Gov. Newsom gave schools a deadline for reopening grants. Here's why they're waiting

Feb. 1—Today is the deadline Gov. Gavin Newsom set for California school districts to apply for a portion of the $2 billion in grants he wants the state to set aside to help them safely return to in-person instruction.

But despite growing frustration with distance learning, districts and labor groups have said the plan falls short of what's needed to safely reopen, and even if they do apply, it's unlikely to result in many California students back in classrooms soon.

Also, in order to reopen under guidelines Newsom recommends, county transmission rates need to be below 25 cases per 100,000 people — a metric few areas of the state are even close to meeting.

These days, if they are out of school, they are getting or remaining smarter.

Not true. This is a disaster for California and the United States. An entire generation is being left behind and lost as we speak, due to the teachers unions having the upper hand.

What percent is 25 per 100,000? .0025%? This isn’t a killer virus...the schools just don’t want to re-open. This is a virus in the same family as the common cold. Schools will never reopen in CA. Student has a runny nose and teachers cry “We’re all going to die!” Of course 90% are whacked out lefties.

CA is so bloated and overflowing with bull s***. I’d guess it probably teetering on total moral and economic breakdown.

We have friends who are still in the state and they call every week with tales about how it’s become all but unlivable. Then on Christmas day several platoons of cops descend on a parked car in front of a park which is across the street from their home. They pulled out a dead body. Another suicide.

Has any journalist had the stones to ask Newsom how he can justify keeping public schools closed when private schools have been open for months with no virus problems?

He actually doesn’t have much say on this issue

The unions are refusing to come back to work.

I know a few teachers who aren’t even concerned about CCP-19 and want to teach children but, union reps are preventing them for reasons other than hazards.

Depends on how you look at it.

If you want your kids fed ideology against the U. S., that all sorts of Deviant behaviors are optimal, and that they are guilty White racists that caused every bad thing in the world, then I guess you’re right.
