American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said it was “the height of hypocrisy” for DeVos to criticize teachers.
One of America’s largest teacher’s unions has hit out at Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, accusing her of hypocrisy and failing to listen to the needs of both teachers and students.
“I think it's important that adults have adult disagreements on adult time, and that they not ultimately hurt kids in the process,” DeVos said. “I think too often they're doing so by walking out of classrooms and having arguments in the way that they are.” Weingarten suggested it was “the height of hypocrisy” for DeVos to “make it impossible for teachers to teach” and then blame the teachers for drastic action. After all, she added, strikes “are never a first resort, they are always a last resort.” This is something Weingarten believes the general public already knows. “The public understood…that teachers want what children need,” she explained. “Teachers went on strike for kids, not on kids.
“I’d be delighted if Betsy wants to get all teachers close to $200,000—they deserve that—and so much more,” Weingarten added, before remarking on the wealth held by DeVos billionaire family. “We could do this if Betsy worked with us to revoke tax cuts for rich people. She won’t even have to give up the summer homes and the yachts.”
