It has nothing to do with this. It's about them being able to continue to half-arse their job remotely while still collecting their full paychecks. They don't give two fricks about the kids or what this is doing to them.

It's the government employee way.

This right here. The Chicago Teachers Union is one of the strongest teacher's unions in the country. They are as liberal as one can get, yet they give zero fricks about the fact that the pandemic and remote teaching is disproportionately affecting children of color. It's not about the kids, it's never been about the kids.

I just checked the CDC stats today...58 out of 347,131 deaths have been in children aged 5-14.
