‘Don’t Call Me Sweetheart’: Disgusted Fox News Anchor Fires Back at Teachers Union Prez
Truth ^ | 4/24/25 | Staff

Posted on 04/24/2025 4:22:38 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum’s patience ran out during a Wednesday segment when American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten interrupted her — and called her “sweetheart” — before she was forced to backpedal and eventually apologize.

MacCallum brought Weingarten in as a guest on “The Story,” where she asked about issues raised by a current case before the United States Supreme Court — Mahmoud v. Taylor — that involves a group of parents demanding an “opt out” for certain LGBTQ-themed lessons in the Montgomery County School District in Maryland. While Weingarten said that she could not comment directly on the case, she said that she was happy to talk about the broader issues at hand.

The Fox News anchor pointed to the dismal test scores recorded across the board at that particular school district, and asked why the schools were more worried about mandating books about pronouns than about ensuring that kids were actually learning to read, write, and understand mathematics.

“Look at this. I mean this — if this isn’t a failure that needs to be so much more important than whether or not you’re reading a book about your pronouns. This is the Maryland rankings,” MacCallum said.

“Fourth graders, these same little kids who’ve had these books, you know, fed to them at a very young age, their reading ranked in 2013, they were second in the nation in Maryland. 2024, 20th. Math, 16th in the nation, plummeting down to 39th. So if I were a parent in this district, I would be saying, ‘Please, please leave these books out of the picture teach my child to read and to do math okay, and let’s focus on why we’re there.’”

Weingarten argued that scores were going up in Massachusetts and down in Florida — which she claimed was proof that Florida’s anti-“woke” model was not working and that throwing more money at education was the answer. MacCallum pushed back, saying that Newark, New Jersey — where per capita student funding was among the highest in the nation — suggested otherwise.

Video at link. Never mind so many kids are still functionally illiterate and pathetically deficient in basic math skills we must affirm whatever gender they think they are at the moment. Since Weingarten wants kids exposed to gender propaganda with or wihtout parental consent, then she and the rest of the woketards should have no problem if Little Black Sambo, Tales of Uncle Remus or digitally remastered episodes of Amos n Andy are in the public school libraries, right? For decades, ever since she got in to the UFT when Weingarten speaks, it always comes back to the need to throw more $$$ at the problem.

Interesting that a dyke would call another woman "SWEETHEART"

Wait. Is Weingarten a real “she”? I can’t tell if it’s a man who dresses like a woman or a woman who wants to be thought of as a man.

Okay, I’m confused. Is Weinfarten a sexist or is McCallum a transaphobe?

Only in America would we have a childless lesbo lecture us on how to educate children.

I watched that yesterday or this morning. Boy ... the look on Martha’s face. It looked like she could spit nickels.

I saw this. Randi is a real piece of ugly debris. I wished Martha had cut the interview short right then.

Why do homosexuals and transexuals have a monopoly on grooming kids and general creepiness? We need an army of men driving their windowless white vans to schools to read Lolita to kids and then pass out copies. Don't tell your parents! < /S>

And if anyone from the Bee wants to use this, just be sure to cite me.

I don’t really give a rats ass what Weingarten has between its legs. What I do care about is the fact that Weingarten and the rest of that corrupt faux union establishment are trying to destroy as many children as the possibly can. They are freaking Communists looking to destroy this country from within, and so far they are succeeding.

The commie shouldn’t apologize.

Should have said I’ll call you anything I want, honey, sweetie pie, sugar, darling.

Reporterette should ignore it.

That’s actually a legitimate question. They’re forcing their perversions on kids and attempting to turn our kids into perverts.

And in Florida the number of students with English as a second language is 10%. As a former teacher, newer immigrants take up about 3 -5 times the class time in remedial work than 2nd generation students. Thank You Joe Biden.

I’m going to assume Weingarten is a tranny.
