but wait I was told Randi Weingarten was the school reopening champion
Chicago Teachers Union is an affiliate of Randi Weingarten's AFT
and stop calling school closures "remote learning"
if employees are expected to show up to work in person and they don't, that is a strike, not a "remote work action."

teachers unions wouldn't be such "easy targets" if they didn't fight so hard against reopening.

NEW: Chicago Teachers Union membership just voted to take a "remote work action" (with 73% in favor) starting tomorrow.
if Walmart employees don't show up to work, families can take their money elsewhere

if public school employees don't show up to work, families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere.

the money doesn't belong to the closed government schools.
they're actually complaining about allowing families to access other options when the government institutions are closed.

it's time to free families from the clutches of the teachers unions once and for all.

power-hungry teachers unions are the special interests.
if a Walmart closes families can take their money elsewhere.

if a public school closes families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere.

wake up, parents.
if Walmart employees refuse to work in person, families can take their money elsewhere

if public school employees refuse to work in person, families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere.
families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere regardless.

education funding is meant for educating children - not for propping up and protecting a particular institution.

we should fund students, not systems.

now apply that logic to government schools.
Families are required to subsidize education they disagree with in the current system

Funding students directly would empower families to choose schools that align with their values.
That students' educational needs are diverse strengthens argument against forcing them into a one-size-fits-all system.

Fund students directly so families can choose schools that best meet their needs.
