Fox's Stuart Varney Wants Public Schools De-Unionized

Media Bites 2/02/21 10:59 am Read time: 2 minutes

It's not COVID that's caused massive problems around this country re: educating the kids, but the teacher's union... in this idiot's mind.
By John Amato

Like the entire conservative "movement," FOX Business host Stuart Varney really hates public school teachers. And now he's using his TV platform to attack the Teachers Union, claiming they've "abandoned teaching children" and therefore public school systems must now be de-unionized.

Varney used his "My Take" segment to vilify teachers, but never mentioned the pandemic that has put us here.

"Let's get real. let's tell it how it is, shall we? public education in our largest cities has collapsed. I use that word deliberately."
Why is that you ask?

Working class republicans have been brainwashed to think unions are socialism and something to despise.

he his in my opinion a scab, he was taught by teachers in England that more than taught this scab maybe it was the ................
National Union of Teachers (NUT)was a trade union for school teachers in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and they merged with another union...........so his parents put him in classes taught by unionized teachers........what a hypocrite

Scott Walker never misses a chance to attack public school teachers and their unions.

The defeated former governor of Wisconsin and failed 2016 presidential candidate has a new job, as the president and CEO of Young America’s Foundation, an ultra-conservative group that does not see the irony of a young “movement” being led by a 53-year-old career politician. In that position, Walker is crusading against abortion rights, denying climate change and making apologies for Donald Trump. But, mostly, he’s doing what he’s always done: bashing educators and the labor organizations that represent them. 🤮 🤮 🤮
