So you hate teachers then?[/quote]

NP. I hate the WTU. I think they are crooked. They are a detriment to our kids' education. I also love teachers.

If you can't differentiate between teachers and the WTU then...you probably collect a paycheck from the WTU.  [/quote]

Teachers are the WTU. So yes you hate teachers.[/quote]

The self delusion of some people is really astonishing. To claim you don’t hate teachers but hate the WTU is not only wild, but completely divorced from reality. WTU represents 90-95% of DCPS teachers, so if said person is claiming they hate WTU, they definitely hate public school teachers at the very least.[/quote]

This
This 100 percent.  When posters say they hate the union, they mean they want the right to treat teachers like their servants, hover over them like the Gestapo, interfere with their ability to do their jobs, judge them for being successful or failing at what they do notwithstanding that they themselves are no more qualified to judge then vice-versa, and fire them at will.  They want the right to be adverse to teachers and not to work in tandem with that.  And that means they hate teachers, and that the WTU is necessary to protect teachers from their haters.[/quote]

Even union people hate teachers unions. Them and police unions are the worst. I remember how the WTU cynically turned the pandemic into the world's longest paid vacation. Our kids are still paying the price. [/quote][/quote]

Why is everyone talking as if DC was the only major city to go remote for so long?  It wasn't by a long shot.[/quote]

And the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 were freedom fighters, right?[/quote]

Please explain how that analogy makes any sense whatsoever.  [/quote]

Rewriting history that we all lived through. You're not fooling anyone. You just look like a huge liar. [/quote]

I'm not re-writing history at all.  I agree that in retrospect schools should have and could have opened earlier and that kids were hurt and still are by the decision.

But hindsight is 20/20, WTU wasn't the only union to make that mistake, and it's unfair and says a lot about you if you really think the WTU took the position that it did because "teachers didn't want to work."  That just means you really do hate teachers.

Yes, except there were people who were advocating for schools to reopen at the time. And people were acting like it was heresy to even suggest it, and that if you did suggest it at the time you were told that you wanted teachers to die. Remember how people treated Emily Oster when she said Schools needed to reopen?[/quote]

WTU demagogued the shit out of the pandemic. I remember them carrying around child size coffins. [/quote]
