The San Francisco Unified School District and United Educators of San Francisco, the local affiliate of the National Education Association, the country’s largest special interest group, have reached an agreement to allow high school seniors to “return” to school.
According to the deal, two of the city’s twelve high schools, which have been closed for more than a full calendar year, will “open” on May 14 for one day of “in-person supervision” so that they can receive a $15 million handout from the state government for getting kids back into school before the -- wait for it -- May 15 deadline.
Yep, just one day. Yep, just two schools. Yep, just for “in-person supervision,” not “in-person instruction.”
“In-person supervision” is union-speak for “Shut up and sit here in this room all day while we count our money.” On May 13, the union’s position was that the high schools aren’t safe to open. On May 14, they are safe enough to open, as long as you have that check in hand. On May 15? Who knows? Probably back to being unsafe again, unless you really make it worth our while.
Unions across the country have been fighting the reopening of public schools tooth and nail for more than a year, “the science” be damned.

The dumber and less inquisitive the students, the better... for Leftists.
On May 15 they mail out the diplomas.
I know it's rough and dangerous, but because they really care about your kids (and the $15M), they'll brave it out for one day. We should applaud their sacrifice.
Texas schools have been open for in-class instruction since last October.
about as much as the parents who eagerly go along with whatever they're told.
Florida K-12 schools have been open since the school year began on time.
My neighbor the teacher got vaccinated probably over two months ago with the J&J shot. She is the only person I know personally that has a great fear of Covid.
I walked in to my Florida county vaccination clinic and got my second shot of Moderna weeks ago about 15 minutes after showing up.
My local Wal-Mart now offers vaccination, with few takers.
It’s probably going to get much harder to get vaccinated against Covid in the future because most vaccination sites are going to get closed down.
Whoopi Goldberg visited East Orange (at the western border of the Newark NJ welfare reservation) to whip those reluctant blacks into getting their “vaccines”...
Pathetic
I believe the ongoing mail strike/work slowdown is one segment of gubmint workers resenting that another (the teachers) has been able to spend 14 months in their pajamas.
