Twice-failed Democrat presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton is taking an online bashing for promoting a book from the chief of a politicized teachers' union.
The online promotion from Clinton cited "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," by Randi Weingarten, the leftist, anti-Trump leader of American Federation of Teachers.
In fact, studies show student performance plunging across American even as taxpayers pay more and more and more for their public school districts. Homeschooling is surging and interest in parochial schools is growing.
Weingarten, who pushed for school closures during COVID-19 and fought moves to reopen them, long has been an authoritarian, insisting that teachers and school managers must have control of students, curriculum, school agendas and much more.
Reports reveal that Clinton endorsed the book, resulting in "sharp backlash" as only a week had passed since "the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk."
She "praised teachers union chief Randi Weingarten's book, 'Why Fascists Fear Teachers,' as a 'critical read for this moment,' saying authoritarians target education because 'it's a cornerstone of democracy.'"
Conservatives pointed out that Clinton and Weingarten were fueling the same rhetoric they say contributed to Kirk's death.
Another criticism said, "Randi Weingarten's new book 'why fascist hate teachers' was written to hide & cover up the 'communist style' brainwashing of students by leftists teachers and now Hillary Clinton is helping to push the cover up!"
Yet another," Reprehensible."
RNC Research said, "GROSS: Democrats Hillary Clinton and Randi Weingarten are still suggesting Republicans are 'fascists.' They really can't help themselves can they?
Another turned blunt; "PSYChO DEMS CLINTON, WEINGARTEN CONTINUE TO SPEW LIES, HATE AND VIOLENCE."
A report at Fox said Clinton was being bashed for "the smear campaign against political opponents that many believe contributed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk."
"It's been one week since Charlie Kirk was murdered by a lunatic who wrote about 'fascists' on shell casings," Republican communicator Matt Whitlock posted on X.
"Now, Randi Weingarten has a new book arguing everyone who disagrees with her views on public education – which have destroyed public education in America – is a fascist."
"They wrote an entire book on a word they don't even understand," restaurateur Andrew Gruel posted on X.
In the book, Weingarten states her belief in what fascism is and how it works to "undermine democracy, opportunity and public education as we know it."
"Fascists fear teachers because they teach young people how to think for themselves," she wrote.
The left for years has claimed conservatives are fascists. In fact, that group's agenda to censor speech, limit choices, dictate ideologies and beliefs, actually is much closer to the politics of fascism.
