Rep. Tim Ryan questioned for decision to campaign with Randi Weingarten after school closings

Conservatives criticized Rep. Tim Ryan and ATF president Randi Weingarten after posing for a photo together and appearing at an Ohio Democrats event.

UNITED STATES - AUGUST 20: U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, speaks at the UAW Local 12 union rally in Toledo, Ohio on Saturday, August 20, 2022.

Weingarten said it was"great to see" Ryan in Ohio on Saturday. Critics pointed to Weingarten's position as president of the second-largest teachers union in the U.S. and efforts by teachers unions across the country to keep schools closed during the pandemic. "Earlier this year—two years into COVID—these people pushed for schools to go remote in Ohio. This is who Tim Ryan answers to. Ohio’s children deserve better," he wrote on Twitter.

Some conservatives responded to Weingarten's tweet with headlines describing teachers unions"pushing" for remote learning during the pandemic. to the editor in the Wall Street Journal recently after The National Assessment of Educational Progress published a report detailing the decline in test scores among younger students. The Wall Street Journal editorial board published a piece headlined"Randi Weingarten Flunks the Pandemic" shortly after the report was released.

"No teacher I know enjoyed remote and hybrid learning—which, pre-pandemic, was championed by Betsy DeVos. Not one teacher relished teaching art class via Zoom to 40 pupils, 20 of them in a classroom and 20 at home," Weingarten wrote, rebuking the WSJ. The American Federation for Children's Corey DeAngelis responded to Weingarten's tweet with a screenshot of a New York Post editorial which was headlined"Randi Weingarten's attempts to rewrite school-closings history won't fly."
