TEACHERS in the US have been branded “lazy” and accused of not caring about children in a series of online videos by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The attacks came after the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) sent a letter to US bank Wells Fargo asking it to put children’s safety first and end its relationship with the gun lobbyists.

NRA TV host Grant Stinchfield accused the union of pushing an agenda where “where lazy progressives can sit all day in a classroom while students languish. The AFT prefers a boot on throat of these low-income kids, to keep them down, to be dependent on government."
