Research assistant for California Teachers Association was paid to 'dig for dirt' on parents' groups who opposed COVID shutdowns across the state, newly released emails show

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

A researcher with the California Teachers Association in April 2021 emailed members of a school parents' group to ask for advice

The researcher, Ann Swinburn, a veteran union operative, said she was investigating 'the various "reopen' groups around the state'

At the time, California schools were closed and lessons were remote: many parents were unhappy at the arrangement and agitating for change

Swinburn's tweets from a now-deleted Twitter account show her suspicion that the parents calling for schools to reopen were being used by right-wing actors

She tweeted that parents 'are used toward a larger goal to disrupt, destabilize, and "burn down" public schools (also see reopen parents)'

The emails were published online by activist group Reopen California Schools.

Allison Stratton, one of the founders of the Parents Association in San Diego, filed a request for the emails - and told Fox News she believed the emails showed that CTA was spying on parents.

'We already suspected (it) because we see the same people show up at every school board meeting saying the same things, echoing what the union is saying,' Stratton said. 'So, it's not a surprise.

'They were working as hard as they could against parents who wanted school reopened.'

Blackmail is a felony.
The California Teachers Association just opened itself up to a massive classaction lawsuit.

#3 We hear endlessly that "schools are underfunded and teachers are underpaid."

Get back to me when they have no funds for this sort of thing.
