Randi Weingarten couldn’t WAIT to share a bunch of misinformation on Twitter about a list of books being banned in Florida. We get it, she and her ilk HATE Florida for putting kids and parents before her crap union but c’mon, she should have at least double-checked before tweeting it out like it’s the truth.
She did eventually delete the tweet (after several hours) after getting called out over and over and over for it, but only said, ‘My bad,’ and sent a link where the many books evil Republicans are banning can be found.
And she wonders why she’s losing more and more support:
I should have double checked before I retweeted this list. My bad. Looks like some of the books weren’t banned. Book bans are very real & dangerous. For an accurate list go to red, wine & blue https://t.co/ohR4ntMYZW & pen america https://t.co/r5AZbNgoTQ pic.twitter.com/AU3F5E9BaP

Her bad.
Right.
And here is why more people are advocating for school choice. https://t.co/dkhimLbBkf

Jay made a good point about school choice … so of course, The Expert™ Tom Nichols totally missed it.
He’s really getting good at being wrong; maybe that’s his new expertise?
So that their kids can't accidentally read "Of Mice and Men" or "1984?"

Really? Trump broke this guy. Bigly.
Jay fired back.
Or maybe because the head of the one or the largest teacher unions in the United States was stupid enough to quote tweet an entirely bogus list of “banned” books in Florida. https://t.co/HTdrxz58jt

He’s right, you know.
Dunno about Florida, @JayCaruso, but "1984" and "Of Mice and Men" are routinely among the books most challenged and banned. Getting fished in by a list that misattributes where? Okay, good gotcha.
But those books *are* routinely on book-ban wish-lists. That's a real thing. https://t.co/QrVm35oI8q— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 21, 2022
Where? What lists?
Prove it, Tom.
Randi GUSHED over his tweets.
Exactly right Tom… I should have double checked, because the point is why are these books being banned…

She’d have to ask Democrats in California why they wanted to ban, ‘To Kill A Mockingbird,’ and ‘Huck Finn.’
Oh, we know why … but clearly she needs to hear it again.
She is inept and presides over our children. 70-year-old lady says, "my bad." FFS………. https://t.co/Ymn6m8fjFr

Time to abolish the teacher’s unions.
Past time.
They proved that during the government lockdowns.
Anyone who saw this list and didn't immediately know it was totally fake is a complete and utter moron and can be safely ignored forever https://t.co/fD7uzW29bL

And the Biden administration let her play a huge role in education during their lockdowns.
Scary stuff, right? There’s a reason kids are at least two years behind … thank a teacher’s union!
This ignorant lowlife has ruined the lives of children . Thug . https://t.co/lPWI6JZ8VT

Ohhhhh so she’s a liar. Got it. https://t.co/tSHwVnyzXv

Either she’s a liar or she’s not very bright.
Maybe both?
When you're always looking to take a political scalp you're bound to get flanked.
More so when you've forgotten what your actual job is and all you focus on is politics.
Weingarten is helping nothing… https://t.co/Uk1Gzh2ELj

Randi sorta walks it back.
That being said, states get to decide what books are included in their curriculum. It’s not up to unions. https://t.co/tLpaEDw3BK

Teacher’s union head gets caught spreading misinformation yet again. Just increase her funding though guys! https://t.co/sqX1dOfaIs

Yeah, THAT’S the problem! She just needs more of our tax dollars and then next time she’ll get it right.
