LA teachers union head bashed for claiming kids 'didn't lose anything' during lockdowns

The head of the Los Angeles teachers’ union faced backlash after claiming there’s "no such thing as learning loss" for students and that instead children learned "the difference between a riot and a protest."

"Our kids didn’t lose anything. It’s okay that our babies may not have learned all their times tables. 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," she said. Although the interview was released on Thursday, Myart-Cruz’s quotes have caused an uproar on Twitter.
