randi weingarten got it wrong, ainsley.as done more for teacher's unions than students and parents. joe biden is not a friend of students. he has basically elevated the teacher's union could cabinet status. why? donated $18 million to his campaign. ainsley, the bottom line is this. where roosevelt opened schools up, joe biden closed schools with the permission and cooperation of the union. they kept kids out of school during the pandemic. achievement scores were lower. there was absolutely nothing that was beneficial to kids during the biden administration. joe biden is an enemy of students. >> ainsley: aft donated $18 million to campaigns in 2022 alone. how can we allow this to happen? they give money to the democrats, the democrats win because they have more money or because they get all this money from the teacher's unions and do whatever they tell them to do. >> that's it. power and control. joe biden brags about being a union president, he's right at the expense of the kids. ainsley. he's elevated randi weingarten as a

at this point randy weingarten and joe biden are the education deniers. our children an opportunity to learn during the pandemic which resulted in massive learning losses, teachers leaving the classroom and we have raised disparities and race relations, excuse me the worst we have ever seen. this is what we are going to call a success? i would really hate to see what a failure looks like. >> carley: i think the question is the president has done a lot for the teachers unions but what's he done for the students when you look at test scores across the country. the dana you had high hopes for president biden when you elected him but how do you feel about him now? >> i'm extremely disappointed. i thought things would take a turn and would be politicized due to covid but everything has been the cause posted. randi weingarten basically writes the cold and flu guidance to adjust changes to the cdc had put forth that would allow their kids to go back to school full-time. biden didn't help our kids go back to school, all the parents that fund raised to sue the sch

will randi weingarten ever be held accountable? >> well, i doubt it.ove everything that you laid out there. it's absolutely right on. we have tremendous learning loss it should be a national crisis that's being addressed. we have an enormous department of education, takes up almost an entire block in washington d.c., so if this isn't there every waking moment pro project, i don't know what is, right? but what we're seeing is that people are holding randi weingarten accountable in different ways and moving their children to school at home , moving them to catholic schools which they are founding affordable alternatives in many places because there's no more stark test of what she did than those catholic schools. they stayed open and they had the same, if not lower rates of covid and higher rates of student achievement. i don't know what else you need to really know, right? so it's a failure of epic proportion on her part and the part of the unions and public schools and it's a travesty and also dr. jill biden whose an educator herself, should, i believe

is that what randi weingarten was going for there?irtue and lying is certainly not a virtue, steve. yeah. biden has done more in this sense. he has given more money to education than has ever been given before, but he's also given us more achievement gaps, more kids who have not learned the basics of not only right and wrong but reading and math and history. we see more kids who, because they were out of school, have serious emotional problems, mental distress, a lot of inner personal relationships shattered. and, of course, increased drug use in the schools. so all that and more we can thank joe biden and a lot of democrat governors for. again, a lot of the world seems upside down right now. we've got to set it right and we've got to get the word out. and it's unfortunate that the media seems to be in cahoots with the administration in continuing to tell these lies or ignoring the things that are right before us, right in front of us. this border thing, no country in the world is doing what we're doing, which is opening our borders l

well, we learned that as a result of the draconian lockdowns supported and encouraged by randi weingarten and the teachers' unions, that many of our children have fallen far behind, and it may take not months, not weeks, but literally years to catch up, if they ever do. so i don't really understand this idea of some of the biden administration and the teachers' unions who don't like and won't tolerate charter schools. is it because they're okay with children being trapped in failing schools? i can't really understand why they would view this as a threat. public, tuition-free, high-quality charter schools -- these are public schools, these aren't private schools. these aren't for the elite. this isn't for the rich. this is for overwhelmingly disadvantaged, economically disadvantaged students. and so i support senator tim scott. i applaud his leadership in this area in saying that the biden administration should not stand in the way of these charter schools. every child deserves a quality education, and every parent deserves the freedom to choose the school that will serve their child best.
