US Teachers Union President Takes Strange Trip to Ukraine, Heads to Border to 'Assess the Situation'

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is in Ukraine, reporting back on the intensifying conflict between the Russian invading forces and the nation of Ukraine. The stated goal of the trip was to "donate school supplies" and "deliver assistance" to Ukranian teachers, and was made after being invited to do so by the Ukrainian teachers union.

Pure, unadulterated politics, without a shred of morally defensible behavior. But Weingarten is a political whore, an ardent socialist, and I hope she gets (literally) pissed on by some crazy drunk Ukrainian who is insufficiently impressed by this harridan's position in the socialist hierarchy in America.
