Randi Weingarten claims teacher union members are indifferent about Department of Education being abolished
Fox News
Teacher union boss Randi Weingartern claims her members are indifferent on whether President-elect Donald Trump eliminates the Department of Education.
"My members don’t really care about whether they have a bureaucracy at the Department of Education or not," Weingarten said. "In fact, Al Shanker and the AFT in the 1970s were opposed to its creation. We thought it should stay within HEW (Department of Health, Education, and Welfare) because of the whole child." Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
Weingarten's comments came after she raised concern over South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, R., introduced legislation to eliminate the department last week.. Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
