Listen to the Science: Teachers Union Boss Says ‘Real Issue’ Is Making Sure People ‘Feel’ Safe
Breitbart ^ | 02/09/2022 | Hannah Bleau

It is so much better to cripple a child’s youth than to have teachers worry about an imaginary threat. /s

Typical leftist. When all else fails make it about “feelings” rather than “facts”.

I understand the “feel safe” issue. I have employees who feel safe by wearing masks. I wear mine around them to honor their feelings.

NOT for your children.

NOT for the taxpayers, who pay their (teacher’s) salaries.

Exactly what are teacher’s unions needed for, any way?

Collecting and distributing campaign cash to Democrats, of course!

I don’t want them to feel safe.

If they need to “Feel” Safe, get those who need a pacifier from Dollar General.

If there is no proven value for wearing the masks, then the AFT can help the students feel safe by reassuring them that they will be just fine going maskless.

If they want me to “feel safe” they can start by deporting the illegal aliens....

I am not wearing a piece of cloth on my face that the science says 100% ineffective to make someone feel good. If they want to wear it, I don’t care.

This IS The Face of CHILD ABUSE due to the elites pushing masks and Covid Mandates on our children!

We call it Child Abuse, when children have to put up with Covid protocol B$ in schools, on playgrounds and to and from school.

These dangerous and unhealthy restrictions are even worse for any child of any age.

So, the teachers union is what qualifies for science now... is that it???

Many people have claustrophobia from wearing masks.

Taking it off makes them feel extremely more safe.

Their feelings don’t trump my ability to breathe and communicate like a human being.
