Randi Weingarten's unchecked CDC access harmed our kids' education. America needs accountability
Fox News
Randi Weingarten American Federation of Teachers president will appear before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Wednesday. It's time for accountability.
Caitlin Sutherland is executive director of Americans for Public Trust.
Because of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by Americans for Public Trust, we revealed that in February 2021 Weingarten and her union were not only given an advanced copy of the long-awaited school reopening guidance but were also allowed to make line-by-line edits.
Weingarten will likely try to dodge these facts during her testimony. The fact that she hired a defense attorney has raised eyebrows and suggests she is geared up to evade these credible arguments, but the AFT’s email correspondence made public through our FOIA tells the real story.
