Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers launched attacks against those who seek educational freedom for their children, labeling them the “polite cousins of segregation.” The American Federation for Children responded to these baseless attacks with statements from founding board member Kevin P. Chavous and Traci Woodard, parent of a student who used the Educational Choice Scholarship Program in Ohio.

“How dare Randi Weingarten accuse someone like me of being aligned with segregationists, when all I’ve wanted to do was give my son the chance to have an opportunity with his education.” – Traci Woodard

Have great weekend! – Paul
