The Fight to Open Schools

The Fight to Open Schools

A number of articles have appeared criticizing teacher unions for objecting to opening schools for either face-to-face or hybrid learning.  The criticism comes from various reporters such as George Will, the mayors of Chicago and New York City, the governors of Virginia and North Carolina.  Union critics say they are “concerned about the children”, parents and educators, however they are the same people who have cut school funding, underfunded schools, underpaid educators, failed to upgrade air filtration systems in schools, or provided adequate air conditioning and heating systems.  Critics are now scrambling to provide masks, Chromebooks, internet service to minority, poor, children of color, rural schools or to Native Americans.

Where have they been?Where were they before the Covid-19 virus?

What hypocrites!
