“When what you’re doing sounds like an Onion headline, stop,” Bill Maher advises the country’s leading institutions weekly on HBO. Here’s an example from the president of a teachers’ union.
Cecily Myart-Cruz, president of United Teachers of Los Angeles, told LA Magazine that she is not concerned about the lost education students amassed over the past year. In fact, Myart-Cruz thinks the students are better off, after learning the meaning of an insurrection, a riot, and a protest.
Again, this is not an article from The Onion:
“It’s OK that our babies may not have learned all their times tables,” Myart-Cruz says. “They learned resilience. They learned survival. They learned critical-thinking skills. They know the difference between a riot and a protest. They know the words insurrection and coup.”
That’s a disgusting response from Myart-Cruz.
For background, the United Teachers of Los Angeles is the union that demanded teachers not teach remotely for more than four hours a day, despite pay for a full day. Moreover, UTLA posted the following headline to justify its actions:
“The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States underscores the deep equity and justice challenges arising from our profoundly racist, intensely unequal society.”
Such a statement intends to end debate. However, it had the opposite effect.
Past studies say that virtual learning disproportionately hurts minority students who don’t have access to standard internet requirements. And the LA Magazine also found that two-thirds of students largely ignored the assignments teachers posted for them to accomplish.
So, I ask, Ms. Myart-Cruz: was it the pandemic that underscored “equity and justice challenges” or your union?
Luckily for students over which the UTLA has influence, the meanings of an insurrection and riot are prerequisites to all jobs across corporate America. The hell with the timetables, multiplication, reading, and social interaction.
No words, other than what stupid C-U-Next-Tuesday
If only the alleged teacher knew the meanings of “insurrection,” “coup,” and “protest.” If only.
setting those kids up to be gubment workers.
About time for union busters.
Only thing worst than this are the stupid MF Fox News has convinced to take horse and Cattle drugs as a cure for the Covid 19 Virus.
Anyone that ever loved you was wrong.
LOL!!! Classic, Aaron!
Awwwwww… Don’t be mad at me because your Momma was convinced to take medicine for horses and Cows. Stupid MF
What`s up, negro? Speaking of your momma, she was real good the other night (again). Your daddy sure loved it since he held the camera the whole time. She said it was the best dick she`s ever had, especially because it was white. Tell her to stop calling me . though. She needs a break. It`s for her own good. Tell her I said hi, bitch.
Logical fallacy, dummy. Do you even know what that is? You are stupid beyond belief. Ban this POS. He contributes less than zero to this forum.
You must have gone to school in LA county, because you know nothing about science. Are you not going to take antibiotics if you have a bacterial infection? They use antibiotics on animals too….. You are a fool and most likely the result of an LA county or inner city school where the Democrats purposefully keep you stupid and compliant.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Somewhere, two villages have lost their idiots.
If a child knows the meaning of those things, I can assure you that they do NOT have critical thinking skills. In fact, the last thing progressives like Myart-Cruz want is people to think critically.
It’s dystopian
She is also signaling to a future trend. These teachers really don’t care wether these kids learn anything or not. Positive / negative outcomes will be determined be how many mindless activist clones they can churn out

Run for political office including school boards so nut jobs like this can stop having influence over our most precious resources!
