Children throughout the mid-Atlantic enjoyed their first snow day of the year Monday, and most are set to head back for much-needed in-person schooling today. Unfortunately, students in many counties throughout the country will not be as lucky, as school administrators have caved to teacher union pressure, forcing a return to virtual learning, again.

Just over two weeks ago, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten was given a glowing profile in the New York Times, one that tried to recast her as a “fighter” for keeping schools open, not an enforcer for teacher union demands to shut down in-person learning. This Sunday, however, Weingarten was on Twitter justifying teacher demands to “temporarily” return to remote instruction while omicron surges.
