The American Federation of Teachers lobbied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on, and even suggested language for, the federal agency’s school-reopening guidance released in February.
The powerful teachers union’s full-court press preceded the federal agency putting the brakes on a full re-opening of in-person classrooms, emails between top CDC, AFT and White House officials show.
The emails were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative watchdog group Americans for Public Trust and provided to The Post.
The documents show a flurry of activity between CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, her top advisors and union officials — with Biden brass being looped in at the White House — in the days before the highly-anticipated Feb. 12 announcement on school-reopening guidelines.
“Thank you again for Friday’s rich discussion about forthcoming CDC guidance and for your openness to the suggestions made by our president, Randi Weingarten, and the AFT,” wrote AFT senior director for health issues Kelly Trautner in a Feb 1 email — which described the union as the CDC’s “thought partner.”

Science!
Union school teachers care about themselves, numero uno, only.
Sham is they are given false credit for wanting to teach young minds.
The teachers needed time off so they could riot with ANTIFA.. And, by the way, get payed to do it..! :(
“even suggested language for, the federal agency”
I’m sure that is a very common practice.
Public Employee Unions are a health hazard to a Republic.
‘Sham is they are given false credit for wanting to teach young minds.’
suburban females think public school teachers walk on water; and like it or not, they are the most powerful and sought after voter block...
Here is a funny story.
Two married tenured college professors live two houses down.
Ever since the Michigan Psycho governor Herr Vhitmer the Insane locked us down last year, they have struggled.
Hardend Dems, they voted for her. Got what they deserved.
Their attention has turned to at least 3 hours of yard work each day.
They lost their identities because of who they voted for.
That taste alone should be the next epic intergalactic ice cream flavor.
They voted for Biden/Harris because why, they are the most educated retards to ever live.
Watching as they deteriorate mentally from their own decisions... well let’s just say my give a sht meter is pegged at 0.
Federal agencies don’t really give a stuff about what the public thinks of them. What they care about is what their Congressional committees think about them. So, who was the AFT influencing in Congress, and what did said committee promise the CDC in exchange?
They should be called the American Federation Against Students.
Annnndddd......what will become of this revelation?
duhhhhh
