Many of the nation’s 3.5 million teachers found themselves feeling under siege this week as pressure from the White House, pediatricians and some parents to get back to physical classrooms intensified — even as the coronavirus rages across much of the country.
On Friday, the teachers’ union in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest district, demanded full-time remote learning when the academic year begins on Aug. 18, and called President Trump’s push to reopen schools part of a “dangerous, anti-science agenda that puts the lives of our members, our students and our families at risk.”

They don’t want to work ...but they want taxes raised to pay for them not to work.
Ah, “teachers.” Should be cleaning cages at the zoo.
This will be a huge problem this fall. I don’t blame some of teachers. They need to settle for sick pay or unemployment just like everyone else.
But could you imagine going back to work in this environment where “minors” could erupt and torch a school at any moment?
Another prime reason to eliminate classroom education and to go to the internet at home or elsewhere.
Then quit. Let’s have a complete overhaul and this time not have them be leftist agitators.
I agree fire them all and start over with teachers who really want to teach..
Of course they did, considering how many of their remote students completely bailed. Makes for a lot less work for Teach, doesn't it?
If conservatives haven't become teachers in the past, which I don't believe BTW, why will they now?
FIRE THEM!!!
DISGUSTING !!
Hadn’t thought about the BLM angle.
You are right, some high schools could be war zones.
“Just send me my tax-payer provided check!”
Meet the Karens..
This nation's teachers' unions are wholly owned subsidiaries of Rat Party Headquarters...as is the NY Slimes.
These whining panty waists need to have their incomes disappear. What about those of us who have had to work around covid daily or not get paid while others have sat home making more than their usual incomes on unemployment. Go back to work. We have not shirked our responsibilities, so why should they?
Get vouchers out there and let schools pay teachers commensurate salaries with tax payer money that parents choose to invest in working schools.
Defund the Democrat madrassas.
My first thought also, not the wuhan flu. Especially after some schools said they would no longer call in the police when needed.
It is not about fear. Word has gone out from the DNC, keep the schools closed. It hobbles the economy and helps the mail voting push. The teachers unions are among the biggest rat contributors. In Texas thus week the teacher unions held strategy sessions on using the ADA and other laws to stay out. I expect hack judges to move on this and side with the teachers.
NO SCHOOL NO TAXES
Some already are war zones.
