2,700-Plus Schools Closed for Omicron Despite Low Risk

Breccan F. Thies 3 Jan 2022

Over 2,700 schools will be closed or condemned to remote learning this week as officials fear the low-risk omicron variant of the coronavirus.

School districts across the country are grappling with how to move forward with coronavirus protocols as it appears clear that new variants will continue to come and virtual learning and mask mandates are extremely detrimental to the education, social development, and mental health of children.

Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said that he believes “very firmly and very passionately” that “students belong in the classroom and that we can do it safely,” and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC News that increased vaccination rates and testing make it “safe enough to get those kids back to school, balanced against the deleterious effects of keeping them out.”

Our poor kids. Wearing masks, getting vaccines, fear of dying, fear of getting their siblings sick, or their grandparents sick; this has to be weighing on their mental health.  Enough of the craziness.

One the flip side.  I hope more and more parents home school their children.  The heck with the liberal school system.

All of this COVID insanity has nothing to do with COVID, and it never has. It is all about the destruction of America.

And in that sense, with the fanatical support of Democrats, the COVID plan has been extremely successful.

Mengele was a sadistic mentally ill monster. Fauci, while similar is more than that. Fauci has a communistic global political agenda to achieve, no matter how many people die in his wake.

A message from Chicago Public Schools, via a friend: “Members of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) will be holding a vote tonight on whether or not they will report to work tomorrow. If teachers vote NOT to report to schools & disrupt student learning, classes will be canceled…”

Teacher's unions should be illegal.

77% of Chicago teachers voted to refuse to return to work because of covid & the mayor canceled school today for all kids because teachers won’t show up. This is shameful & embarrassing.

What did you do in January 2019, the height of the seasonal flu season?

Among the many obvious illegalities of the Chicago strike is this: the vote actually FAILED under Illinois law, which requires 75%; they only got 73% but are striking anyway.
