Teachers unions go for REVENGE AGAINST parents who stood up for parent's rights! NOW, THEY ARE STRIKING & laying off white teachers! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You may have seen an interesting trend happening in the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: country right now, and that is teachers are going on strike.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: They're demanding more money right as schools are starting all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: over the country. And why is this happening? Because they
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: understand how much power they have if they literally don't
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: show up for work. Teachers on August of twenty second
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: decided it was a good day in the Yorktown Middle
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: School District in Columbus, Ohio to go on strike. Teachers
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are now on strike in all of Columbus, Ohio, demanding
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: quote functioning air conditioning, even though that apparently isn't the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: real story. In Philadelphia, it's mostly bus drivers and other
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: workers who want better wages and quote more time off
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for training. These are local stories with a distinct connection.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They all are being fed by a national narrative that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: teachers are not getting the money that they are owed. Now,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: friends at Legacy Precious Medals. Without them, the show wouldn't
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: be possible. And if you have not looked at gold
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and silver as a way to protect your hard earned
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: dollars against what's happening on Wall Street with inflation, it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: time for you to call them and get the free
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Investor's Guide. Why because so many around the world are
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: now using gold and silver, and historically they have for
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: decades as a protection, a hedge against inflation, which is
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: exactly what we're dealing with right now. If you're terrified
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to look at your retirement account, you're four one case
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: statement because of what's happening on Wall Street. That's all
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the more reason why you should call and get the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: investors God in gold and silver, protect your hard earned
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: money and diversify. Call them and get the free Investor's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Guide from Legacy Precious Medals one eight six six seven
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: five one twenty two eighteen. One eight six six seven
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: five one twenty two eighteen are online at Legacy PM
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: investments dot Com. Now they're also trying to do this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right now as many Americans are advocating and supporting school choice,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: which is another issue that just tells you how stupid
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the left actually is that they think the time to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: renegotiate a deal is when school church is becoming more
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: popular than ever. One of the other issues that has
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: brought all of this to the forefront is the anger
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and disdain for you as a parent by school administrators.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: San Diego Unified School District president just came out right
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: before school started making it clear you as a parent
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: need to shut up about your kids. Parents who don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: want to wear a mask indoors in school? Are there
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: any other options for them? Well, the fall, there are
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: some options. They can go to our school that's online.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: They can opt not to return to the regular school,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but to go to the school where they don't have
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to go to school at all, other than via zoom.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And that's the easiest way for folks. About the summer school,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: what if they were already enrolled in the summer school
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and now they get this mask mandate and they're not
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: comfortable with wearing a mask, they really should wear the mask.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: If they're not comfortable, what should they do? They should
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just let make it known that they don't feel comfortable
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and at that point just not return. Yeah, just don't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: shut up parents. That's in San Diego, that school present
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: suggesting students who feel in comfort of wearing a mask
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: should not return to school at all. Right, because we're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the dictators, we're the tyrants, and you need to shut
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: up and By the way, if you challenge us, just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: remember your domestic terrorists. That's right, a domestic terrorist. We've
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: labeled you that way with a federal government. Chicago public
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: school students say that they are mad right that the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: parents and the kids are not being given a choice
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: on wearing masks, and we're still doing this in twenty
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: twenty two. This comes as Loudon County schools had some
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: major problems and the fathers have come together saying they
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't trust a school district. They're over some of their
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: cover ups. This is my first time speaking at a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: school board meeting, but I can no longer remain silent.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I have four young daughters, the oldest of which just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: entered loud County Public schools. I'm extremely concerned about the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: sexual assaults which occurred. A school should be a safe
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: place for children to come, not a place for the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: highest levels of leadership of the school district to cover
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: up what happens in the district. Let me get this straight.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: A high school student sexually assault another student and the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: penalty is to move into another school with an ankle brace.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: That's lunacy. What is also lunacy is lying to the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: victim's father in a public meeting about it, and then
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he's the one that gets in trouble. That is calling
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: good evil and evil good. Your policies are contributing to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: creating an unsafe environment in the schools. I do not
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: want boys in my daughter's bathrooms. I do not want
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: boys on my daughter's sports teams. How can I, as
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a father trust you as a superintendent and you as
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a school board to keep my daughters safe at school?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Why would I want to entrust you with all of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: our daughters once they become school age. The answers, I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: can't doctors. You're going to ask you to resign in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all the board members, I ask you to resign as well.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You may wonder why the dad was talking so fast.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: This is what erupted with school choice in this country
