Shockingly, CNN’s Scott Jennings absolutely laid into union boss Randi Weingarten over her fantastical claims that she fought to OPEN schools, and said he hears “no remorse” from her over the “generational damage” she caused.
This was ON the network TO her face.
I’m sure she was just as surprised as we are. And no doubt the producers were, too.
But speaking on behalf of millions of American parents — I have four at home, I had to teach them at home, my wife had to teach them at home — I am stunned at what you have said this week about your claiming to have wanted to reopen schools. I think you’ll find that most parents believe you were the tip of the spear of school closures. There are numerous statements you made over the summer of ’20 scaring people to death about the possibility of opening schools.
And I hear no remorse whatsoever about the generational damage that’s been done to these ki, I have two kids with learning differences. Do you know how hard it is for them to learn at home, and not in a classroom that was designed for them? And for you to sit in front of Congress and the American people and say ‘What? I wanted to open them the whole time.’ I am shocked, I am stunned, and there are millions of parents who feel the exact same way.
Don’t know how this slipped through the cracks at CNN but I’m sure they’ll correct the breach soon enough.
