“Isn’t it amazing that Terry McAuliffe ends his entire campaign with the head of the teachers unions [sic],” Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton says. “Randi Weingarten is a joke. Randi Weingarten does not even have children of her own. What the hell does she know about raising and teaching kids?”
Cotton, who has never taught in a classroom or studied education practices, dismisses the experience of Weingarten, an out lesbian who was a public high school teacher in Brooklyn, New York before getting her law degree and raising through the ranks to become the head of the American Federation of Teachers.
