On April 21, AFT union president Randi Weingarten tweeted her support of continued mask use on airplanes.
“Me too… Why I’ll continue to wear a mask while traveling,” she tweeted:

And then 7 days later, she was partying maskless, indoors, at the National Teacher of the Year gala:
It was so great to be at the National Teacher of the Year gala last night. I want every educator to know how grateful we are for their dedication to students. #NTOY22 @CCSSO pic.twitter.com/apucjMgou7

We’d really like Randi to have one of her teacher friends explain why she needs a mask while breathing in filtered air on an jet but not in a stuffy ballroom filled with people laughing and talking:
Being with educators like Willie Carver, Mandy Manning and Kurt Russell is just awesome. These educators go above and beyond for students every day. pic.twitter.com/8hGd6F9kqt

It’s almost as if she full of it on when to wear a mask or not:
The number one issue educators all around the country right now
are facing is that kids have significant effects from this pandemic. @DFT231 members & leaders have done a fantastic job providing necessary support for their students. https://t.co/3e7lSUM89w— Randi Weingarten 🇺🇦🇺🇸💪🏿👩🎓 (@rweingarten) April 20, 2022
Is anyone wearing a mask?
And great to see National PTA Executive Director Nathan Monell. Parents and educators are united to help students. pic.twitter.com/fxe5XSr2F6

Oh, it gets better. The AFT promotes mask usage sometimes:

Like during a protest:

But not Randi! She has her own rules:
We tell folks that if they get an education, they can be anything they want. But then we don’t give the people who teach in those universities the life they deserve. #GEOonStrike pic.twitter.com/Ox9OsVfA0V