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: when Loudon County covered up the sexual assault of a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: student and then move that kid, as you just heard,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to another school. It's actually what turned into the big
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Virginia race and young can winning in Virginia. As you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: had the Democrats saying, I don't think parents should be
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: involved at all in their kids' lives in schools. You
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: should shut up and go home. Well, dropped your kid off,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: then shut up and go home. And if you want
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to know why that dad had to talk so fast,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's because Louden County decided to change the rules where
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you only had one minute to speak of the school
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: board meetings. That dad did all of that in fifty
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: two seconds. Now, I go back to the other big
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: problem that we're having in this country, and that is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you are seeing the unions where they're saying, all right,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you better get the best deal you can get right now,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and you better start picketing, and you better do it
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: quickly because we need a better deal in case they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: moved towards school choice. That's why in places like Columbus
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and Philadelphia they are picketing and striking right when school starts.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They're learning, by the way from places like Minneapolis and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Sacramento that have already done this, and teachers are increasingly
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: comfortable resorting to strikes, a tendency that predates COVID nineteen
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: pandemic standoffs over working conditions. Right the union back in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen in Chicago, they went on strike. In fact,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they did also in twenty eighteen. They call it the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Wave of for Education, and they did get higher pay
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and other benefits for teachers by striking in places like Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. An Urban Institute review
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: published in May of this year found evidence of nearly
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: seven hundred teacher strikes between twenty seven nineteen, and most
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of these occurred as part of the coordinated multidistrict efforts
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: after twenty seventeen by the unions. The analysis included any
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: example resulting in at least one school closing in a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: district and also included walkouts, sickouts, and other work stoppages. Now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they don't do it when they're off work in summer. No,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: they wait till they can hold your kid hostage. So
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: let's go back to Columbus and what's happening there. Columbus
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: is the largest school district in Ohio, and students in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the district may not be able to start school on
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: time now because the Columbus Education Association union is striking
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen seventy five. Now, rather
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: than report to school, these students may have to relive
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the pandemic and log in for remote learning the first
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: day of school Wednesday. According to the district's current plan.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They claim it's about air conditioning, not economics. But if
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you look at the internal emails have been sent out
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to teachers, they're clearly lying to you about this. The
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: union has said, the striking points are about learning conditions
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that parents have not complained about, and it's not about
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the district and wanting to guarantee smaller class sizes or
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: more specialized teachers for art, music, and physical education and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: elementary school. They say it's about functional heating and air
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: conditioning in the classrooms. They say they need more prep
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: time and a cap on the number of class periods
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that they must teach during the school day. This according
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to a statement from the union. So is it about
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: air conditioning. No, these scumbags on the left are lying
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and holding your kids hostage. Which is exactly why I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: go back to the issue of school choice. If this
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: is how they're going to teach your kids, are really
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not teach your kids. This how they're going to treat
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you and your children. Why wouldn't every parent America be
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in favor of school choice. Appearing on CNN by the way,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: from Columbus this week, the Columbus Education Association member and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: liberal media specialists Courtney Johnson. That's how she described herself.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Talked about the strike and argue the teachers are focusing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: on work conditions, not economics, saying, quote, our Columbus City
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: school students deserve a commitment to modern schools with properly
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: working heating and air conditioning and smaller class sizes and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: art and music and pe. Again, this is a billboard
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: campaign for them, right, stand with us, the teachers. We
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just want air conditioning for your kids, even though there's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: no argue that there's no big outage of air conditioning
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: or heating units. Right, the teachers union has never made
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this they say about economics. In fact, she said the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: school said schools there have been forced to close in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the past when air conditioners failed, and students in high
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: schools where she worked moved from hot rooms to cold rooms.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: She said, you can imagine how hard is to learn
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a classroom that's freezing cold or very hot. School board
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: wants to ask voters for more money, and the union
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: wants the board to use federal money. But really it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: about getting more money for less work. Is pay an issue? Well,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to lie to you on TV, but again from internal documents,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we know that pay is the issue. The district had
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: offered a three percent annual increase for three years. According
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to local news reports, that's not enough because the union
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is seeking an eight percent pay raise, something more in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: line they claim with inflation. But hold on, inflation is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: not happening. And I thought Biden at the White House
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: said there is no inflation. Didn't Joe Biden just say
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: zero percent inflation? Isn't isn't that what he said at
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the White House? Isn't it Biden who said inflation is
