OBSCENE: Messages Prove CDC Worked with Teachers Union to Keep Schools Closed

‘Thank you, friend’: Texts reveal close relationship between Biden’s CDC chief and teachers union bosses. These villains sacrificed our kids so they wouldn’t have to work. Unions have no in our schools.

School choice is the only answer to get away from these fiends.

Just released FOIA’d texts between teachers union heads and the director of the CDC

The claim by the CDC that the unions were merely one constituency among many who the CDC engaged with on school guidance was never credible. How many other groups had Walensky’s personal cell #? https://t.co/T3cGlkGySS

New York Post: American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten voiced concern to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky about the language of the federal agency’s February 2021 school opening guidance a day before it was made public, according to newly reported texts that shed light on their friendly relationship. The text messages showing the chummy exchange between Weingarten and Walensky were obtained by the Fairfax County Parents Association through a Freedom of Information Act request with the CDC. The text chains seem to show Walensky caving to pressure applied by Weingarten to keep schools shuttered in February 2021 and then thanking Weingarten, whom she refers to as her “friend,” after the union released a statement praising the health agency.

Daily Wire: The messages also show the president of the other major teachers union, the National Education Association’s Becky Pringle, texting directly with the head of the agency and appearing to invoke “diversity” as an argument to keep schools closed.
