San Diego County Supervisor: Migrant Kids Are Getting In-Person Instruction, so Should our Students

Ian Hanchett 30 Mar 2021

During an interview with San Diego KUSI’s “Good Evening San Diego” on Monday, San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond (R) said that he’s glad that migrant children placed in San Diego are receiving in-person education, but children in San Diego County should have the same opportunity.

Desmond said, “[T]he Office of Education is sending teachers over for in-person classroom training. Our own kids here in San Diego County can’t get in-person training. But here are these migrants, who, actually, I’m glad they’re getting that educational opportunity, but so should our kids that have been waiting over a year to get back into school.”

Resident children of San Diego County are probably far less Covid-risky than rando recently arrived illegals. Not that the Feds, state, or CTA give a @#$% about facts.

Not that the Feds, state, or CTA give a @#$% about facts.

They are simply levelling the playing field.  American kids have been privileged to receive public education all these years.  And now it is time for them to step aside for kids from other nations get that same opportunity.

Migrant Children at San Diego Convention Center to Receive In-Person Teaching

‘Decision to provide in-person instruction to illegal migrants is outrageous and parents have every right to be angry’

By Evan Symon, March 30, 2021 5:59 pm

The San Diego County Board of Education announced Tuesday they would be sending California public school teachers to the temporary migrant center at the San Diego Convention Center, to teach the hundreds of migrant children who crossed into the country illegally.

Last week, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and other city officials announced that the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) would be used as a temporary migrant center for several months to help alleviate the growing number of Central American immigrants arriving at the US-Mexican border. During the weekend, around 700 girls between the ages of 13 to 17 had arrived. While basic necessities such as food, clothing, health care, and shelter would be provided by the federal government, education had been left out when the center was set up.

County education officials addressed that on Tuesday, with 13 teachers volunteering to give in-person classes in art, visual arts, and performing arts to help alleviate languor and English to assist in basic communication.

Dozens of Migrant Girls Test Positive for COVID at San Diego Facility

https://www.newsmax.com/us/migrants-girls-san-diego-covid/2021/03/30/id/1015695/

Dozens of unaccompanied migrant girls have tested positive for COVID-19 at a San Diego facility, it was reported.

A total of 37 out of 476 teenage girls tested positive for COVID-19 at the San Diego Convention Center as of late Monday afternoon, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. All were asymptomatic.

Bonnie Preston, an official at the Department of Health and Human Services, told the Union-Tribune that 27 of the infected children had tested positive before leaving Texas, where they had been held in Border Patrol station holding cells after crossing into the country from Mexico.

The girls who tested positive in Texas were then transported to San Diego on a special quarantined flight, and were the first to arrive at the convention center Saturday night. They then were taken to a special area, separated from the rest of the arriving children.

These 37 are the ones who actually were tested. How many more were not, at the time? How many more would have tested positive after testing was ceased?    

How many of those receiving in-person instruction are in or recently released from this convention center.

From another angle, this shows that the CTA and other teacher's unions supposed Covid fears are utter lies. Were the CTA really concerned for teachers' safety they'd be screaming about this risky in-person instruction!
