THIS IS NOT ON TEACHERS.

[MyMission]

12. Teachers are like the wall of moms

But more so because so many have been ordered to the front lines of a pandemic.

They need to stand up, for their lives and the lives of their own families, and the lives of their students, co-workers and their families.

I feel for them. And I think it is on them, although it shouldn't be. They are not in the military, expected to follow orders and directives, putting themselves in danger or harms way. It should not have to be on teachers to safeguard themselves from a pandemic.

It is on them, unfortunately, to stand up and say no, we can't open safely and therefore won't open. I think the teachers union voted to allow teachers to strike.

And of course the lack of leadership in the white house, having made a mess of too much already, has turned the school ground to a battle ground.
