Fox News host Martha MacCallum doesn’t tolerate disrespect on her show.
The popular anchor had to put a liberal union boss in her place during a heated exchange.
And Fox News’ Martha MacCallum utterly steamrolled a union boss with three words that stopped her dead in her tracks.
Fox News host Martha MacCallum blasts teacher union boss for sexist “sweetheart” comment
During Tuesday’s The Story with Martha MacCallum, the Fox News host interviewed American Federation of Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten about a major parental rights case before the Supreme Court.
The case involves the Maryland public school system forcing students to participate in “instruction” that includes LGBTQ readings and other LGBTQ-themed “education” with no option for parents to opt their children out.
As MacCallum began winning the argument against the radical LGBTQ push by teachers in schools, Weingarten grew frustrated.
“Martha, Martha, Martha, sweetheart, sweetheart, listen to me,” the teachers union boss said condescendingly.
MacCallum immediately cut her off.
“Please, don’t call me sweetheart,” MacCallum interjected sharply, as she shook her head and looked down with visible anger.
Weingarten, who had pointed out earlier in the interview that she was gay, quickly realized her mistake after seeing how upset the Fox News anchor was.
“I’m sorry, my bad,” Weingarten apologized.
But the damage was done. MacCallum still looked visibly annoyed as she gathered herself to continue.
MacCallum destroys Weingarten on schools’ failure to teach basic skills
The two continued their heated debate about the parental rights case, with MacCallum ultimately landing a devastating final blow about the failure of schools to teach basic skills.
“I would say this, if you have a child in your classroom who’s gay, if you have a child in a classroom who doesn’t maybe speak the language very clearly, you have all kinds of struggles that have honestly existed since the beginning of time. I think you want to have a principle in a classroom that says ‘We always respect each other,'” MacCallum stated.
She then drew a clear line on what crosses into indoctrination.
“And then beyond that, those are behavior issues, and you have to deal with behavior issues, but you don’t want to indoctrinate children,” she added. “You don’t want a child to hear a book read to the whole classroom and go home and say, ‘Why am I being taught that I was born a girl but that was just a guess?’ I mean that is going to freak out some children.”
MacCallum hammered home the point about the real crisis in education today.
“They are going to be very confused. Four, five, and six-year-olds. Now, you said you don’t agree with this in the classroom [for that age]. But this is the problem. And then you got the same kid can’t read and is pushed all the way to eighth grade, and they still can’t read,” MacCallum explained.
Weingarten tries to push back with woke gibberish
In response to MacCallum’s common-sense assertions, Weingarten claimed that 90 percent of a teacher’s job isn’t about pushing LGBTQ agendas but about “how we engage with kids to actually be their whole selves.”
This ridiculous woke statement was quickly shut down by MacCallum, who wasn’t having any of it.
“I don’t care… I’m honestly less concerned with children being their full selves than I am with them being able to read and write and do math. And that is the biggest problem that we face in our schools today,” MacCallum fired back.
MacCallum continued her takedown, exposing the real problems in today’s education system.
“And if I talk to one more teacher who tells me that they are not allowed to hold a child back who cannot read, until he gets to the level… I’ll worry at home about whether or not you know my child’s whole self,” she declared. “But what I really need is for the school to teach them to read and write and do math and not get into all this other stuff.”
Weingarten tried to interject several times, weakly claiming “You need both” in schools, but the damage was done.
MacCallum had exposed the real agenda of teachers unions – pushing radical ideology while American students continue to fall behind in basic academic skills.
The exchange highlighted the growing divide between parents who want schools focused on academics and union bosses who seem more interested in social engineering than teaching children to read and write.
