Randi Weingarten slammed for praising op-ed saying parents don't have right to shape school cirriculums
Fox News
Teachers union chief Randi Weingarten is still feeling the burn after hyping an article that claimed parents have no right to shape their kids’ school curriculum.
In the piece, writers Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire argued that recent protests by parents against school boards are not grassroots efforts but Republican tactics to stoke racial tension.
"Knowing that every vote matters, the GOP has increasingly relied on a strategy of voter suppression. Simultaneously, Republicans have worked to ensure that their base turns out in force by stoking White racial grievance. The recent firestorm over critical race theory is a perfect case in point. Never mind that this concept from legal scholarship isn’t actually taught in K-12 schools or that it isn’t what most protesters believe it to be. Republicans gain an electoral advantage by convincing their base that White children are being taught to hate themselves, their families and their country," the piece wrote.
