Mark's thoughts on School Closures.  The nation’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association, said its members will do “whatever it takes” to protect students during this pandemic. “Nobody wants to see students back in the classroom more than educators, but when it comes to their safety, we’re not ready to take any options off the table,” the group’s president, Lily Eskelsen García, said in a statement.
Really Lily? In many local school districts around the country there seems to be a bit more to it than just safety of teachers and students. Take the Los Angeles School District for example, I’d like Lily Eskelsen Garcia to please explain what shutting down charter schools, defunding police, government run Medicare for All, funding housing for the homeless, financial support for undocumented students and families, a California state wealth tax, a ban on evictions, and oh yes, of course, a federal bailout of the bankrupt LAUSD so they can meet their obligations to retired teachers and staff. These are just some of the conditions that the L.A. Teachers Union has demanded before they even consider reentering the classroom. Because it’s in the students best interest of course.
