The National Education Association is getting dragged across the country and back for a tweet that has a ratio that’s one of the most impressive we’ve ever seen:
An epic ratio, and for good reason:
Educators love their students and know better than anyone what they need to learn and to thrive.

Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos leads off the parade of reality checks for the NEA:
You misspelled parents. https://t.co/uMc9ozCUS7

Bingo!
Wrong. Parents know and love their children more than anyone. JFC https://t.co/VbPISxRx38

Parents love and know their children better than anyone else. Teachers are doing a job that PARENTS hired them for.

Teachers’ unions have done irreversible damage to trust in public education.
"You’re lucky to have me," and other things your abuser tells you, I mean and the teachers union tells you.

Dear @NEAToday
Parents: https://t.co/P4yQSwJtTG pic.twitter.com/INk59BHRIk— Torrey M. Spears 🇺🇸 (@torreymspears) November 14, 2022
Please keep telling parents that you know better how to raise their children.
Seriously, keep going. School choice is getting a huge boost nationwide and I feel like we have you to thank for it

The NEA was so confident everybody was going to agree with them that took a page from Randi Weingarten and disabled the replies.
Educators lost the trust of parents when schools were closed then our children were forced to wear masks for months on end. The damage done is irreparable – WE WILL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN! pic.twitter.com/7zjp9aiMhd

The final words for the NEA go to school choice warrior Corey DeAngelis, and it’s great advice:
delete your account.

Update: The NEA responded to Betsy DeVos this way:
Together, families and educators are an essential team for advocating for the resources and opportunities all students need. Out-of-touch billionaires, however, are not. https://t.co/I6gYIwZA0g

Pfft… please!
You don't get to pretend you give a damn about parents NOW, harpies. https://t.co/wIMAz9Hn1m

Are these the same families you wished to designate as domestic terrorists? https://t.co/beAzO34czx

They really hope everybody has suddenly developed amnesia.
