Nat'l Teachers Union Prez Panicked DeSantis Will Trigger Flight To Private Schools
[DAILYWIRE] The powerful head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, is apparently panicked that the policies of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will trigger parents to pluck their children out of public schools, where Weingarten and her ilk can inculcate their leftist messaging, and place them in private schools instead.
She doesn't seem to want to fix the problem by having her members stick to teaching and dump the politix.
On Thursday, Weingarten referencing an article in the leftist The New Republic that attacked DeSantis for his policies, tweeted, “This isn’t just about masks or about Governor DeSantis’ political aspirations. It’s about the complete destabilization of public education so that parents will choose private schools.”

#2 ^Don't worry about teachers promoting CRT. Worry about math teachers not being able to teach math - because they don't know any beyond rote memorization, science teachers who only talk about global warming, and English teachers who are functionally illiterate.

#3 Death spiral for government schools.

If they can't enroll more than 60-70 percent of the school-aged population, many schools will have to lay off teachers and other staff, which will reduce the range of academic offerings and extracurricular activities they can provide -- which in turn makes the school less attractive to parents who actually care about academic excellence.

Who then choose charters, or private schools or homeschools, and on the downward cycle goes
