Several Florida teachers who received special permission to work from home due to coronavirus-related health concerns were found traveling and attending mass gatherings.
At an arbitration hearing this weekend, Broward County Public Schools brought forward evidence—including pictures posted to public social media accounts—that teachers who were granted permission to work from home because of the coronavirus pandemic had attended parties and other crowded events last fall. One teacher flew to a wedding in Jamaica, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and another took a selfie at an October rally for then-candidate Joe Biden.
The hearing resolved a Broward Teachers Union lawsuit that claimed the district improperly canceled work-from-home exemptions for 1,100 teachers. As a result of the hearing, the district can now force teachers to educate students in-person.
One teacher, Tracy Merlin, attended a rally for Biden, according to her publicly available profile picture. Months prior, the second-grade teacher appeared on Chris Cuomo's Prime Time and said she feared that in-person learning could put her daughter's health at risk.
"I'm also a mom. I don't want my daughter to come home with any of that," Merlin said in June. "I've been home since March because that's what we were told to, to go home, to stay safe."
Merlin opposes reopening schools for face-to-face instruction and was one of about 1,700 teachers who received permission to work from home last fall as the district reopened its schools in October....

Good. Get back in the classroom or be considered voluntarily terminated due to job abandonment.
A Biden rally isn’t exactly a mass gathering, but she deserves to be fired with no pension anyway.
I think the height of teacher hypocrisy is in Chicago, where teachers say they’re not going back to work until the STUDENTS are vaccinated.
It’s pretty obvious that after a year-long paid vacation, they haven’t got a lot of incentive to go back to work, period.

She had to take a selfie since there wasn’t anyone else to take a picture of at Biden’s rally.
Lying is a fireable offense.
Where are the parents? Why are they not at the school board meetings raising hell?
They can run for the school board and change that.
I’m not surprised that some teachers have taken advantage of politically correct pandemic to escape the classroom.
After all, regardless that the official job of teachers is to teach children, in some cases their informal job priority is probably to keep the kids from killing each other.
You can’t teach morals to a teacher.

Chuckling over your post: “A Biden rally isn’t exactly a mass gathering, but...”
Have them take a Covid test.
If the results show Zero Covid, they have 24 hours to report to work or be terminated.
No ethics, please. We’re Democrats.
Must be fake news, everyone knows Biden rallies do not qualify as "mass gatherings." ;-D
