American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten is keeping an eye on the global response to the delta variant of COVID-19 and noting that the nation, as well as workers, need to be prepared to adapt.
We as a nation and as workers need to be prepared to adapt as the delta variant develops. https://t.co/UeMnbSHseP

Adapt in what ways, we wonder.
Everyone knows what you're doing here.

The nation has adapted & done their jobs for the last 1.5 yrs while unions pushed back at the slightest suggestion that they should adapt or assume any risk. I’m a PT and worked as a sub & midday monitor so more kids could get in school because of teacher exemptions. Get bent.

I was asked to sub, and when I said I needed to find childcare for my youngest, it was suggested that 8 days should be long enough. Meanwhile, teachers have had childcare exemptions since January which extend through 30 June. I adapted and figured it out. Your turn.

Well said.

Randi is preparing us for teachers to return to not teaching in the fall
— Kevin Dalton (@NextLAMayor) June 29, 2021
Wow, right on time for school to start in the fall! Just a “coincidence” I’m sure Randi!
— Megan Becker (@MeganBecker8) June 29, 2021
You can feel the set up for "remote school is necessary" in the fall.
— FeralQuokka (@FeralQuokka) June 29, 2021
So does this signal your so predictable walk back on being “all in” for the full return to in person school?

Try to contain your zeal at the prospect of screwing over our kids for another year and delivering another mostly-teaching-free year to your union members.

Lol yeah we are done. By all means anyone that wants to stay masked, locked inside, as a vaccinated person, go for it. Idgaf. But no one is getting locked down again. Or “adapting”.
— Jennius 💙 (@MadLew) June 29, 2021
Agreed. Best adaptation is to allow full funding of school. That way parents can home school

Shouldn't you be talking to someone who is remotely close to, I dunno, like education?
— Leigh (@sybilll) June 29, 2021
I’ll take my advice from a doctor thanks.

the scary sounding “delta variant” also known by sane people as the sniffles
— Wayne (@wcarson) June 29, 2021
Here we go, trying to set table for more restrictions. Well we know the vaccines are working against all the variants and we’re done “adapting”
— Kemba (@kembageorge) June 29, 2021
Nope. Vaccine works against this variant too. No more restrictions are needed.

Be prepared to adapt to parental choice!

If the UPS guy can work, so can you. Come to think of it, I’d rather have the UPS guy teaching my kids.
— Jack Offdorsey (@OffdorseyJack) June 29, 2021
I had my grandkids with me for a whole year doing their remote learning. Do not put that evil on those poor kids again.

I’m adapting by removing my children from public school
— Joanna Harberson (@HarbersonJoanna) June 29, 2021
If parents started recording the virtual classes so they could be used in court. The teachers would demand schools open by the next morning…
— ZombieSlayer (@POdVet) June 29, 2021
We as a nation need to be prepared to defund teacher's unions and ignore most of the corporate media.
— RidiculouslySpoiledCat❌ (@spoiled_the) June 29, 2021
What we really need is for you, specifically you, to take your hands off the throat of America's children and go away. Slink back into whatever unholy crevice you emerged from and stop terrorizing the country.

I’ve been working through this whole thing, always dealing with people in their homes, I’ve been exposed countless times. You can go to hell. I’m done with playing your games.

You’re the variant
— Greg Tucker (@GregTuc04679122) June 29, 2021
The only 'variant' is developing a new lie to keep businesses shut down and people locked down. You should be ashamed but you've made a career of lying to protect your gravy train
