Liz Warren Took Thousands From Teachers’ Unions Before Charter School Flip-Flop

WFB:

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren raked in tens of thousands of dollars from teachers’ unions before reversing her past support for student vouchers and education reform.

In 2004, Warren argued that vouchers “relieve parents” from relying on failing public schools. Her campaign’s newly-released education plan attacks charter schools and school choice. Warren’s reversal comes after the Massachusetts senator took more than $2.5 million in campaign cash from the education industry throughout her political career, including nearly $70,000 from the country’s most powerfulteachers’ unions, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) quickly praisedWarren’s plan, calling it “rooted in respect,” “bold,” and a “game-changer.” The proposal, described as a “teachers union dream,” marks yet another example of the influence public sector organized labor has on the 2020 Democratic presidential field. On Tuesday, Warren flew to Chicago to participate in a teachers strike that has affected hundreds of thousands of students. read more

  1. She’s always been a liar, deliberately based her entire life on lies.

    Why anyone believes her about anything is beyond me.

    Do people not realize good things don’t come from lies, only bad things do?

  2. “bold,” and a “game-changer.”

    Really? The people who wrote the current rules. For the people that write the current rules. To pay off the people that game the current rules. Support. Anything. “Bold”. That “changes” their game. Really?
