Wow, somebody learned absolutely nothing from the gubernatorial race in Virginia. Teachers’ unions are likely less popular than the media and Kamala Harris, but Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist has decided to name the head of the United Teachers of Dade as his pick for lieutenant governor. Karla Hernández-Mats has said Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “attacks” on educators are “what dictators do.”
Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, chose the head of the largest teachers union in the Southeast as his running mate — Karla Hernández-Mats. She has said about Gov. Ron DeSantis's attacks on educators, "This is what dictators do." https://t.co/pr15ArMChZ

Charlie has two choices:
Lose close or
Lose big.
He’s going to lose big by trying to make some sort of political statement that no one will listen to after November.

She advocated for school lockdowns, bad mouthed parents and sympathizes with Castro. Great choice. 😂

Dictators keep schools open while others close them?

The only victims in public education during recent times have been the students who’ve been forced to adhere to unscientific political policies.

Dictators mandate children wear masks in schools when it's deemed not necessary and force people to inject untested drugs into their system or lose their jobs. Those are things dictators do.

Opening schools and keeping them open is not an “attack on educators.” https://t.co/5gSkVf6yTz

Charlie Crist just picked Karla Mats as his running mate for Gov.
She’s the president of a teacher’s union who covered up for a teacher who pled guilty to sexual assault of a student. There were allegations against him for 12 YEARS & the union she was in charge of protected him pic.twitter.com/drIhP6pIto

Here’s her supporter. She covered for him for TWELVE YEARS while he raped, and may have impregnated, middle school children.https://t.co/5LuUpU43cZ

So, “teachers” are beyond reproach? Please.

Yes, in the new language of liberals dictators like DeSantis allow children to go to school while freedom fighters like Crist and Hernandez-Mats force kids to isolate at home, wear masks, fall behind socially and educationally and suffer increased anxiety and depression.

She fought to keep schools closed and kids out of them. She openly criticized parents who disagreed with that stance and had them silenced at school board meetings.
You're defending the wrong person here

Lockdown Karla and Creepy Crist

They call her Karla Marx. Crist really wants to lose this thing.
