A bill that would shield public and private school systems from civil lawsuits if students or teachers contract the coronavirus won Louisiana House approval Tuesday.

The vote was 82-17, sending the measure to the state Senate with one week left in the special session.

The protections in House Bill 59 would also apply to colleges and universities.

Critics said the proposal is tilted toward school systems over children.

"My only concern is the people who seem to be left out of your legislation is the students," said Rep. Gary Carter, D-New Orleans. "This is a reduction in student rights."

The proposal was sought by the Louisiana School Boards Association, which represents board members statewide.

Forget all the bullshite with teachers from other states and their unions, how do you feel about this? Are you ok with the proposal knowing schools are exempt along with places like WalMart, Home Depot, Grocery Stories, etc....



In Louisiana from three of the largest school systems EBR, Ascension, and Livingston almost 70% of teachers said they were ready to return to work. I know there a few vocal minorities and we all have those people on Facebook who bitch and moan but still.
