To all politicians Please dont be heartless. Dont put them in dangers.This virus is invisible.

Yes that's correct and also lets back that up till late May they still had online classes they worked through. I know they also aint going to risk there lives for people outside there families. I damn sure wouldn't do it either. Just screwed up all way round. Bad times

So if the teachers refuse to return to work, after doing nothing since March, they'll be laid off and/or the school districts will be de-funded, right?

Teachers, I feel for you all, where you have to risk your lives and those of you family members, as you are forced to go into a classroom that no doubt will be FILLED with COVID-19. This is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH for many of you. USED YOU COLLECTION BARGAINING POWER TO PROTECT YOUR LIVES. Cops all over are having SICKOUTS because they don't like other criminal cops being arrested and fired; why won't you use you coalitions to do something more noble: Saving Teacher's and Children's lives? If you all simply don't show up for class, the evil party will be over. SCHOOL BOARD OFFICIALS HAVE HAD MONTHS TO PROPERLY GET LAPTOPS INTO THE HANDS OF STUDENTS, WHERE THEY COULD CONTINUE EDUCATION AT HOME WITH A LIMITED LOSS OF LIFE. NOW YOU TEACHERS HAVE TO RISK YOU LIVES. Not even the politicians are going back into congressional sessions; because they FEAR catching this virus. Teachers Stay home!
