After fighting to keep many American public schools closed for almost two years, the president of the nation’s second-largest teachers union has traveled to Ukraine to “assess” the poor remote learning conditions for children there.
Randi Weingarten, who leads the 1.7 million member-strong American Federation of Teachers (AFT), announced the trip on Monday in the wake of a new Russian missile blitz targeting major cities across Ukraine, including the capital, Kyiv. Russian President Vladimir Putin described the attack as a retaliation for the sabotage of the bridge connecting Russia to Russian-controlled Crimea.
