If it’s not about teachers and vaccines don’t. Comment stalkers, Q bs and whatever your cult does has no place here.

I agree with your concept -get the kids back in class full time with a week break at the end of September. Two weeks at Christmas, a week at spring. The kids have a lot to make up for. The rate they are going they will be unable to compete as adults with a failing education system. If teachers do not want to go back into the classroom they should find other jobs and leave the education of our children to those who want to and are capable of teaching.

I see that 500 field workers in Santa Maria just had the vaccine given to them. How do they get to cut in line? They are not front line workers. The virus dies quickly in sunlight and they work in sunlight all day. They don’t have others come in contact with them in their jobs either.

Maybe they lived in cramped housing with multiple generations under one roof. That would make them a high priority group.

Apparently SB county considers fresh strawberries an essential need, but not their Police Officers. Idiots.

Are we sure the teacher’s union thugs will approve of this? What will the union demand next before reluctantly returning to classes that we the taxpayers are funding them to do? Do they really care about the kids? Over the course of this China virus, and their selfish actions, it appears they don’t.

China virus is a racist term. And has caused alot of Hate Crimes in America. To say teachers who make peanuts, dont care about kids, shows your colors, and your racist remarks. Nice, always waiting for you to comment and say judgemental, sinful things.

Wake up Kevin. So much signaling and not being able to roll w a little tongue and cheek shows YOUR true colors. The virus came from China. No one had an issue identifying the South African variant as such so your point and self righteousness is steeped and stale. China virus is no more racist to Chinese then the term South African variant is to South Africans. Get your head out your woke hole dude. I work in a business that doesn’t make a mint but I love it. I could make more if I wanted to ‘work’ for a paycheck’, but I’m lucky to make a living at my passion. How much do you suggest we pay public teachers? Teachers unions are holding the public that it serves hostage and at the expense of the young minds they are to serve. It’s sickening, as is your ill informed diatribe.

German measles, Spanish flu, Russian flu, Asian flu, Japanese small pox, Hong Kong flu. The various diseases are named for whence they originated. Get over your taking offense..

No I won’t, a racist pedophile post president coined the term as a racist gesture to be a jerk in retaliation to China, who has good people but a shitty Gov just like us and who suffers? People. Do you read th news about Asian American assaults rising due to this. Do you realize the #1 threat to americans is racist hate crimes and gun violence associated with white Supremacy involving mass shootings said Trumps administration?

Pick a different word that does not offend such as COVID-19. Why offend others? Also, when did teacher union officials become ‘thugs’? These word choices say much about the poster. Their comments get lost in the vitriol.

Why use terms that put down others? We have gone beyond this.

Coming to a country near you, very near.

Most teachers have wanted to go back for months now. Like everything else in the current lawsuit happy, fake/twisted news world we choose to exist in, the vocal minority uses any means possible to diminish quality of life for the masses.

Choose words that don’t stoke criminal activity. Article today on rising Asian hate crimes: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/02/27/asian-hate-crimes-attacks-fueled-covid-19-racism-threaten-asians/4566376001/

Also, when did teacher union officials become ‘thugs’? And teachers don’t care about kids?

Common, if you don’t mind, what websites and media sources do you frequent?
