When a teacher attempted to discuss effective methods for teaching reading and writing with NEA union members, their response spoke volumes about teachers' unions in America: “We don’t have time for that. We’ve got to fight Trump.” Becky Pringle, the president of the NEA, went on to say, “We...

In a move that should outrage every parent in America, teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten is threatening legal action to stop President Trump’s executive order dismantling the Department of Education. Instead of supporting a plan that puts more money and control in the hands of parents and states, Weingarten and her union are fighting to keep the corrupt failing D.C. bureaucracy intact—prioritizing their own power over the success of America’s children. For decades, the Department of Education has spent over $3 trillion while test scores have plummeted, in including Democrat-run cities where students are trapped in failing schools. Nearly three-quarters of eighth graders can’t do basic math, and seven-in-ten struggle to read. But instead of fixing this disaster, Weingarten and her union (American Federation of Teachers) is focused on keeping their political machine running—blocking reforms, protecting bad teachers at the expense of students, and demanding more taxpayer money with nothing to show for it EXCEPT BAD RESULTS.” To be clear, statistics show that the Board of Education has failed at its mission of education students properly, and if we are one hundred percent honest with ourselves, the teachers must take some of the responsibly. But it seems like teachers unions will fight to keep kids failing as long as they have job security- regardless of the teacher’s results. The American Federation of Teachers has even taken the position in the past that the teachers union will fight for children once they start paying union dues. And this conflicted organization that is now suing the Trump Administration. I asked Secretary of Education Linda McMahon her thoughts on Weingarten’s lawsuit threat. Cara Castronuova- "Do you have a comment on the lawsuit being filed by Randi Weingarten?" Secretary McMahon said- "I have not had any conversation yet with Randi Weingarten. About a week ago her comment was the President wanted to take education away from children, which is clearly not the case. He wants to improve education for children. He want to get those dollars even more dollars back to the states without the bureaucracy of Washington. So that's our plan, that's our goal. I would be happy to meet with her and talk about it." The real question is—how much longer will parents allow teachers’ unions that protect teacher’s big salaries and job security (even when there are failed results) to hold their children’s future hostage? Why should failing teachers be protected by a union at the expense of your child’s education? If a teacher isn’t doing their job, shouldn’t they be fired—just like in any other profession? Instead, the unions fight tooth and nail to shield bad teachers from accountability while American students fall further behind. President Trump’s executive order is a wake-up call. The Department of Education has failed, and now the very people partially responsible for its failure are fighting to keep control. Will parents and lawmakers finally take a stand against teachers unions that have no interest in student outcomes? Or will Weingarten and her allies succeed in putting their power above our child’s futures? Remember, in the end GOD wins! Donald J. Trump Rapid Response 47 Mike Lindell LindellTV Rudy W.

Sara Nelson, head of the Association of Flight Attendants union, talks about plans to shut down critical infrastructure as part of the insurgency against ICE. What she describes is a textbook case of how unions and other civic organizations use the power of their membership to join insurgencies. "I called on the labor movement to talk about a general strike" in solidarity with the operation against ICE, Nelson says in this February 1 Zoom call. The general strike is planned to take place on May 1, which is International Workers Day (more on that later). What she Nelson says is revealing. It shows the raw emotion and ideological extremism of the flight attendants' union, and how the union leadership exploits the membership to force a strike to support the anti-ICE operation. Pay attention to her use of words: "General strike." In revolutionary practice, a general strike is not to meet economic or labor demands, but to challenge and overthrow the political and economic order by paralyzing the economy and imposing hardship on the public. This is a term of insurrection or insurgency. It creates parallel power structures. Leon Trotsky viewed general strikes as the last step before armed insurrection. "Capitalism unchecked." Anarchists and Marxists have different views of this term, but in general, the term is understood to mean that capitalism is irredeemably evil and oppressive, and that oppression must be resisted or "checked." It does not mean checks and balances in the American sense. It implies the urgency of action to check the oppressor. Repetition of "fight" and "demand." Working-class movements that exhort people to "fight" and "demand" are calling for class struggle against established institutions. The words are not metaphors, but calls for direct action to build toward the overthrow of existing society. Demands are ultimatums that provide focus for the fight. "Jacobin." Nelson recommends a reading from the website about unions organizing against ICE. The Jacobins were he most extreme element of the French Revolution, the Robespierre faction that orchestrated The Terror and the mass beheadings with the guillotine. Marx, Engels, and Lenin praised the Jacobins. In her 11-minute monologue, Nelson dwells heavily on working class history, tying an industry-specific "safety strike" to labor conflicts from 1981 and 1914, and extending solidarity to a larger cause that has nothing to do with the airline industry, safety, or organized labor. She calls for acts of "redemption" for unions' failure to stand by Air Traffic Controllers strike from 44 years ago. She combines "massive inequality" and "capitalism unchecked" with "private prisons," "slavery," and "ICE." She demonizes the entire free enterprise system: "We have to be really clear that Capitalism has no humanity attached whatsoever." Nelson urges people lot read a article about "why unions need to care about this movement and need to make immigration central to the concerns of union members." Her approach is a rehash of Stalin's Comintern-era "popular front" broad coalition strategy: "The capitalists have used racism and sexism to divide us" and "the immigrants and refugees to try to divide us as well." "The only way that we can build up power is if we do it collectively," she adds. Nelson frames the mass hiring of ICE agents in old Marxist class struggle terms. In her words, the Trump administration is providing "good paying jobs" at ICE to be "pitted against the rest of the working class." More pure class struggle words, straight out of Marx and Lenin: "It's also important, as a union leader myself, that we all have to be preparing for a general strike. We all have to be preparing for that strike readiness. That is fundamentally the check on capitalism." The flight attendants' union chief says that many in her organization don't "understand" the urgency: "I have more work to do in my own union on this ... and we are starting to see this seep into our airports" with ICE agents pursuing targets on aircraft. She explains, in her own words, why the Association of Flight Attendants union is tied directly to "mass action" and "getting into the streets": "For the people who are trying to get the tools tonight about what to do next, understand that the only way that we are going to have mass action is if everyone understands what the problem is," Nelson says. "And if everyone understands what the demands are about why we're getting into the streets. The people of Minneapolis understand this very well because the fight was brought to their doorsteps." (Gets emotional, chokes back tears.) There is no alternative but to fight, she says: "People have no choice but to fight." She talks about a 1914 strike of immigrant coal miners. "They were experiencing what Minneapolis is experiencing today. They were experiencing violence from the state." (Chokes up again) Nelson whips up a siege mentality to put people in a fighting mood: "we have to organize. ... we have to talk about the fight that is coming to our doorsteps all across this country. We have to organize around that. We have to set our demands. The people of Minnesota have set their demands, and they're very clear about it. It is immediate demands, about ICE out...." She is not calling for pressure on politicians as much as pressure on the private companies that keep America running. In her words: "this is not about putting pressure on the White House. This is about putting pressure on the people who control our economy. So define the problem, set your demands, back up your demands with what you are willing to do - that is the strike readiness that you're preparing for - and add urgency. And in this moment there could not be more urgency. So we stand with you and we are preparing and having those conversations in our union about how to shut it down ...."
