In reply to the discussion: The Director of the CDC says schools can safely reopen even if teachers are not vaccinated for Covid [View all]UncleTomsEvilBrother
(954 posts)I'm in the Ruby Red part of Georgia, and schools here have been open since August. There are no teacher unions here (Right to Work laws. Smh), and the faculty and staff are sworn to secrecy in order to keep the positive cases out of the media. I shake my head when there is a national argument about opening schools going on when I see tons of school busses pass by my house in the mornings.
Because the teachers are afraid for their jobs here and don't want to risk seeming anti-republican/anti-Trump by going against the status quo, they simply step over the bodies of their dead colleagues and report to work. Students come to school and wonder why their teachers are missing for weeks and weeks, and they are never told the truth as to why their teachers are absent. Just yesterday, Georgia ran out of vaccines for the Phase I population, which does not include teachers. The teachers have no idea when they are supposed to be vaccinated, and nobody has answers.
It's creepy here.
