The entire education system has but one purpose: To produce young people, citizens, with marketable skills. Those skills, ideally, should include an appreciation for the unique experiment in liberty that is the United States of America.
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten doesn’t see it that way. In fact, her loudmouthed activism seems not only to ignore education, but to actually be counter to what good education should be. She’s a rabble-rouser, not an educator, and never has that been more apparent than today. Case in point: At a “No Kings” rally in Philadelphia on Saturday, she not only engaged in a rant that was unhinged even for her, but in the process acted like she either had a bad case of St. Vitus’s dance or a live chipmunk in her undergarments. Watch:

What is with this person? Does she own stock in an itching powder factory, and is test-marketing their product?
Now, granted, those videos have a strange fascination, much like watching a train wreck hitting another, larger train wreck. But what all this tells us is that this woman should not be in any way connected to the nation’s education system.
Over 1,500 rallies will be held against Donald Trump across the USA tomorrow as part of what organizers have dubbed “No Kings Day.”
Critics say unions taking part are undermining their members by taking an overtly partisan stance. The American Federation of Teachers, American Postal Workers Union, and Communications Workers of America are all listed as partners of No Kings Day.
AFT president Randi Weingarten is set to speak at the Philadelphia No Kings Rally.
School choice activist Corey DeAngelis told The Post Weingarten’s involvement reveals “that teachers unions are more invested in political activism than in prioritizing education.”
“Their actions expose them as little more than an arm of the Democratic Party, pushing a radical agenda that puts taxpayers on the hook for funding the K-12 education of illegal immigrants,” DeAngelis said.
This comes as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to this harridan for any time at all. She has never cared about educational attainment; for her, it’s all about the left-wing activism, and the fact that she is out there, stumping to have education dollars spent on illegal aliens while at the same time whining about teacher pay and benefits – well, that speaks volumes.

Our education system has been in decline for some years now. Randi Weingarten and the AFT are a big part of the problem, and the best way we can fix this is the end federal and, preferably, all government involvement in education. Put it all back in the hands of parents, and let them bear not only the cost but the results. If a parent wants to send their kids to the Dylan Mulvaney Wiggles School for the Woke, great, on their heads be it; and if another parent sends their kid to the Elon Musk STEM Academy, more power to them as well. But there should be no teacher’s union, and certainly no national organization whose primary focus is not on education, but rather on left-wing indoctrination. And, honestly, public employee unions in general should be proscribed by law. They negotiate their contracts with the very politicians whose campaigns they support, and if that isn’t a fundamental conflict of interest, then there’s no such animal.
The purpose of education is to produce young adults – young citizens – with marketable skills. Randi Weingarten and the AFT couldn’t care less about that.
