Controversy Surrounding Randi Weingarten's School Policies

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings criticized American Federation of Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten for her involvement in pandemic-era school closures, accusing her of having "no remorse" for the damage done to children's education. Weingarten defended her actions during a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill, insisting that she had consistently pushed for school reopenings. Jennings pointed out that the US had lagged behind European counterparts on return-to-school initiatives, and Weingarten responded that the schools in Europe that opened sooner had the necessary safety precautions in place.