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: at zero and said it over and over again, zero
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: right at zero, it's at zero percent? Right where at zero?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He even said recently Biden's say on inflation? He said, oh, well,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: even if it happens, it's going to be temporary. I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: tell you. So, when do you when can Americans expect
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some relief from this sewering inflation? According to Nobel Lawrence fourteen,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: um the contact me and a number of corporate leaders,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's only to be able to start to taper off
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: as you go through this year, taper off through this year.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: When did he say that? He said that in February
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the eleventh, Right, and look at the date. Now, look
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: at where we are now right, But again he goes
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: back to zero. He says, these price increases are temporary,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not permanent. So why would you give eight percent raise?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: As the teachers in the Liberal party, if you're a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: liberal leader, you're god. Joe Biden is telling you it's temporary.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Our experts believe in the data shows that most of
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the price increases we've seen aren't. We're expected and I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: expected to be temporary. There you go, expected, expected to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be temporary, not a big deal, All right, So then
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: why doesn't the school board just look at them and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: say the present said it's temporary, why do you need
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: an eight percent raise? It's not clear the way from
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the recent reporting where the paid disagreement between the board
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and the union landed, and in Philadelphia there's another strike
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: threatening to start the school there, but it's not teachers
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: who are involved and said, it's employees represent under a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: contract with the union bus drivers. How do you start
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: school if the kids aren't at school? Bus attendance, bus mechanics,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: building cleaners, building engineers, and trade workers are all saying
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: we're going on strike, holding your kids hostage right before
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: school starts. We didn't do it in the summertime. No,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we're doing it right now on purpose because we don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: give a crap about actually educating your children. We just
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to work very hard and we want to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: get paid a lot of money. So let's go back
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to the overall idea right now, school choice. School choice
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: has become a very big issue, especially after parents were
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: able to see what their kids were being indoctrinated with
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: not being taught right in school in COVID in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: lockdowns when they were doing remote learning. You've got parents
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: now that have been activated that we're not paying attention,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and now they are. They're realizing how radical and how
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: extreme these school boards have become in this country. You
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: look at something else that just happened, and let's just
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: talk about schools for a moment here, and just how
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: shady the schools are. Look at what just happened on
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the issue of race. You may not realize this, but
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: there's a new endorsement from a school district to lay
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: off white teachers first. Yeah, white teachers are the ones
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they say that should go first in this country because
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: they don't deserve to have job security. And if you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: are laying off white teachers, then at least you're protecting
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the minority teachers, and it should be the white teachers
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that you get laid off, because that's a good thing, right,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: lay them off? Where do they say this? In Minneapolis,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the same place where they just had all of these
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: walkouts and are holding your kids hostage. A Minneapolis school
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: district is now defending their plan. This is racism to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: lay off white teachers. First, imagine how they're what they're
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: teaching your kids. The Minneapolis Public Schools defending its deal
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: with the teachers Union to lay off white educators ahead
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of their less senior minority colleagues, arguing that is a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: necessary measure to remedy quote the effects of past discrimination.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: This is reparations, folks. The school district released a statement
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to The Washington Times today offering a full throw to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: defense of the groundbreaking deal with the Teachers Union in Minneapolis,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: led by their president BRETA. Callahan, quote, to remedy the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: continuing effects of past discrimination. Minneapolis Public Schools and the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis Federation of Teachers mutually agreed to contract language that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: aims to support the recruitment and retention of teachers from
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: underrepresented groups as compared to the labor market into the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: community served by the school district. The district said in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: an email, in other words, if you're in a minority
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: district that's a lot of Hispanics or Asians or white
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: are African Americans, We're going to discriminate against hiring qualified
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: teachers if they're the wrong race. Right, That's what we'll
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: do now. It was previously reported that the terms of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the labor contract were to protect underrepresented population and keep
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the district predominantly white staff from having more power. I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: not joking. This is what they're doing. Are they educating
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: your kids? Know? They're now firing people based on the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: color of their skin. Under the new agreement between the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis School District and the Teachers Union, minority instructors quote
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: may be exempt from district wide layoffs outside of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: seniority Order, according to the Minneapolis News Why. The language
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of the contract reportedly states, quote, starting with the spring
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three budget tie out cycle, if accessing reducing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the district shall
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: excess the next least senior teacher who is not a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: member of an underrepresented population. Translation, get rid of the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: white teacher, no matter how good she is, or no
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: matter how good he is, before you lay off anybody
