1/Re-opening schools before we have the virus under control is immoral and insane. We’re exposing American families to danger for no other reason than to serve the sacred cow of an economy that doesn’t really work for them anyway. #SupportKidsAndTeachers

Oh right cuz an airborne virus is controllable. Let's just live in fear.

Here’s reasons why many people don’t care. Risk is low, CDC says kids must go back, protests have been happening constantly with no condemnation, 4 fully attended funerals for George Floyd and multiple for John Lewis. Again no condemnation. What point would be safe for you?

Our county schools opened today, even though the numbers suggested a hybrid model at best. It's been said by others in the community that they're wanting the 20 day count numbers so they get their funding. Disgusting! And I used to teach there.

Why are we continually obsessed with doing things the legal way, rather than doing the right thing? Nature doesn't just allow bacterial and viral infections to wait for an election to determine if the organism will continue to die or live. No. The.....
