Another day ending in “y,” another day when Randi Weingarten proves that she’s an idiot who happens to be running one of the largest teachers’ unions in the country.

In case you missed it yesterday, and you might have because there were no riots or bloody handprints left at the White House gates (so the media only gave it a passing mention), there was a massive rally for Israel on the National Mall. The police estimated that the number must have been around 290,000 people in attendance, which made for a truly beautiful sight.

And members of both parties showed up to support the rally.

Before the rally, there was a large prayer gathering in front of the White House. Enter Randi Weingarten, who opened her mouth and removed all doubt about her intelligence level. Just check out her tweet, and the Community Note that got attatched to it.

Now, in theory, Randi Weingarten should know that Orthodox men and women pray separately. After all, Randi has reminded people in the past that she IS Jewish, and not only that, she is married to a rabbi. But, it must be acknowledged that Randi’s marriage ain’t exactly Orthodox. *cough*

New York native Randi Weingarten is not just Jewish; she is also married to Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum of New York's "leading synagogue for LGBT Jews."

I'm a Roman Catholic from Indiana, and even I know the answer to the "where are the women" question. What's Randi's excuse? https://t.co/5kRGA7v2kc

There are two interpretations to Randi Weingarten’s comments. The first interpretation is that she is really THAT ignorant and dumb. Truthfully, that isn’t a reach. This is the same person, after all, who just got smacked around for tweeting about why homeschooling has been on the rise, and then tried to defend herself by complaining that the “reply-guys” were going after her – but she still had all the answers!

Here’s a clue for poor Randi Weingarten – homeschooling is on the rise because you and the teachers’ unions proved that it was never about educating kids, it was all about how much power and money the union could accrue in the worst of circumstances. Parents don’t trust you. And as for your cute little list here – I don’t see you demanding that Chicago get kids back in school and off the streets in regards to gun violence. I don’t see you demanding that school districts slap down the anti-Semitism that is on the rise, which is not just bullying, but a blatant violation of Title VI. And special needs students? Randi, I have three of those students, and there’s not a single thing I’ve heard you say that would improve their educational outcomes. You don’t have a plan for special education, you just want more money to throw around. So no, your list doesn’t address the betrayal that parents feel after the school shutdowns, and the pushing of social justice agendas and transgender ideology by teachers and school districts.

The second interpretation of Randi’s comment is that she’s just malicious. After all, she allegedly has a working knowledge of Judaism, and she could just be sniping at the Orthodox community because she wants to snark on the practice of having separate prayer sections for men and women. This is when we recall just HOW bitter and nasty Randi Weingarten has proven herself to be when it came to dealing with parents, calling them “segregationists” if they want school choice, and laying the seeds of “war” and “hatred” when parents pushed for their rights. It’s not a stretch that the same woman who wanted to mandate vaccines for teachers has issues with people who don’t pray in the way that she does – if she prays at all. After all, Randi’s only god is government, and the union is her church, and she is the head who issues edicts from on high.

Of course, the answer can always be “both.” Randi Weingarten could certainly be an ignorant twit on a power trip, someone who has been given a position of authority beyond her own intelligence. You make the call. After all, she’s been busy giving us lots of evidence over the last few years.
