If there was one governor above all others that was sympathetic to the idea of keeping schools closed, it was Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
If memory serves, she was among the last to reopen schools.
So, it is no surprise that teachers’ unions have spent $2.5 million on her campaign.
Let’s Keep Her
When I see spending by unions like this that have members that say they don’t make enough money, I cannot help but wonder how much better those members would be without paying those union dues.
These unions have set our children back decades by keeping schools closed as long as they did, and Whitmer is their pick, which should scare the crap out of parents.
To that point, Taylor Budowich, the head of the Trump-connected MAGA Inc. PAC, stated, “There’s no organization that has done more to destroy the future of children than the NEA, and no bigger rubber stamp for their anti-child agenda than Gretchen Whitmer.”
Whitmer’s opponent, Tudor Dixon, stated, “Gretchen Whitmer continues to take cues directly from her union bosses who shut schools down, kept our kids locked down at home longer than necessary, and created an education crisis in our state.
“She stood on the debate stage and blatantly lied that Michigan schools were only closed down for 3 months.
“Her running-mate Garlin Gilchrist even had the audacity to say we must first take care of the adults in our education system – total disregard for kids and parents.
“Gretchen is gaslighting the people of Michigan and is attempting to rewrite history to save face for her disastrous lockdown policies.
“I will put students over systems and will empower parents every step of the way.”
If Whitmer loses this election, it would be a true coup for the GOP.
Dixon utterly destroyed Whitmer in their one and only debate, so hopefully that will be enough to flip this race and send Whitmer packing.
