Mike Pompeo seems to think that the greatest threat to the Republic is Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers.

I cannot say that I disagree.

Teachers’ union leadership was pro-lockdown, pro-distance learning, pro-masking, and was integral to lobbying the DOJ to paint parents as domestic terrorists.

Not only do these organizations ferociously resist any rule or regulation that might hold themselves accountable for achievement scores that had plummeted even before students spent the better part of the past two school years exiled to a union-demanded homeschool purgatory, but now they’re insisting they — not parents or even the teachers they claim to represent — be given sole authority over what our youngsters are taught.

We now have the lowest test scores in math and reading in 30 years.

…

Not surprisingly, the unions’ preferred curriculum gives short shrift to outdated subjects like reading, writing, mathematics, hard science or, heaven forbid, civics. In their place, Weingarten and her acolytes would substitute a witches’ brew that emphasizes racial scapegoating, environmental scaremongering, revisionist history, and unapologetic admiration for all things socialist.

But it gets even worse.

In addition to transforming taxpayer-supported public schools whose goal should be to turn out educated, productive, well-adjusted young adults into the sort of indoctrination center more commonly associated with a Soviet gulag, teachers’ unions have now added sexual deviance to their to-do list.
