Federal officials 'at crossroads' on schooling between parents, teachers and Randi Weingarten: 'The Five'
Fox News
As the debate over whether to again force America's youth to engage in remote schooling, federal officials and elected politicians have found themselves trying to figure out who to side with in terms of U.S. parents, educators and teachers union bosses like AFT President Randi Weingarten.
On the other hand, Biden has repeatedly burnished his bona fides as a supporter of educators and teachers unions, including a quip during a Labor Day event that he "sleeps with an NEA member every night" – in reference to First Lady Jill Biden, who teaches at Northern Virginia Community College.
Watters noted that Fauci's most recent comments appear to place the administration at odds with the unions:
"Groups across the country testing the waters for their own departures from the classroom. Once again the science isn’t on their side [and] the arguments have gone so far off the rails that even people like Dr. Fauci are saying school should stay open," Watters said.
