The head of the nation’s largest teachers’ union applauded New York State’s decision to allow adults to not wear masks while keeping public school students masked up, saying the governor is “doing it absolutely the right way.”
Appearing Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom,” American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten was asked about her opinion on the ongoing trend of states phasing out mask requirements for public schools. She replied that it confuses teachers, students, and parents when their governors call for an off-ramp for masks but the federal government still recommends universal masking in schools.
