The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, attacked Jews who criticized her union’s efforts to keep schools closed for in-class instruction as members of the “ownership class.”
“American Jews are now part of the ownership class,” Weingarten said in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency a month ago reported by the Jerusalem Post. The 63-year-old union president who represents 1.7 million members was responding to those who criticize efforts to keep schools closed while they exploit the coronavirus crisis for billions in stimulus money that won’t be spent for years.
“I think some people are very skeptical of the power that they perceive teachers unions to have,” began the interviewer. “They look at, for example, the ongoing struggles in Los Angeles, where they see this bi dollar figure of aid being given for school reopening and are baffled by the perceived resistance of teachers to going back to work.”
Weingarten took issue with the complaint. At the time, the Los Angeles teachers union, which operates in the second-largest district in the country, was pulling every excuse to remain remote, and even went as far to slam the state’s plans to reopen as “propagating structural racism.”
“What I hear when I hear that question is that those who are in the ownership class now want to take that ladder of opportunity away from those who do not have it,” Weingarten said.
Jews were immigrants from somewhere else. And they needed the right to have public education. And they needed power to have enough income and wealth for their families that they could put their kids through college and their kids could do better than they have done. Both economic opportunity though the labor movement and an educational opportunity through public education were key for Jews to go from the working class to the ownership class.
A month later, and L.A. schools are still not fully open in-person. The district, according to a local NBC affiliate, will begin classroom re-openings next week after 12 months of closure. Only elementary schools and institutions geared towards special needs will re-open. The remainder of the district’s buildings are supposed to re-open later this month. But now, that timeline may change as the teacher union demands childcare to return to class.
Despite Congress sending $129 billion to K-12 schools in coronavirus spending to get schools open, a tracker by the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute shows less than half, only 42 percent of districts, have returned to full in-class instruction nationwide.
In Los Angeles, an area food bank has felt the school closures exacerbate their local need.
William Hernandez, who runs the Valley Food Bank handling upwards of $1.5 million in groceries per month to families in need, told The Federalist they’ve seen an increased demand particularly among families with children as they learn-from-home.
“Hungry kids can’t concentrate in school,” Hernandez said, where eating habits for children learning from home require several trips to the refrigerator throughout the day.

So American Jews seemingly hate themselves for being Jewish while hating other Jews especially Israeli Jews. It’s quite a dynamic and psychological issue.
And the UK variant, the S African variant or the Brazilian variant.....all ok, but don’t ever say “China”.
Ownership class? Is that somehow bad now? (Besides, over 90 percent of America Jews are far far from being in any so-called ownership class. (Yes, some have succeeded well. That’s what USA is all about, for everyone who works for it. But the majority of American Jews are far from millionaire or billionaire status. And a few of the so-called Jews who have achieved that lofty status are patently not Jewish by faith nor values. Calling them Jews is an anachronism at best). But since when is there an ownership class? This sounds like just more communist propaganda and it’s divisive as is most of their rubbish
“Government Teacher’s Union Boss attacks ‘Jewish Ownership Class’...”
Jewish ownership class rushes to elect democrats.
Albert Chancre.
Teachers and child care workers were very vocal and demanding of vaccine preference. And so they were given priority status, delaying the rollout for vaccines for healthy seniors.
According to the CDC, as of the end of March, about 80% (6-8 million) have received at least their first vaccine and they have antibody protection from the virus.
There is zero reason not to open schools and childcares.
Ownership class, a house, a car, a business. Once called the American dream. Yet Randi Weingarten singles out only Jewish members of the ownership class for criticism. Nothing about Christians, Hindus, Hispanics, blacks, etc, all of which have members of the ownership class in their ranks. Lacking evidence it's only Jews who want their kids back in class, her comment is antisemitic. Marx may have hated Jews, but in his criticism of the ownership class he didn't discriminate, he hated all of them. Perhaps Randi does too, just didn't say it. Also worth noting many of Randi's membership and their families are members of the ownership class. And in keeping with Marxist theory, unions can certainly be accused of benefiting from the surplus value of labor. That's where their dues come from. Her salary too.
Chilling.
One of the lessons learned over and over in Marxist experiments, is that once the radicals consolidate power, the unions are purged as competition.
That was what the horse represented in Animal Farm, when the pigs sold him off to the glue factory.
As they should be since the government represents the proletariat, not unions. Just more useful idiots.
