Teachers’ union prez takes break from promoting school closures to drop kid off at in-person private preschool

Rules for thee but not for me.

Matt Meyer, president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, has fought for what he called the “gold standard” for the teachers he represents — saying Berkeley schools should only reopen to in-person learning when educators are vaccinated, among other criteria.

But some parents caught Meyer dropping off his kid at a private in-person preschool.

“I have my two-year-old in preschool. Unfortunately, there are not public schools for kids her age. We are excited that we will be reopening soon with a plan that our members and the district supports,” Meyer said in a text message to KQED Sunday morning.
