Thiessen slams COVID class cancellations: 'Any teacher that refuses to teach should not be teaching'
Fox News
After a new report showed major school districts who accepted an aggregate of billions of dollars from the federal government in order to stay open amid coronavirus, many critics have called out teachers and their union leaders who suddenly are loath to return to their job.
AFT President Randi Weingarten recently tweeted that "until this [viral] surge, virtually all public schools were open for in person learning."
"We got it right for most of this current school year; now the adults have to work together and double down to get it right as we confront this surge. Omicron’s the enemy not each other," the union boss wrote.
On "The Story" Thursday, host Martha MacCallum asked if acceptance of federal funds without returning to the buildings – combined with allocation of relief money to left-wing "anti-racism" and "bias trainings" – should be considered misappropriation of tax money.
