American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said Thursday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that her union is going to court to stop the state laws banning teaching critical race theory.
Weingarten said, “When it comes to issues of American history, we teach about the founding and how great it was to actually break from Great Britain and have a democracy and how important the Constitution was, one of the first constitutional democracies. But it wasn’t a multiethnic democracy. The Founders basically were very focused on making sure that white men of certain ways had a vote. But this is what’s great about America and what we teach in history, that the arc of the moral universe has actually bent toward justice.”

Upatriotic.
Erase History.
Looks like the Left is trying to control the language and turn it back on us.
The first slave owner in America was a BLACK man...and he got slavery codified into law...do you teach THAT, you POS?
I'm curious, if you know. Were his slaves only black? Whites who signed up for indentured servitude had (theoretically at least) a time limit to their quasi-slavery. Privilege in action!
When Obama was President California Democrats repealed that state’s prohibition on Communists and Seditionists teaching in California schools.
And here we are today. Mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm.
I heard part of a speech by someone from the NEA on the radio yesterday. She said they have a legal team and a pile of money ready to sue any parent who objected to what they want to teach (CRT).
Not that it matters but I doubt the teachers union has any authority in the matter.
Predators
Eff’n POS thinks we live in a democracy. Any teacher that does not know better should be fired. I won’t write what should happen to union officials.

Teachers are EMPLOYEES - they get the same voice the rest of us do to determine what our children are taught. Then the legislature decides.
Going to court to ramrod your cult ideology into schools is not only unethical - it’s evil.
Who cares what this idiot commie dyke says? She screwed over the NYC teachers real good while head of the United Federation of Teachers, losing us days off and protections. She obviously viewed that job-—which meant having a livelihood and a life to most members-—as a mere stepping stone to the one she has now as head of AFT, etc. And I know she had her eye on being the Education Secretary under a Hillary Clinton administration. She is SCUM.
You all “teachers “ can all go to hell un-American socialist a holes
A rather typical career path of a “union leader”. She and Trumka must have had the same career advisor.
Well, looks we have over 5,000 little monsters running freely around the country.
This broad needs to be taken out.
What they don’t seem to understand is that, perhaps yes, the history taught could be more inclusive and sensitive, BUT that does not justify the racism promulgated by CRT.
“But it wasn’t a multiethnic democracy”
It wasn’t supposed to be. “All men are created equal” simply meant no man was born a king. A self selecting group of people - a nation - was free to govern itself, without having the local psychopath declare himself God.
Just like Israel, Randi, you know? The place you actually belong. But I guess since you and your family weren’t anywhere near America when all this went down, it’s understandable that you don’t understand.
