Fox News
American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten claimed Wednesday night that many Republican lawmakers are “bullying” teachers on “honest history” regarding race, during a livestreamed event headlined by the controversial “How to Be an Antiracist” author Ibram X Kendi.
"Look, maybe they are just trying to raise the temperature on race relations because of the next election," she continued. Weingarten, who leads the roughly 1.7 million-member teacher's union, has delivered remarks at multiple events this week during the AFT's TEACH Virtual Conference 2021 where she has claimed that Republicans are at odds with American teachers. In her remarks during the opening session of the conference, she touched on how, "culture warriors are labeling any discussion of race, racism or discrimination as [critical race theory] to try to make it toxic. They are bullying teachers and trying to stop us from teaching students accurate history."More Related News
