Weingarten is lying -- and here's why
Was AFT president Randi Weingarten really trying to reopen schools? American Commitment president Phil Kerpen scoffs at the claim, pointing out that Weingarten fought for over two years to stop schools from opening. He discusses the economic and social consequences of school closures due to the pandemic, including a loss of educational attainment, lower lifetime income, lower life expectancy, mental health issues, and physical health issues. Plus, the quarter of a million kids have dropped off the radar, and the cost of that may be incalculable.
