With some Bay Area school districts requiring students to get COVID-19 shots to return to class, Black students are being vaccinated at rates far below their peers, exacerbating long-standing racial disparities laid bare by the pandemic and raising fears that Black students could be disproportionately shut out of public school.

This will be interesting to see how this plays out. Black and Hispanic kids did poorly with the distance learning at home. White and Asian kids did much better. If now with returning to classrooms for instruction and the black kids get locked out it will be a return to "Jim Crow on steroids"

Clearly this is a conspiracy to deny these kids their civil rights.

They will sue and then the Just Us Department will settle for 1M per child.

When the mask/vaccine mafia realizes that these Bay Area students are missing out on their CRT indoctrination, perhaps they’ll rescind this socialist mandate.

Tough! They voted for the DEMs and the nutjob in the White House. They deserve to suffer. I’ve spent whatever goodness toward fellow man I had remaining since 2008.

Given the quality of “woke” schools, any student NOT attending has a far better chance of success.

Plus, they have less chance of getting sh...er...Pelosistuff on their shoes.

"This will be interesting to see how this plays out. Black and Hispanic kids did poorly with the distance learning at home. White and Asian kids did much better. "

Then this 'distance-learning' is racist and must be suspended.

What if they find out that black students avoid the jab as a get out of school free card. That would be a dilemma. What will they do next? Go after the parents. That’s what Kamalatoe did.

It is not the case that Black kids or black peoples are not prioritized for vaccination it is that they don’t be looking for vaccination. I am reminded of the diners from Texas beating up the hostess in NYC because they didn’t have proof of vaccination. I have proof of vaccination and I don’t get hassled about it. I am not against vaccination but then I have been getting vaccinations all my life. My dad was military and we didn’t ask questions we rolled up our sleeves.

And the black kids are delighted not to have to go to school.

Think like the Woke Folk—this is easy to fix.

Declare that blacks have Royal Blood and are therefore immune from the virus and do not need vaccines.

Problem solved!