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that's a minority. The agreement, which was reached this summer
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in the wake of a two week teacher strike, has
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: been labeled illegal and unconstitutional by many critics. James Dickey,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: senior trial counsel with the Upper Midwest Law Center, said
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: openly discriminating against white teachers based only on the color
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of their skin and not their seniority or merit is illegal.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis Star Tribune report in June that sixteen percent of
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the district's tenured teachers and twenty seven percent of its
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: probationary teachers were people of color. Many politicians and activist parents. Now,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: conservative activists are condemning the new teachers contracts as straight
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: out racist. Minnieappolis state representative Jeremy Munson wrote on his
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Facebook page saying, quote, the Minniappolis Teachers Union has taken
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a racist approach and agreed to protect your job based
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: on your skin color, over your job performance and or seniority,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: meaning how long you've been serving the public school district.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: He said, I don't know who needs to hear this,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: but racist employment contracts have no play send our society.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: They don't care because this is the Democratic Party. They
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: don't care about your kids, they don't care about your
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: kids education, and they don't care if an amazing, unbelievable
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: teacher gets fired as long as they're white. Heritage Foundation
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: fellow Jonathan Butcher said to Fox News that Minneapolis contract
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not only does it violate the Civil Rights Act and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution, but they're
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: doing it knowing that it is racist. They said. The
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and national origin. Yet the Justice Department has not stepped
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in to stop this. Minneapolis Federation of Teachers president Greta
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Callahan led the strike in the spring and helped orchestrate
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the deal with the district to mandate white teachers get fired.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: First think is I think political posturing is what one
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: elected officials said on the race based approach to teachers layoff.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's not dealing with the most important issue, which is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: helping students right now with math and reading. Former Wisconsin
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Governor Scott Walker, who famously went to war with teachers
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: unions in his states slam the agreement as both racial
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and illegal. He said, this is another example why government
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: unions should be eliminated. But they're winning, and the unions
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: are realizing right now that they have an audience in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that will allow them to do illegal
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and racist hiring practices, because if the DAJ won't step
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in and stop this, then you can get away with it,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and there will be white teachers that are fired who
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: do an amazing job just because they are white and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the wrong race. Now, let's go back to school choice
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in what I was saying a moment ago about this.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: If you want to know why it's and so important
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: on the issue a school choice, this is exactly why
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: school choice is going to give the power back the people.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: And the unions know that this is a problem for them,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and that's why they're doing what they're doing right now.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Let me remind you of what Donald Trump said back
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty as he was a huge advocate for
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: school choice at the White House. At the heart of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: our strategy to create a prosperous future for every Hispanic
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: American as well as all Americans, is a great family
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of education. We are going to have a tremendous program
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and we have and you know, we're a believer in choice. Choice.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: The other folks don't believe in choice, and choice is
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a great civil rights issue and maybe the great one
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of our times. I'm going to fight to ensure that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: every Hispanic American parent has the freedom and the right
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to send your child to the public, private, charter, faith based,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: magnet home or independent school of your choice. The school
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of your choice. Giving taxpayers the right to decide where
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to put your kid in school is what America should
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: be about. We should make sure that we always give
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: parents the best opportunity to give their kids the best
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: education possible. That's what we need here. The NBA is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: racist for opposing school choice, and they are racist for
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: advocating supporting the firing of white teachers. First and foremost,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Betsy de Vos said parents need to have control, as
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: she put it, over a school choice. She said, this
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: is important for the future of our country and for
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: our kids. But we'll see where it is. It's very interesting,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you know, with regard to the loss of learning that
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you and I have talked about a lot. It's tragic
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: what happened during COVID and the Studies are now out
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: that show that students who were forced to learn at
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: home are in the worst shape. Those who had more
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: exposure to actual school are in better shape. But look
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: at these numbers of students who scored proficient or above
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in math. That number dropped fourteen percent in math and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: six percent in language arts. Betsy, and I was so
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: struck by this. You know, in this environment, you have
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: some schools that have now announced that they're going to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: close on Fridays and be remote just because it's I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: guess nice to be home on that day of the week.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: They took all of Thanksgiving off in a couple of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: these school systems when they should shouldn't they be in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a position where they're adding hours to make up for
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: what was lost. Now, absolutely, I mean the results are
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: tragic and we're only beginning to understand the full depth
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: of the problem. Defensive Freedom Institute did a study of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the twelve largest school districts and not surprisingly, the ones
