It’s outrageous the way we’re treating our teachers as though their health is expendable and their fear illegitimate. This is the legacy of a misogynistic paradigm where the needs of women and children have been deemed secondary for centuries and longer.

Biden said schools could open IF done safely. Important difference to your message.

“If done safely” is good & “done safely” should be defined by what makes teachers feel safe. A vague promise with no specificity is not enough. The president was quite far away from Nora O’Donnell in that picture & for good reason; everyone working in America should be that safe.

How safely do you think Biden opening our southern border is? These people are being released into the U.S. with no screening of covid, no distancing & no masks by the thousands. Not to mention the fact that if they have a criminal record that's ok too. They have Carte Blanche.

I love how you said “what makes teachers feel safe” and not “what makes the kids feel safe” Quit pandering to these teachers like they are children and need to be coddled 24/7. this is why our educational system is light years behind other developed nations. U are part of problem
