One of America’s biggest villains received an epic beating on Fox News today when she tried to defend the indefensible and insulted her interviewer.
Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, is the chief proponent of trapping everyone in failing public schools and refusing to hold crooked school authority figures accountable.
She was also arguably the loudest advocate for shutting down schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused irreparable harm to the cognitive development of many children across the country.
Weingarten was invited on Fox News’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” to discuss the ongoing public school failures and pornographic books prevalent throughout school libraries.
Things got heated quickly when MacCallum lit up Weingarten for slamming school choice and for saying we should throw more money at the problem.
“So, if we can find other areas around the country where the proficiency levels are also ABYSMAL and should be embarrassing to every education organization, then we can start making assessments and say it’s because of (school) choice or money,” MacCallum said. “We know that money does not equate to a better outcome.”
MacCallum cited an example from New Jersey that proves her astute point. Upon hearing this, Weingarten lost her patience and attempted to patronize the Fox News anchor.
“Martha, Martha, sweetheart,” she began before an angry MacCallum cut her off.
“Don’t call me sweetheart!” MacCallum fired back.

Weingarten quickly apologized before stammering on about how conservatives have supposedly flip-flopped on education funding before MacCallum interjected with another reality check.
“They (conservatives) wanted to go to different programs; school choice programs and give (money) to parents who want to homeschool their kids,” she replied.
Weingarten continued to stammer and utter nonsense about how public school funding benefits primarily red districts and states, citing Mississippi as an example of where education outcomes have improved. But MacCallum once again bodied her with another inconvenient truth.
“One of the things they have done in Mississippi is to expand (school) choice, MacCallum said. “They’re also doing something really important, which is to expand teacher training because they understand that teachers themselves do not understand the things they are supposed to be teaching.”
We (also) must be clear-eyed about the fact that our students over the past 20 years have had very weakened outcomes,” she added. “We see it at the college level; we see it when kids are pushed through these systems.”
“I was talking to a teacher…she said ‘I can’t hold a kid back who can’t read.’”
