From the Flying Circus, now for something completely different....

Regarding this pandemic and the debate to open schools this fall here are the LA Teachers Union’s demands before opening the doors to children.

Quote: “The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States underscores the deep equity and justice challenges arising from our profoundly racist, intensely unequal society,” the paper read. “Unlike other countries that recognize protecting lives is the key to protecting livelihoods, the United States has chosen to prioritize profits over people. The Trump administration’s attempt to force people to return to work on a large scale depends on restarting physical schools so parents have childcare. In Los Angeles, this means increasing risk especially in Black and Brown working communities, where people are more likely to have 'essential' jobs, insufficient health care, higher levels of preexisting health conditions, and to live in crowded housing."

“Meanwhile,” it continued, “the rewards of economic recovery accrue largely to white and well-off communities that have largely been shielded from the worst of the pandemic’s effects.”

Oh, they conditioned opening schools in the face of this terrible pandemic with defunding the police first, too. Very settled science here, folks.
