RIGHT SPEAK: NEA Head Becky Pringle Made $500K While Fighting for COVID School Closures; FNC’s Dr. Siegel: CDC Problems ‘Way Beyond’ What They’re Admitting — You Had Teachers’ Unions Keeping Schools Closed, and other C-Virus related stories

NEA head Becky Pringle made $500K while fighting for COVID school closures: taxes:

The head of the most prominent teachers’ union in the United States raked in more than $500,000 in pay as the group showered liberal causes with money and fought to keep schools closed during the pandemic, tax forms provided to Fox News Digital show.

Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association (NEA), the country’s largest teachers’ union, pocketed $534,243 in compensation from the NEA and its related organizations between September 2020 and August 2021, an increase of $25,000 from the previous calendar year, newest tax forms show.

“Becky Pringle lined her pockets with over half a million dollars and peddled politics at the expense of returning to in-person learning,” said Caitland Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, who provided the tax forms to Fox News Digital.

“Children are still feeling the catastrophic effects of prolonged school closures all because teacher union leaders wrote the guidance that kept our schools closed,” Sutherland added. “This is politics at its worst.”

The tax documents further reveal that the NEA gave millions to liberal groups in addition to cash to teachers’ associations. --->READ MORE HERE

FNC’s Dr. Siegel: CDC Problems ‘Way Beyond’ What They’re Admitting — You Had Teachers’ Unions Keeping Schools Closed:

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Fox News Medical Contributor and Clinical Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine Dr. Marc Siegel reacted to calls to reform the CDC by its Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, by stating that the agency’s problems “go way beyond anything that anybody’s admitted here.” And one major issue is the politicization of the coronavirus pandemic, such as “the fact that the teachers’ unions are involved with keeping schools shuttered, not only the CDC. There’s an elaborate network of politicking that’s involved here, not just science.”

Siegel stated, [relevant remarks begin around 3:15] “I don’t think she’s going anywhere. I think she’s an infectious disease specialist. She’s public health. I think they’re committed to her. I am surprised at the degree to which she’s come out and said there are shortcomings here, but I agree with you, that they go way beyond anything that anybody’s admitted here. And it doesn’t make a quick fix. And the one thing that is not being discussed, John, which you know well, is the degree to which this whole thing is politicized. I mean, if you say it stinks at the head, you’re talking about the fact that the teachers’ unions are involved with keeping schools shuttered, not only the CDC. There’s an elaborate network of politicking that’s involved here, not just science. But I think that she’s respected as a scientist. I don’t think she’s going anywhere. I admire her coming forward, I don’t think it goes far enough at all.” --->WATCH INTERVIEW HERE
