Left-wing teachers' union president Randi Weingarten has been selected to sit on a panel tasked with advising the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The DHS press release states that "Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced new members to the Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council (HSAPC), which he reconstituted in 2022. The Council will provide strategic and actionable recommendations to the Secretary on campus safety and security, improved coordination, research priorities, hiring, and more."
Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Northwestern University President Michael Schill, and San Diego State University President Adela de la Torre are a few of the other figures selected to serve on the council.
"The Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council's insights into strategic research, innovation, career development, and partnership opportunities for the Department will support our mission to safeguard the American people, and help our country think through and prepare for whatever threats lie ahead," Mayorkas said, according to the press release.
Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers, which recently endorsed President Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential primary where he is facing challenges from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson.
"@rweingarten is the last person who should be advising anyone on school safety," U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida (R) tweeted in response to the news.
"What an insult to every parent who dealt with closed schools," former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted.
Pompeo has previously described Weingarten as the most dangerous individual on earth.
"If you ask, 'Who's the most likely to take this republic down?' It would be the teacher's unions, and the filth that they're teaching our kids, and the fact that they don't know math and reading or writing," Pompeo told Semafor last year.
Pre-planned to fail…
Just another day on bizarro world.
Zero qualifications. This will end just like the OceanGate sub.
I already know what she’ll say:
“Parents are a threat to homeland security. Take their children away!”
I hope it does.
I believe this bitch had a hand in the FIB targeting parents so of course they give her a role in homeland security
Fox...
Hen house...
Weingarten has absolutely ZERO qualifications for this position. It has to be some sort of payoff for her dimmocommie loyalty. Just another example of the perversity of any members of the Biden collection of freaks, weirdos, unqualifieds and outright traitors and criminals.
Primary union leader donor to the rat cause of coarse she is paid back
