I'll have to go find that written up somewhere because I couldn't stand to listen to MTG's voice or petulant tone.

I now recognize Ms Green from Georgia
for five minutes of questions
thank you Mr chairman Miss Weingarten
are you a medical doctor I am not
are you a mother
I am a mother by marriage by marriage I
see
um and my wife is here with me so I'm
really glad that she's here right after
Sharon Miss Weingarten and you haven't
taught school since the 90s so you're
not a teacher anymore I am actually
representative I'm actually on leave
from my teaching position and this fall
I will be teaching as a guest teacher at
Cornell my alma mater it was when was
the last year you taught in 1997 is that
correct the last time I taught
um a full class was June 1997. okay
that's been quite a long time
approximately 26 years ago do you
believe in the First Amendment Miss
Weingarten
um I believe in the Constitution
including the first amendment of course
oh great well I'd like to remind you of
one of your tweets here where you agreed
that my suspension on Twitter uh in your
own words politicians shouldn't be
exempt from standards about spreading
misinformation green has repeatedly
shown Reckless disregard for those
standards this suspension is Justified
this is your Tweet uh just last year
January 2nd 2022 I was suspended for my
statements about covid-19 as a member of
Congress by the way
um and also I'd like to point out by by
the Emojis by your name here it looks
like you're more of a political activist
than anything clearly unfortunately you
think Ukraine comes before the United
States I'm not sure what the black Flex
is I mean is is that digital blackface
but congratulations on graduating from
school but I'd like to is about honoring
Blackness Wine Garden I reclaim my time
I didn't ask you a question what I'd
like to talk about is your
recommendations to the CDC as not a
medical doctor not a biological mother
and and really not a teacher either so
what you did is you advise the CDC Mr Mr
chairman that is that I mean that's a
excuse me this is my time uh you advised
the CDC to have schools uh provide
remote work uh options for staff that
have documented high risk conditions who
are increased risk for for severe
illness from covid-19 to limit the risk
of workplace exposure telework virtual
teaching opportunities modified job
responsibilities environmental
modifications scheduling flexibility
temporary assignments to different job
responsibilities none of none of your
advice was had to do with to stop the
spread of covid-19 it was all about
teachers staying home and there was big
results of that let me tell you I am a
mother and all three of my children were
directly affected by the school closures
by your recommendations which is
something that you really can't
understand I'd like to point out let's
talk about the the real effects of this
obviously we know the test results oh
and by the way the you celebrating what
I had said on on Twitter I had said the
children should be in school I had said
the truth that children were not dying
at high rates of covid-19 like older
people were I had also advocated for our
children not for teachers getting to
stay home and kids being forced into
virtual schooling
I advocated for the safety of our
children and for their education but you
as a political activist for the
president of the teachers union we're
not advocating for anything good for our
kids and our kids have suffered greatly
as a matter of fact suicides increased
their rates of learning went down
and you know what else happened to him
anxiety depression all kinds of problems
happen to kids and then ironically
here's something that was shocking to me
you and I'll bring this up to you
you know what else happened while kids
were forced to stay home and you approve
of this the diagnosis of youths with
gender dysphoria surged this is
literally 2020 but yet this is 2021.
and this is a problem this is a major
problem and the direct effect of school
closures can be seen here
these are diagnosis diagnosis of gender
dysphoria and you can see it sharply
increased after 20 20 and 21 it went up
the rates went up so kids were forced to
stay home into so-called virtual
learning where they were spending a lot
of time on social media and all of a
sudden we see a direct result of this
and this is a this is a major problem
but the other problem is is you had no
business advising the CDC with the
medical guidelines were for school
closures because now we have a nation of
school children who have suffered
because of it the problem is is people
like you need to admit that you're just
a political activist not a teacher not a
mother and not a medical doctor
generally
