Randi Weingarten Wants You to Boycott Target

Weingarten, if she had a personal grievance against Target, well, not if, she does.

She does have a personal grievance against Target.

There are some reasonable things that she could do and say and call for that would be within the realm of reason, within the realm of logic.

I mean, Randy Weingarten isn't really logical, but what she could do is say that she could make a statement personally on how she feels about Target as a business and attack them.

I'm not saying she should, but that she could because she is a consumer in this world like the rest of us.

She could rightfully say something on social media and paint it as her own personal stance.

Hey, I, Randy Weingarten, am not going to shop at Target for X, Y, and Z reasons.

Here's why I don't think you should either, but hey, you do you, girl.

I can't tell you what to do with your money because you are your own consumer and you will spend your money as you see fit with the businesses that you like, with the things that align with what you need, with what you need as a teacher in the classroom.

What is unreasonable, though, is in fact the thing that she is doing instead, which is attacking Target for something that has zero to do with teachers' rights.

This issue actually has zero to do with education.

It has zero to do with the actions of a teacher's union, like collective bargaining or prioritizing their members' needs.

If you're looking at what your members need, it doesn't matter where they're shopping for school supplies.

And then she unequivocally demands that her members not only listen to what she has to say, but follow exactly in her footsteps.

Randy Weingarten thinks, like I said at the beginning, the utter audacity of this woman thinks that she not only has the ability to tell her two million members they can't shop at Target because of a personal grievance she has, but also she thinks that her opinion is so darn important that, wait, wait, wait, before I can shop for my school supplies, before I can buy markers and pens and pencils for my students, I have to hear what Randy Weingarten has to say.

That's out of touch.

That's prideful.

Randy Weingarten has, I mean, I find it ridiculous to think that she might have nothing better to do than, oh, tell her members where to shop at instead of shopping at Target.

Please, you have to have something better to do.

And here is what the union doesn't want you to know.

Target is actually not required to take a position on every social justice issue that comes through the woodwork.

Target is a private sector business.

Like any other company, it's going to make decisions based on what reflects the needs of people It's going to make decisions that affect their bottom line.

That's what a business does.

That's what a good business does.