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: with the strongest unions are the ones that kept kids
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: out of school the longest. They're the ones where the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: kids needed to be in school the most, absolutely, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they were They're the ones, you know, you cited the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: learning loss averages. But the reality is the kids at
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the bottom end of the spectrum were hit far worse
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: than those numbers even relate. And we're again, we're only
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: beginning to see the real results of this. And it's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: unconscionable to me that any any district, or any teachers
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: union would be advocating for taking more time off and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: distance learning when there is no reason to be doing it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Kids need to be in their classrooms, they need to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: be in with their teachers, they need to have that
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: hands on learning time. And the ones who have been
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: hurt most are the ones who are going to pay
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the price the longest. Former Secretary of Education Education Secretary
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Betsy Devas saying this, and this is becoming also a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: new trend around the country right that they say, all right,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: screw it, we just won't teach in school on Fridays.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: We'll take it. We'll take a three day weekend every weekend.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You think any of these teachers really care that are
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: advocating for these union policies, You think any of these
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: teachers give a crap about your kid's future. I think
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it's pretty clear they don't care about your kid's future.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: They don't care about your kid's future, They care about
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: getting paid, and they care about making sure that you,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: as a parent or silence, that you were shut down,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: that you were labeled a domestic terrorists. If you ever
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: ask him any questions or ask him any tough questions,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: you are a domestic terrorists. That's what you are, and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that's what they're going to continue to do. School choice
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: should definitely be a midterm election issue, and as the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: President has gone back out and started to do more
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and more of his big events, his Save America events,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he has been talking about this, slamming Democrats for their
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: radical school agenda and calling for the return of not
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: only parent rights but also parental choice. And other conservatives
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: should take note of this and realize this this is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a winning issue because parents don't like being held hostage,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they don't like being referred to as domestic terrorists, and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: they don't like getting ready for the first day of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: school and then having lies be told them, like oh,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: we can't send your kids back to school because of
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: air conditioning, when it's not even an issue. Irreversible harm
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that Democrat politicians did to our young people is unforgivable,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and American voters will punish them at the ballot box
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: this November. Despite all your hearing and seeing of China
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and Russia and Iran and others, our biggest danger is
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: not from outside coming in. Our biggest single danger is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: from the sick and radical politicians that are knowingly or
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: unknowingly wanting to destroy our country. Our biggest danger is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: from within. I believe that as friends. Then I was
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: proud to sign the world's first band on critical race theory.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration resended that order. But when we retake Congress,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Republicans will ban the critical race theory in our schools,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: bannit in our military, banit in every part of federal,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: state and local governments, just like I did. It was
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: fully banned before. In addition, a Republican Congress must stand
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: up for parental rights and parental choice. I think that's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: a good idea. No teachers should ever be allowed to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: teach far left gender theories to our children without parental consent.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It's truly child abuse, playing and simple. By replacing reading
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in math with pronouns and gender studies, our government run
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: education system has four fitted the trust of American parents,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and they they really really have Every mom and dad
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: in America must be given the right to opt out
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of the indoctrination and send their child to the public, private, charter,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: or religious school of their choice. After door last week,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the Biden administrations send Congress they budget crammed with billions
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and billions of dollars of transgenderism and so called equity
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: provisions that are nothing more than government sponsored racism. The
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Republican Congress will end the woke war on women and children.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: We will stop illegal government discrimination. We will restore the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: sacred American principle of equality under the law, and we
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: will while we're at it, demand justice for the January
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: six prisoners and full protection of their civil rights. Life
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: was received by Antifa and black Lives about her who
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: murdered people throughout our country. This is how you win.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: It's how you win parents over. You explain to parents
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: how important this fight actually is. You explain to parents
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: how important it is that you don't back down when
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: things like this happen. You explain to parents that this
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: is something that we are not willing to negotiate on.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You explain to parents, this is your right to give
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: your kids a good education. This to me, is all
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: about giving your kids a quality education. That's what this is.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Giving your kids a quality education. That's your right, especially
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: when you're the one paying for it, right. This is
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: your right as a parent, This is your rights as
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: a family to when you're paying taxes to say I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: going to give my kids the best education that i
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: can possibly give them. Why should you be held hostage
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: by these people that, by the way, do not care
