Democrats = hypocrisy CA Teachers’ Union President Seen Dropping Daughter Off at In-person Preschool After Leading School Closures By Jack Phillips March 1, 2021 Updated: March 1, 2021 The head of a local California teachers union president has come under fire in recent days after a video showed him taking his 2-year-old daughter off at a private school for in-person instruction—as public schools remain closed in many cities in the state. “Matt Meyer Berkeley Federation of Teachers President blocks opening public schools in-person, yet has had his own child in in-person school since June 2020. Stop the hypocrisy. Our children are suffering. Open schools full-time Now,” the group wrote on YouTube. Meyer, who is the head of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers union, appeared to confirm the incident to Fox News and other news outlets. Meyer told Fox News that the video of his child, which was blurred out, was “very inappropriate” and an intrusion of her privacy. There are currently “no public options for kids her age,” he said. The Epoch Times reached out to the union for comment. “There are major differences in running a small preschool and a 10,000 student public school district in terms of size, facilities, public health guidance and services that legally have to be provided,” Meyer added. “We all want a safe return to school. The Berkeley Federation of Teachers is excited that Berkeley Unified will be reopening soon with a plan, supported by our members and the district, to get our students back in classrooms starting later this month.” The Berkeley Unified School District reached an agreement with the Berkeley Federation of Teachers in February to reopen public schools in March and April, according to a statement. It depends on whether staff members get COVID-19 vaccinations. Jonathan Zachreson, with a Guerilla Momz-affiliated group called Reopen California Schools, told KNTV in the Bay Area that the video suggests parents are becoming increasingly frustrated with schools being locked down amid the CCP virus pandemic. “It’s really a message of hypocrisy where we see this union representative saying it’s not safe to go back, yet he feels safe enough to take his daughter to an in-person institution,” he said. In recent days, there have been protests by parents in students in other parts of California calling for public schools to re-open. Parents have said that in-person learning is necessary for a child’s development, saying that virtual learning that has been pushed since the start of the pandemic is insufficient. Mara Kolesas, a former PTA Berkeley Council president, told KQED that the video of Meyer’s daughter went too far. “For me, you don’t need to attack people personally, you need to address it politically. When you start getting personal, you mix up dimensions, and you don’t get to discuss the real thing,” Kolesas stated. “Here, the real thing is [Meyer] put fear before science, and the right of teachers before the right of kids. That’s the issue.”
