teachers union prez: Jews want schools open because they are part of ownership class

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten drew accusations of anti-Semitism after challenging Jewish Americans in a new interview.

The controversy came in response to an interview published in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency last week, in which Weingarten was quoted as describing "American Jews" as "now part of the ownership class" in response to a question about Jewish critics of the teachers’ union’s power and influence amid a coronavirus school reopening fight.

"Jews were immigrants from somewhere else, and they needed the right to have public education," she said. "And they needed power to have enough income and wealth for their families that they could put their kids through college and their kids could do better than they have done. Both economic opportunity through the labor movement and an educational opportunity through public education were key for Jews to go from the working class to the ownership class."


She continued, "What I hear when I hear that question is that those who are in the ownership class now want to take that ladder of opportunity away from those who do not have it."

No biggie, just the top national teacher union official engaging in blatant anti-Semitic tropes

Her comment doesn’t even make sense. How are jews that want schools open “pulling the ladder out from under the less advantaged”

The opposite is true. School closures have fricked the poor.

Of course, she’ll get by this unscathed. Major media will ignore and there will be no calls for her to resign

Imagine if YOU made some comment in your capacity as an employee of your company about Jews being the ownership class of America.
You’d likely be gone
