“Follow the science,” it said about handling COVID. But for Team Biden, it was follow the teachers unions when it came to reopening schools.

Emails between the White House, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — provided to the watchdog group Americans for Public Trust via a Freedom of Information Act request — reveal that the Biden administration not only consulted national teachers unions before releasing school reopening guidance to the public, it put a heavy thumb on the scales in favor of the unions’ agenda.

Who cares?

We have ongoing evidence of the fraudulent 2020 election results that illegally put the Imposter in Chief in the WH. So what? Nobody cares.

I forget which teacher's union hack said it best.

'We will start worrying about the children when they start paying union dues and making political contributions.'

And nobody with two brain cells left to rub against the other would be surprised by this.

When school children start paying union dues, that ‘s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.

Here Is The Chicago Teachers Union’s List Of 9 Demands Before They Return To Teaching
Empty classrooms: Every room must be hermetically sealed for a minimum of 3 months and flooded with bleach daily. Those cesspools of germs known as “kids” must not be allowed within 100 feet of a physical school. Let’s be honest— the fact that children are gross is undisputed. We teachers simply cannot risk being exposed to actual children and their grossness.

Teleportation machines: We all know that for us young teachers dying from a traffic accident is a thousand times more likely than dying from COVID. So what kind of insane maniac would drive a vehicle? Teleportation must be available to all possible destinations a teacher may need to go— like the coffee shop, or the yoga pants store.

Dance lessons: Dancing is one of the most important parts of a union protest. Teachers are being harmed by people mocking our dancing all the time. They don’t seem to get that we’re professional teachers who are supposed to be teaching, not dancing. We need to become professional dancers to adequately express our feelings, and so everyone will stop making fun of us.

End all science classes: But if kids take science classes, they might start listening to actual scientists. If they listen to actual scientists, they might find out that there they are at an almost 0% risk for contracting or spreading viruses. Then we might look bad.

Triple-masking at all times during Zoom calls: Seeing children’s actual faces on Zoom would cause tremendous anxiety. Triple-masking is a must until we are sure the virus cannot be spread through the World Wide Web.

24-hour Target delivery service: We do recognize that there are essential employees in the world, like the personal shoppers at Target. We want to honor them by asking them to work 24 hours per day because if they never leave Target, their risk of getting COVID is greatly reduced. Plus, at any moment we might need the newest line of stuff from that Magnolia place.

A popcorn machine in the break room: This goes without saying.

Personal bodyguard: These people have to be willing to literally lay down their lives for us, OK? Like, risk everything to make sure we’re safe, because caring for others is why they’re paid, and if they aren’t willing... wait... umm… just make sure they look like Dwayne Johnson.
