“I don’t think the kids ... really give a crap whether they’re going to school or not, in fact they love being out of school so they can screw around”

Exactly the damage I am referring too. My ex wife taught at the French School in Sausalito and San Francisco when we were living out there.

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 through the labor movement and an educational opportunity through public education were key for Jews to go from the working class to the ownership class.

That is a perfidious lie. Jews went from peddlers to elite through generations of incredibly hard work and responsible living. They owe NOTHING to public education.

Perpetually aggrieved victim groups could escape their wretched conditions by simply emulating the behavior of Jews.

I’ve never hated myself for being a Catholic Irish Lebanese.

Why do people hate themselves and their traditions?

Weird.

Weingarten is all about Weingarten. Having taught a mere 6 months in a classroom, she levered herself into the role of UFT (United Federation of Teachers) president when the original commie founder died. Not only was she responsible for the worst contract for teachers ever, giving away important protection rights, holidays, etc. for a tiny pittance of a raise, but she was only in that position long enough for her to use it as a stepping stone to an even higher position (and thus able to do even more damage), the presidency of the AFT. She is a Jew only by virtue of having emerged from the womb of a Jewish woman--certainly not by any remote semblance of observance. She is a lesbian "married" to a fake woman "rabbi". According to Jewish law, women cannot be rabbis, so this "wife" of hers is a complete lie and sham. So, Weingarten's entire life as a Jew is a complete sham. For her to then condemn normal Jews, who worked hard and sacrificed much so that their children could have a better life and largely succeeded in that endeavor, is worse than disgusting. This pervert is suggesting---merely to be PC by the current upside-down prevailing logic---that Jews are actively working to deprive other groups of the opportunity to also pull themselves up by their own bootstraps for a better life for them and their children.

That is triple distilled B.S. You do not see multi-generational welfare cases involving Jews or Asians as you do blacks and Hispanics. You do not see a 75% illegitimacy rate among Jews as you do with blacks. Having a child out of wedlock while you're still a teen spells the end of education and training for most of these teen mothers and sets them and their offspring up for yet another generation of welfare. Hispanics have a 49% illegitimacy rate, and the same goes for them. Asians have about a 10% illegitimacy rate, and I could not even find stats for Jewish illegitimacy. However, I know it's very unusual to even hear about a Jewish child born out of wedlock, and I'm not even talking about among the Orthodox, where such a thing is virtually unknown.

I am sure that a lack of higher education (the correlation for lower education level and having an out of wedlock child are quite significant), an obvious lack of personal discipline, and the demands of raising a child by yourself affecting your work performance (such as having to take off to care for a sick child) are what keep groups other than Jews down. It's a cheap self-hating shot for the despicable Weingarten to blame Jews for something they had nothing to do with.

One of my FB friends (huge liberal) has kept her Special Needs kid out of school since Covid started in March 2020 because she won’t make him do his schoolwork. So now this kid who was behind already is now a year behind.

At one time, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was a force defending Jews from discrimination in media, the workplace, etc. It has been taken over by extreme progressive JINOs who have never seen the inside of a synagogue. I wish they could be forced to change their name, as it no longer has the slightest bit to do with Jewish interests. Most of the time, it actually Jew bashes itself these days.

The damage being done to these children will be felt for a generation or two.

They may not be able to make generation number two.

As complex and as intractable as ideological functionaries like Weingarten seem, the solution is going to be quite simple. If they don’t want to work, fire them. What use are they now? What are they doing anyway?

How many children are being educated via this apparently discredited means of remote education that is all that is happening in leftist dominated school districts and cities? If you said 20%, I’d say you were exaggerating.

This person does know something we don’t. And that is what the hell they think is going to happen, and what they expect to do about it. Nothing is going to suddenly happen that leads the way to a return to education in those ciites. What are they waiting for?

Fire them, nothing is lost, as the system has crashed, and the bodies need to be cleared out to make way for rebuilding, as Biden has promised. If not, it just reaffirms the realization that under these idiots, decline and collapse are all we can expect.

Deal with the Teacher’s Unions the same way President Ronald Reagan dealt with the Air Traffic Controllers. Give them one chance to return to the classroom, keep the teachers who do, and permanently terminate the recalcitrant ones from ever working in the profession again.
Don’t worry about a shortage of teachers. There’s an abundance of bright, successful, broadly experienced, conscientious, and out-of-work patriotic Americans fully capable of doing twice the job these lazy, selfish, halfwit, commie indoctrinators could ever do. Hell, most of them can’t balance their own checkbooks, locate the Amazon River on a map, or write a coherent paragraph.
Indeed, getting rid of most teachers and the Democrat Party’s criminal enterprise shakedown unions that demand compulsory ‘dues’ to protect these incompetent illiterates from public exposure and well deserved condemnation would be the necessary first step in restoring actual learning to America’s public schools.

Geeze, why doesn’t he just come right out and say to send all the Jews to concentration camps and get rid of them. Seems he is not very happy with the existence of the Jews.

This jerk, Randi Weingarten, is a Jewish woman.

With perks and expense reimbursements, Randi Weingarten gets paid almost $500,000 per year.

Average teacher gets a little more than $50K.

I looked it up.

And Randi Weingarten was one of Biden’s considerations for Secretary of Education.

True. Basically everything she wrote was a cheap shot. Her screed was so horrible I didn't know where to start. Glad you took on that task.
