If you think school closures are a thing of the past, think again. The Washington, D.C., school system adopted a vaccine mandate for COVID-19, as well as other diseases, known as “no shots, no school.” That means not only barring students from on-site instruction but not offering alternative online home instruction.
The city council and health bureaucrats were very proud of themselves. “None of this was ever meant to be punitive,” one council member told DC List. “It was always about, how do we protect the school community enough to keep kids in school.”
“Enough to keep kids in school”? Obviously, no one on the city council called across town to check with the CDC about their new guidelines that say school closings should only be considered in extreme circumstances.
Regardless, there was another small problem with forcing kids to get jabbed in order to attend school: about 40% of black kids don’t have a COVID shot.
“To reduce the number of students who could be excluded from school at any one time, and to align schools and LEAs [local education agencies] to one unified notification and exclusion timeline, we are implementing staggered enforcement based on grade band,” Kihn wrote to school leaders on Friday. “We have heard from many of you about the challenges of tracking enforcement for COVID-19 vaccinations … We hope that the January 3, 2023 date for first exclusions of non-compliant students will give schools and LEAs additional time to prepare and for students to get their COVID-19 vaccinations.”
Another problem is that the COVID vaccine has only been approved for kids over 12 years old. The FDA has yet to approve the vaccines for kids any younger except on an “emergency basis.”

I don’t blame the parents in DC for avoiding the vaccine. The US doesn’t have the best reputation with vaccines with blacks.
School is now purely a waste of time for kids. It does at least keep them off the streets ...btw, how long until it’s deemed racist to do even that? How long before millions of kids are just swarming the streets during school hours?
All those free meals aren’t going to keep forever.
My guess is the DC city legal department told school administrators they were going to loose a piss pot full of fed money if they carried through with their ban and starve children in the process...
“D.C. Will Delay Enforcing Vaccination Mandate Due the Potential For Empty Classrooms”
So the WHITE SUPREMACISTS that run Washington DC want the primarily black student body to DIE OF COVID. No surprise here.
(I know, but if we would start talking like Democrats, we might stop losing to them)
DO NOT COMPLY. It will force the cowardly tyrant’s hands to reverse their inhumane and harmful decrees. And never forget that YOU pay their salaries.
The black community has served as US Government guinea pigs a handful of times in our history.
They’re not doing it again.
Is the writer hinting that Mayor Bowsers rule of No Vax = No School (not even virtual) is going to be ugnored?
She has put her foot down.
saw a comirnaty commercial for 12-15 year olds complete with side effects
yep heart inflammation
they get allocated money based on headcount
teacher union no doubt got bowser’s ear
Easy to fix. Just put all the white kids in all white classes and put the few blacks into their black classrooms.
The blacks all want segration anyway. This way when the black kids a forceably jabbed they won’t have been left behind.
Isn’t there a law that says children have to go to school a certain number of days?
How can Mayor stop from educating children
comirnaty...community?
How can Mayor stop from educating children
“ The US doesn’t have the best reputation with vaccines with blacks.”
Please explain.
Just one of many, I don’t blame them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study
DC is actually doing a good thing. It will keep a lot of kids from getting heart problems and blood clots and dying young if they don’t show up for school.
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that CoupFlu policy has NEVER been about public health.
Those parents need to sue to stop the mayor from forcing those vaxes. They are still using the EUA so they need to take this to court.
