The Challenge: Randi Weingarten’s column responding to Mike Pompeo’s criticism of her tenure as AFT president.
Kudos for permitting American Federation of Academics President Randi Weingarten to reply to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (“The place I Stand,” PostOpinion, Dec. 3).
And The Put up’s “Randi’s Alternate Info” response was spot-on (Editorial, Dec. 3).
Her legacy of failing our kids began lengthy earlier than COVID. Studying and math scores relative to the remainder of the world are a humiliation, and the woke indoctrination didn’t begin yesterday.
She wasted the primary third of her response on being offended by her “most harmful” label. And her different arguments have been unconvincing.
Does she consider Mike Pompeo visiting a staged classroom may ever assuage considerations of her failures over 14 years accountable for the AFT?
Randi, you're harmful, and it’s time to retire. Perhaps then our training system can start its lengthy and arduous street to restoration.

What delusional bubble does Weingarten reside in? Cease the gaslighting!
New York Metropolis alone has misplaced over 100,000 college students since she and her union locked them out of their school rooms and compelled indoctrination on their younger minds.
Please retire earlier than we lose any extra of our kids to your misguided management.

Why can we deal with Weingarten in a different way from every other union chief? Unions exist to characterize one of the best pursuits of their members, not their employers (dad and mom) and never their prospects (college students).
Whereas I've definitely identified many academics who're really pushed to supply their college students with a fantastic training, I've by no means met any union consultant who nervous about something aside from extracting extra revenue or higher advantages for that union’s members, whatever the influence on different “stakeholders.”
Weingarten might declare to have one of the best pursuits of scholars at coronary heart and categorical a want to “associate” with dad and mom, however these are hole statements while you notice that they don't seem to be central to her function as union head.

Whereas I commend you for giving Weingarten a chance to counter Pompeo’s assertion that she is the “most harmful particular person” in the USA, her column didn't persuade me that Pompeo was fallacious. Largely, she appears like a child in a playground struggle.
Come on, Weingarten: All of us noticed the horrific outcomes of the Nationwide Evaluation of Instructional Progress. Nothing you say about how severely your members are dedicated to “making youngsters thrive” jibes with the unhappy check outcomes.
The actual fact is, whereas college students have been struggling devastating studying and social losses which might be simply starting to be measured, academics preferred working from dwelling of their jammies.
You and your union are a shame, and your unholy partnership with the Democratic Celebration has damage our complete society. Sure, you're harmful, Weingarten.

Weingarten calling Mike Pompeo a bully? What a joke!
That is the lady who broken hundreds of thousands of children psychologically by jamming mask-wearing down their throats, the lady who compelled woke curricula and gender neutrality into academics’ agendas, the lady who suggests dad and mom haven't any say in their very own youngster’s curriculum.
How do you even have the nerve to indicate your face in public? Return to the classroom, the place you may attempt to do some good.

Thanks to your editorial refuting most of the false claims made by Weingarten in her visitor column.
Accepting her assertion that the overwhelming majority of her union members are hardworking, diligent academics who're doing their greatest for the kids, the ultimate verdict is rendered by the success or failure of the system’s efficiency.
More and more, dad and mom and their kids are choosing non-public and constitution faculties not staffed by her union members.
