Isn’t Randi Weingarten a communistic lesbian who used the Scamdemic for political gain?

Wikipedia:

Rhonda “Randi” Weingarten was born in 1957 in New York City, to a Jewish family, Gabriel and Edith (Appelbaum) Weingarten. Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother a teacher.[1][2] Weingarten grew up in Rockland County, New York, and attended Clarkstown High School North in New City, New York.[2] A congregant of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, she considers herself a deeply religious Jew.[3][4]

On October 11, 2007, Weingarten publicly announced she is a lesbian. Weingarten introduced Liz Margolies, a psychotherapist and health care activist, as her partner while accepting the Empire State Pride Agenda’s 2007 Community Service Award from Christine Quinn.[4][147] By December 2012, she was in a relationship with Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah.[148] They married March 25, 2018.[149][150]

By "people" does she mean a handful of lunatic lesbians?
"Why are you taking this away from my child? Why don’t you let my child and her teacher decide what is right?"

If this is so necessary for their child, can't they buy it?

He's unpopular with the head of the teacher's union? That's the joke, right?

“why you would get rid of social emotional learning when we have a mental health crisis?”

Because it is the cause.

Really? You’re using this as evidence? An teacher union lackey?

With the idea that screwing up mostly normal kids in the name of “helping” a few abnormal kids is “mental health”?

All these statements and arguments can so easily be defeated. Easily

1. Challenge to a townhall and have her fill the place with angry parents.

2. At said townhall and follow-up press conference, show the books. Show what’s in them. Show the pics of two kids having sex. Show everything. Show the disgusting content on YouTube for Kids.

Let people see what they’ve been hearing about.

In a state with 10 million plus parents you only need two to make the headline technically accurate. There is not a majority, or even a large number of parents who would classicy the removal of perv porn from Elementary School libraries as “Book Banning”.

Is it liberal parent? Or liberal teachers? I recently had a discussion with a friend who is a retired librarian. She gave me a list of banned books. I found many reasons why children should not be exposed to these authors. Public libraries are there fir free speech, the classroom should be there to teach the kids the basics and let the parent teach them values and differences between good and evil.
One last thing, is the Bible allowed in school libraries?

Weingarten said, “Two things are unpopular, the book bans and also why you would get rid of social emotional learning when we have a mental health crisis? We have to make sure that kids feel okay.”

Yes, book bans are unpopular with leftists, unless they are doing the banning. We’re talking about banning books in elementary schools. Just yesterday there was a post about parents wanting to ban a book from a school in Utah. That book was a King James Version of the Holy Bible. I doubt the parents in that case were Christian conservatives.

Contrast banning the Bible and books that promote homosexuality and gender denial. It is clear to a majority of Americans which should be and not be available for children to read. If books become so contentious, then perhaps schools shouldn’t have taxpayer funded libraries. That’s fine with me.

I homeschooled my children and bought books. I still have the books to hand down to my grandchildren. In fact, I have books that my parents bought me when I was a child that my children have read. Last Christmas, I gave a book to my grandson that I had as a child. He was three years old going onto four. The book I gave him was the first book I ever read on my own. I was four years old when I did that.

My daughter has seen fit to teach my grandson to read before he is school aged. I’m am hoping the first book he reads on his own will be the book that I first read on my own. It’s about fishing and a think it may have influenced me to enjoy fishing for all of my life. Of course, it is a book that promotes violence, killing and toxic masculinity. /s It would certainly cause a major mental breakdown for anyone woke.

As for social emotional learning, I have no idea what that is. It must be some leftist psychobabble. I am willing to wager it doesn’t work considering two-thirds of children cannot read at grade-level. American teachers are abject failures. That means what they are doing does not work. If social emotional learning is part of that, then that is part of the failure.

I do know one thing for certain. It is not difficult to teach a child to read. I set my children on autopilot by age 8. They were reading at four or five grade levels above their own by then. When that happens it is simply a matter of adding grammar and vocabulary lessons. After while it became their responsibility to find vocabulary words to learn. The dictionary is a very functional book.

Vocabulary lesson plan: randomly find 20 words in the dictionary that you do not know. Learn how to spell them. Learn what they mean. Use the words at the dinner table. Maybe that’s social (dinner table) emotional learning. Later in the week they would have a spelling quiz.
