The boss of the American Federation of Teachers is on a field trip — all the way to the Ukraine — on a visit paid in part by dues-paying rank and file members of her union.
Randi Weingarten told FoxNews.com she arrived in Kiev on Thursday as part of a delegation of teacher union leaders from five nations, including the United Kingdom, Poland, Denmark and Bulgaria, as an act of solidarity and to “promote democratic values.” The tab for the trip was split by AFT’s 1.5 million members and the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers of Ukraine (STESU), which invited the union bigwig.
Weingarten told FoxNews.com during a brief telephone interview from a coffee shop in Kiev that AFT has had a longstanding tradition of supporting democratic institutions around the world.

But at least one critic said Weingarten should focus more on pressing domestic issues.
“It doesn’t sound like it’s really a policy matter; more publicity than policy," said Ted O’Neil, spokesman for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a Michigan-based nonprofit educational group. "I would like to hear her say that her next trip with be here to Michigan to try and help Detroit’s public school, which is an AFT affiliate, rather than globetrotting.”

NO DOUBT ACCOMPANIED by Bernie Sanders and the neo cons who hate the fact that Russia is a Christian nation.
Ms. Weingarten must have felt right “AT HOME”!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sounds very much like the kind of enemy- within agent provocateur operative that causes immense troubles all over the globe. Can you imagine how Russia sees this kind of foreign meddling right on its doorstep? If Putin finishes off his Ukraine moves really soon, it sure won’t be any surprise with this kind of troublemaker “visiting “ that’s for sure.
ThisJewneocon was obviously in Ukraine to conspire with the neo-Nazis there at the behest of herJewishneocon masters, Vicky Nuland, Donald Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz and William Kristol, all acting on behalf of shadowymoney-hungry Jewishbusiness interests perturbed by Putin's newly-adopted Orthodox Christianity, which he has embraced with the fervor of a convertwith the exception of the injunctions against the seven deadly sins, which are anyhow a Catholic heresy.
What a beast!
Much of AFT’s “Activist” activities are co-financed with the Open Society Institute/Soros. They are now closely aligned with SEIU, HERE,UNITE, and LUINA, the Soros-financed super-fecta.
That said, and knowing that Ukraine was destabilized by the Soros NGO’s, WHY would this guy be in Ukraine right now?
“promote democratic values.” Teaches union has been compromised infultrated and now a politcal force that was never intended. Chldren are as dumb as ever, monies go everywhere else but to the kids, programs are set up by radicals in government to foster communal think instead of individuality,American history and pride. Diversity, affirmative action, sexual orientation, white guilt, global community, global warming, not to mention the mental health issues and the medicating of our next generation are the agenda. Anyone realize that we are in the throws of a heroin epidemnic that our young people are OD-ing at an alarming rate in every small town in America from 5 dollar heroin? Where is the media? Sorry the pieces of the puzzle are slowing coming into place.
Young people with no hope turn to drugs and alcohol. This reality has come to America.
She is one of the agitators sent to cause an upheaval by our current global regime in America. She and her counterparts are not working for the cause of freedom, they are working to plant a puppet regime for the global government.
She is more left wing than any Russian or Ukrainian
100%
where were they when Clinton helped to take Kosovo away from the Serbs and why is it that ethnic Albanians in Kosovo wanted away from Serbia and the west said great but now Crimea wants away from the Ukraine then it’s different.
Oh wait double standards and hypocrisy again