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: about your children. They don't care, folks, they never have.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They'll do anything they can right now to screw you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: They'll do anything they can right now to make sure
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that you're unhappy. They will do everything that they can
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to make sure that your children are owned like property
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: where they can indoctrinate your children. Right, this is what
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: they want to do. They want to indoctrinate your children.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: That's all this is is indoctrination. They don't want you
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to tell them what they what you can and cannot
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: do this. This is why they refer to you as
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: domestic terrorists. Remember when in the in the debate, remember
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the debate where all of this kind of came to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a head. In Virginia. It's a it's a it's a district.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Virginia is more of a kind of moderate to liberal state.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: It's hard for Republicans to win. There. You had the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry mccaulliffe, who had all
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the money of all the big donors behind him. He
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: was the guy right the shoe in, and the question
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: was asked, right, should protections for transgender students be statewide
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: or determined locally? And then that went into parents involvement
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: in school and this is when they were trying to
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: push all the transgender bathrooms on everybody. I want you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to remind you this is and this is the head
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party, former head. So this is I
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: think it's fair to say the mindset of the Democratic
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Party on you as parents. Virtual books, Glenn, not to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: be knowledge about it, also take them off the shelves.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm not going to let parents come into schools
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and actually take books out and make their own decisions.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, stop the bill that I don't think parents
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: should be telling schools what they should teach good. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: don't think parents should be telling kids what to teach,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: telling schools to teach kids. Listen again, stop the bill
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that I don't think parents should be telling schools what
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: they should teach. Good what they should teach kids, right,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: They need to shut up. They need to shut up
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: and sit down. They need to be silent. Biden's Secretary
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: of Education Miguel Cardona recently said he's quote concerned, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: this is as it came out that they were labeling
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: parents domestic terrorists, about parents quote holding schools accountable for
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: what they're doing with your kids. Concerned because you can't
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: have an opinion. And we are concerned with some of
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the policies that are less curriculum, more about division, more
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: about bringing politics into the schools. They said at the onset,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: our schools should not be the place for cultural wars.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Our parents want our children to recover from what was
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: missed during the pandemic for the misconstruction. They want the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: mental health needs of their students cared for. I love
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: how now they're admitting that everything that they were doing
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: during the COVID lockdowns hurt the kids. You know, it's like,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about this, we don't want
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: parents involved. We're trying to get your kid caught up. Okay,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: so shut up. The by education secretary also would not
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: say when he was testifying recently, he won't say if
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: schools should tell parents about their child changing their gender.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that sugistrates should keep a child's involvement
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and gender transition a secret from their parents? So I
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: would love to answer questions on the budget, which is
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: why I'm here, and I think what I'm saying, these
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: are policies that your administration and stands me, and you're
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: asking me to fund your budget, and these are policies
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: that you stand for. It's completely irrelevant to why you're
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: here today. Simple question. Yeah, answer the question. Do you
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: think the schools should keep it a secret from their
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: parents if their children are involved in gender or Transitionarents? Listen,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: parents and schools must work together to support students, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I do strongly support and if you look through the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: work that we've supported in our policies and our practices,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: we want parents schools ever keep that a secret from parents?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Excuse me? Should schools ever keep it a secret from
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: parents if their children are involved in gender transition? Schools
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: should always be more secret from parents. Schools should be
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: partnering with parents in communication, and there are times where
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: schools are working and supporting students on issues that are
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: very sensitive. But I do believe that parents should be
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: connected with schools and in many cases working together. What's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: going to help the student. I have spoken to students
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: who've shared whatever situation is at the home that they
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: felt safe at the school, and we have to be
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: careful not to try to turn this into something that
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: it's not. Our schools are safe places for our students,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and our teachers are off in the front liners when
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: it comes to supporting students when they have issues in
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: their lives. So to be clear, your kids aren't safe
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: in your homes, but they're safe in our schools. Your
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: kids may not want to tell you that they're transitioning,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: but will help them transition, and we will keep it
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a secret from you. This is why we have to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: advocate for school choice and the only way to get
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: rid of these radicals is to defund them and take
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: your kids out of their schools and put them in
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: schools where they're actually getting a quality education. This needs
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: to be a core issue in the midterm elections and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: parents need to wake up. Parents need to stand up.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Parents need to realize what's happening to your kids and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: don't look the other way all right. Lastly, please make
