Rebecca Friedrichs To Oakland Teacher Union: ‘Shame On You’
ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Rebecca Friedrichs releases the following statement condemning the ongoing teacher strike in Oakland:
“The great teachers of America have had enough. We’re tired of so-called teacher unions and their clown-show manipulation of our profession. We’re against the chaotic strikes, school shutdowns, educational quackery, communism, and the sexual, emotional and educational abuse of America’s kids.
“We call fraud on all union behavior and specifically this week on the Oakland Education Association and their unscrupulous strike. According to EdSource, Oakland Unified’s 2022 Smarter Balanced Test Results reveal only 35% of its students meet or exceed standards in English and only 26% of its students meet or exceed standards in math. This is just more proof that labor unions have no business coming anywhere near our schools.
“We call charlatan on your bogus claims that you represent great educators. You. Do. Not!
“We call double-dealing on your use of students and teachers as pawns in your ploy to uproot our free republic. We call deception on your mass marketing campaigns that promote the voices of immoral union activists while silencing the voices of great teachers.
“We say, ‘Shame on you,’ for being the reason America’s schools are failing and then lying to the American people and drumming up your activists to embezzle more money from taxpayers while robbing millions of children of an excellent education.
“We call for the complete removal of unions and their allies from our profession and our schools. It’s the only way to save our republic.”
