Earlier today Corey DeAngelis, a far-right advocate of school privatization (complete privatization) was attacking unions for being anti-science. Why, because as the CDC met with stakeholders about how to open schools, unions suggested two changes the CDC accepted.

The two suggestions: One - To revisit the guidance if there was a deadly strain. Two - To suggest for high-risk teachers, you know the ones who are fighting cancer, to be able to have an accommodation. @LOLGOP really captures it well with this tweethttps://twitter.com/LOLGOP/status/1388830410105360385 …

AFT made 2 suggestions: 1. CDC should revisit plans if a deadlier COVID strain hit. 2. Educators more likely to die from COVID (cancer, etc) could have some ability to work. Right wingers are furious -- because if they can't kill public ed, they're happy to let teachers die.

DeAngelis is a fringe figure in the actual education debate but for the conservative movement that is anti-anti-racist and conspiratorial, some mainstream figures have amplified CD. Here's a thread on his ties to the far right.https://twitter.com/robocallerzzzzt/status/1348787290160705537 …

Hey @DemSocialists, fellow socialist here. Let me introduce you to Corey Deangelis at @ReasonFdn. He also a crypto-fascist cultivating a following (and follows) of far right, nationalists and QAnon folks. He disagrees with your demands for safe schools https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey/status/1348700363373891593 …

Last year, during the height of the pandemic DeAngelis went on a conspiracy youtube/podcast show run by an anti-vaccine advocate who had already started pushing out COVID disinformation in May of 2020.

Anti-Vaccine advocacy, especially for kids has been the main part of his online persona. Here are some podcasts. He's even had the kooky people behind Plandemic on his show.pic.twitter.com/fwBofClLRC

When I posted a video from the show Corey DeAngelis went on where the anti-vax doctor suggested that school choice is like vaccine choice, Corey didn't dispute it but spent the day driving his twitter followers to ratio me https://twitter.com/kombiz/status/1389277075413118983/video/1 …

Anti-Vaccine and school choice have been two things that have gone together for at least a decade. You can see it regularly in the news - https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2019/10/30/how-state-funded-charter-schools-are-avoiding-vaccine-requirements-1222469 … https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/02/us/miami-centner-academy-coronavirus-vaccine.html … https://abc7chicago.com/centner-academy-vaccine-miami-school-private/10553816/ …

But generally, it hasn't been something that school choice advocates have publicly courted. Until DeAngelis took his school privatization tour on a well-known anti-vax show. He had a year to set the record straight. Hell he could have done it all day today.

In conclusion, this is the face of the attempt to divert attention to the failure of Trump's response on the pandemic from conservative governance to teachers unions. The dude who went on a show dismissing vaccines and COVID last year.
