WASHINGTON — A top White House ally plans to paint Republicans’ focus on issues around race, gender and sexual identity as part of a GOP strategy to undermine public education as White House officials debate how forcefully to engage in the so-called culture wars dominating the right.
In remarks prepared for the National Press Club on Tuesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is expected to say state and local laws that ban certain types of books or restrict what can be taught in the classroom are “fueling hostility and fear” and aren’t serving students, parents or teachers, according to an advance copy of her speech provided to NBC News.
“What started as fights over pandemic-era safety measures has morphed into fear mongering — false claims that elementary and secondary schools are teaching critical race theory; disgusting, unfounded claims that teachers are grooming and indoctrinating students; and pronouncements that public schools push a 'woke' agenda,” Weingarten will say. “This is an organized and dangerous effort to undermine public schools.”
Weingarten will lay out steps that would address issues like mental health, school safety and learning loss from the coronavirus pandemic but also call for others to more forcefully push back against culture wars.
Legislation passed or pending in states across the country is designed to “create a climate of fear and intimidation” to allow conservative activists to advance an agenda that includes shifting funds for education away from public schools, Weingarten will say.
“Our public schools shouldn’t be pawns for politicians’ ambitions, or defunded and destroyed by ideologues,” she will say.

This woman is evil.
Isn’t all Democrat women? They are doing the Bidding of Satan.
Go ahead you demonic Aholes. Evil always loses.
Another marxist democRAT that either doesn't know the meaning of words like 'hypocrisy' and 'irony' or she's convinced that her minions in the publik skool system have dumbed down the population to the point they don't.
Public education is a marxist-statist-bureaucratic political base of the Left.
In its present form, it must be undermined
Bring it bitch. This one you are going to lose bigly and hugh. I’m series.
The NEA brainwashing children, through their own currriculums regardless of how they parse it, into believing all whites are racist and irredeemable can be applied across the spectrum to say that all trans are potentially violent killers.
The broad, blanket statements espoused by these propagandists can be used to make them live by their own rules. Alinsky 101.
If the GOP would enact meaningful school reforms to allow and even promote competition, the public school system would wither on the vine in 5-10 years. Imagine if the parents controlled the tax dollars and could send their kid where they wanted, or you got a tax credit for your private school tuition up to a certain amount. The teacher unions would be gone.
Good point.
It's clear the nameless faceless AI at the "Whitehouse" sets the agenda and policy.
If the gop knew how to fight, The gop would immediately retaliate by preparing a counter campaign to expose the left’s obsession with perversion and pedophilia as par for the course with the left.
Put together montages of videos showing the freaks in action corrupting kids, grooming kids, gaslighting and brainwashing the kids to accept the lefts disgusting immorality, and sexual lerversions as normal, read from the very same pornographic books that the schools are forcing the kids to read, and say to the public
“this is the state of public education today, and this is what the vile left are defending and promoting as they rail agaisnt the gop who want good clean public education that teaches the basics and steers clear of the Immorality that the left revere so much. Kids today can’t even do basic math any ore because their schools teach perverse immorality instead of focusing on the fu damentals of education. This is the filth are so vehemently defending”
Make it a Felony Nationwide for any person that is or ever was a “public employee” to send their children to any school other than the public school in their district, and watch how fast this crap ends.
Oh you fascist! How dare you demand that they send their kids to the failing public education systems that everyone else has to attend? /s
Yep, they would not like their kids coming out of school u ableto do basic math, or most any basic thing that schools used to teach.
What would the chicoms do?
