Finally! Teachers union president Randi Weingarten releases statement on Syria

The last thing we would want is comments from people and groups with no understanding of the situation. (Turns off Twitter)

Stop the presses! American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten has something she needs to say:

I just got a press release, from major national TEACHER'S union (AFT), with a statement on…airstrikes in Syria? Seriously? pic.twitter.com/anKHSGGWBE

Oh. Well, in that case …

Seriously, though. At the risk of sounding like a certain heroine of Weingarten’s, what difference, at this point, does it make what the AFT thinks about Syria?

someone thinks they're a lot more important then they really are.

Apparently all unions are just generalized mouthpieces for the Democratic Party, rather than advocating for their specific workers or trade.
