American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten has in recent weeks made some desperate attempts to blame Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republicans for parents turning to private schools in increasingly large numbers. Weingarten has also made quite a statement on school choice, albeit completely unintentional. Here it is:
This parent chooses to drive her students to a school district that has a mask mandate. Masks save lives and limit the spread of #COVID https://t.co/qELdrpuweU

I agree with Randi Weingarten that we should make it easier for parents to choose their children’s school. https://t.co/V1w6mdJf1q

School choice is a wonderful thing! Looks like even the teachers unions are noticing that.

This isn’t the first time Weingarten has accidentally endorsed school choice.
