Elizabeth McCauley of the Virginia Mavens said Weingarten was missing the point as to why parents of all political persuasions were speaking out at school board meetings across the country amid controversies over curriculum and COVID-19 mandates.
"Randi Weingarten seems to miss the point that we the parents truly do want to empower teachers to teach math, science, writing, reading, history (all of it), foreign languages, music, the arts free from the dictates from radical school boards which are hyper focused on indoctrination versus education," McCauley told Fox News Digital. "Teachers have more restrictions today than ever to walk in line and follow the directives of the political activists on school boards across the country who will not only attempt to fire them for simply stating biology (a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl born that way), but also attempt to indoctrinate them as well through teacher in service training containing everything from (social and emotional learning programs littered with the promotion of CRT to gender fluidity and everything in between)."
The optional teaching materials have ruffled the feathers of critics, who argue it is too Christian and blurs the line between separation of church and state.
