Bellevue Teachers Union: “We aren’t going back to work”

“BEA educators voted against moving forward expanding in-person learning until a COVID-19 vaccine is more readily available to all educators. Current in-person and virtual classes will continue pending an announcement from the district by Wednesday, approving the expansion pause.

"We have a vaccine on the horizon and we need to use every protection possible to keep our students, staff, and community safe," Snow said in the WEA statement. "It doesn’t make sense to return more students and staff to school buildings without taking every measure we can, which includes offering vaccines to educators."

More entertainment from the "we are all going to die" to "come on out it's safe now" show.

Sets up a showdown between the BSD superintendent and the teachers Union.

He basically said in an open letter that was emailed out to parents last week that union reps were reneging on an agreed upon rollout to in person learning and that the union was placing politics over students well-being.

Still no recorded cases of child-to-school staff transmission for those of you keeping score at home.

So, either the rank and file for the union prefers working from home in their PJs, or the union is after more than just access to vaccines.

Because last I checked, meat packers, Uber eats drivers, Amazon delivery people, and grocery baggers are still out at work, servicing these teachers who are at home, ranting about Donald Trump on zoom calls with their 2nd grade students instead of teaching math and writing.

I fucking cannot stand teachers unions and 50% of all primary public educators are trash anyway. Maybe 40% in Bellevue, since it’s apparently one of the best districts on the west coast.

But, remember...as the LA County School Union Chief taught us, this is all about them keeeds, right?

Well, put the teachers union leaders in with that fucking faggot Jay Inslee as child killers, too.

I'm not sure that LA schools even exist anymore. When home learning was rolled out about 50% of the kids didn't bother. And that was last winter

Inslee is hot garbage, but he’s asking for a return to in-person learning, knowing that parents have had enough and there’s a political cost.

Teachers Union wants something more than just vaccines and they’re sending a message that they can exact that political cost if they do choose.

But, but, but....science, guys.

I think BTA should use up all of their political capital today.

I haven't tracked it super close lately, but last I saw Jay was being sorta canny and letting Reykdal be the bad guy calling for mass death by way of opening schools.
