronavirus precautions.

They should have already written their wills. They could be killed by a car on the way to/from work.

They could be shot by a crazy gun person (I know, not really, but don’t they all think that could happen at any time)?

They could catch the flu and die (well, not really — it’s 477 KIDS who got the flu from their teachers and died, and the teachers don’t really care about that).

This may be the beginning of another phase such as happens in socialist countries — a general strike. They start with the teachers then maybe the mail, public transportation etc. etc. etc.

No government workers should have unions.
