Good attempt, Randi, however individuals haven’t forgotten.
Karol Markowicz remembers in any other case:
She’s a liar. Once more, Weingarten saved colleges closed for all of college 12 months 20-21 wherever she had energy after which in July of 2021 she stated they have been going to “attempt” to open colleges for the subsequent faculty 12 months. (Main typo mounted) https://t.co/vUEttGexJx

Even a 12 months later the academics’ union chief didn’t appear to be in any rush to renew in-person studying in every single place:
Keep in mind, that is summer time 2021. Colleges had been open for a 12 months in every single place besides the place @rweingarten had affect. https://t.co/seumpzQPZW

In different phrases, Weingarten saying she was pushing for colleges to open as shortly as potential was full BS.
Christina Pushaw provides one other fact-check to Weingarten’s gaslighting try:

Markowicz known as it in June of 2021:
I do know the pleasant left media goes to attempt to place Randi freaking Weingarten as a hero of the pandemic however I might be there each time to say that is bullshit and if there’s one particular person in charge for why American youngsters didn’t get faculty for the final 12 months, it is her.
