The president and vice president of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers defended a contract provision that states white teachers would be laid off first in a Friday appearance on ABC.
“This contract language was something that we are, first of all, extremely proud of for achieving but it also doesn’t go far enough,” Greta Callahan, president of the teachers’ union, told “GMA3” host Amy Robach. “We need to support and retain our educators, especially those who are underrepresented, and this language does one tiny, minuscule step towards that but doesn’t solve the real crisis we’re in right now.”
The contract language was agreed to after a three-week strike in March, according to CNN. Provisions in the contract require Minneapolis Public Schools to disregard seniority when prioritizing layoffs and instead lay off white teachers first.
“This is the language that we put in and that we went out and marched for,” Marcia Howard, the teachers’ union vice president, said. “We voted on this, the district and the union agreed upon this and now it’s coming out because some Minnesotan website decided to put it out there and the MAGA media picked it up and they were waiting for mainstream media to run with this story. It’s a non-story. It was language about the event of a layoff and we are nowhere near having layoffs this year. We’re down like 250 teachers. We’re down. There are no layoffs. So I ask y’all why? Why is this a story?”
Great all the kids will be speaking ghetto and twerking. America’s future is not looking good.
Lets Lay off BLACK teachers FIRST & see how that goes !!!!!
Most racist thing I have seen in quite a while!
It was bad enough when it was last in first out….
It should be the best stay and the rest walk….
This is a story because they built racism into the contract!
WHITES get the shaft all the time now & Nothing Done about it , in THEIR OWN COUNTRY !!!!!
This is step #1 in CRT in the education system. The teacher’s unions is behind all this. The first thing they want to do is divide the students into different races, ethnicity and religion. Then they pit them against each other which causes main problems and this is where CRT and the teacher’s union work best, among chaos. You should see the union leaders salivate when an unsuspecting group of new teachers come in for their first indoctrination, oops, I meant to say orientation.
It is OKAY to put down WHITES but ALL others , hell No !!!! This needs to change
My face when a Democrat speaks 🤯😱
When are we going to get back to having the person with the best experience in the job?
Gee, they never thought of that novel idea.
