MULGREW SAYS LOGIC WOULD DICTATE THAT KEEPING SCHOOLS OPEN LED TO MORE DEAD SCHOOL EMPLOYEES

From the NY Times:

Michael Mulgrew, the president of the city’s teachers’ union, suggested that thousands of city school workers may have been exposed to the virus or spread it over a critical two-week period through the second week in March, when schools remained open despite pressure to close them, and then for another week when teachers received in-school training for distance learning.

Asked whether he blamed those decisions for the number of dead school employees, Mr. Mulgrew hesitated. “I would like to see the science behind it, but logic would say that had something to do with it,” he said.



Okay so can someone please ask Mr. Mulgrew this question:

You knew school buildings were unsafe during a critical two week period in March so why didn't you strongly advise UFT members to leave and/or not enter those buildings until they were safe?

Because he doesnt care. Because he knows we are stupid. Because he knows that 99% plus will keep paying dues. Because he wants to be in bed with de blasio and carranza.

Very bad news: Mitch McConnell said he won't bail out blue states on Wednesday. He “would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route.”

This means there is a very high likelihood of NYC will go bankrupt, dismissing many teachers.

Plus, don't forget he wants to keep that $300,000/year salary.

To tell people to boycott work...AOC is racist, radical communist that wants to expand government control and dependency— and you are using the plight of minorities to fulfill your sick and twisted goals

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
--Franklin was as right for his times as he is for ours. Hardly any teachers I talk to have a problem sacrificing "inalienable" rights. There are some things worse than death and I'm seeing them.

As for AOC, most teachers I know think she walks on water. Loathsome opportunist. Check out the Georgia state congressman who decided to "leave the plantation." Some of us are getting it.

Whatever forgets is February break. So many teachers travel over that break, and that exacerbated the situation in schools.

I am grateful every single day that I survived the March 5th PTC.
