Throwback Thursday: So Madame Union President, It Really WASN’T About the Students

On this Throwback Thursday, we look back to mid-March when Greta Callahan, union president of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers showed her true colors by admitting their strike had nothing to do with their students.

“Our fight is against patriarchy, our fight is against capitalism, our fight is for the soul of our city!”

From Alpha News: on March 12, 2022:

The president of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers said the ongoing strike is about fighting “patriarchy” and “capitalism.”

“Our fight is against patriarchy, our fight is against capitalism, our fight is for the soul of our city,” said President Greta Callahan during a Wednesday rally at the Capitol.

The union wants a share of the state’s projected $9.25 billion surplus…

The district’s roughly 30,000 students will be locked out of classrooms for “the duration of the strike.” They have so far missed four days of school. Schools will likely have to start scheduling make-up days, especially if the strike lasts longer than five days.
