Democrats use our children as political pawns

There has been much research done on the subject of keeping the public schools open while fighting the covid-19 virus. Every analysis concludes that the virus is not readily transmitted to or from children, all the way up to the age of about 20. Restate that fact! There is very, very little danger of young people suffering from an infection of covid-19 virus. The very few that test positive are asymptomatic. To state the fact so that even democrat leaders can understand, young people are almost oblivious to any ill effects from the virus. That having been said, anyone that tells you that we need to keep schools closed to protect the children are simply LYING TO YOU. Anyone who tells you this lie is attempting to use our children as pawns in some nasty political fight for their private political agenda.

One group of these liars is running the teachers unions in the Los Angeles area. Up until recently, these unions have been trying to keep schools from reopening under the pretext that they were worried about the children’s health. As each study has concluded it has been made clearer that the children’s health risk is very minimal, but these liars have persisted to claim that they oppose opening the schools due to health risks for the children. I was wondering if they would ever tell the truth.

Well, some of the truth is coming out. The unions are still demanding that the schools remain closed. However, the unions have now released a list of demands which MUST BE MET before they will allow the schools to reopen.

Demand number 1 - Implement a moratorium on “private” schools (i.e. charter schools)

Demand number 2 - Defund the police.

Demand number 3 Raise taxes on the wealthy

Demand number 4 – Implement Medicare for all

Do you see anything implied in their demands which relates to the children’s health? What do the demands 2 through 4 have to do with children’s education? As a matter of fact, what gives the teacher’s union any right to threaten to harm our children’s education if we don’t give in to their demands? Extortion for political reasons is not within the legal scope of the teacher’s union! If I were able, I would disband the teacher’s unions and place a moratorium on “public” schools and the totally inferior education being provided by them. If they want to be politicians, then do so. They are not being paid to write laws. They are supposed to teach, not indoctrinate. Last of all, it is bad enough to have the democrat politicians play “dictator” instead of trying to serve their citizens. Close the public schools in and around Los Angeles, and use charter schools instead.
