Exactly.

...except teacher vaccines DID just get paused by INOVA. Also, this is written by the crazy OpenFCPS guy that even a lot of OpenFCPS people know is just in it because he is trying to get Republicans on the School Board.

You hardly have to be anti-labor or a conservative to believe that, if teachers won't be in person after being vaccinated, there is no need for them to get priority. If they are working remotely, why shouldn't they wait their turn like most other workers who have been able to work remotely?

Obviously, if a teacher qualifies because of their age or preexisting condition, they shouldn't be disqualified from receiving a vaccine because they are a teacher. But being a teacher itself shouldn't entitle them to priority if they aren't in person.

No one has guaranteed teachers either continued DL or a vaccine. At least not where I live. The district refuses to say vaccination is required to return, but it also refuses to say that teachers can be forced to return unvaccinated.

Some of the public must be a joy to date! “Don’t order dinner if you’re not going to put out!”

I don’t think I can take much more teacher hate right now. It is awful being accused of things I never did and have no control over.

hard to believe that the teachers unions abhorrent behavior has made me, a die-hard liberal, align with an Eric Cantor aide.

There are high risk groups not getting vaccinated, there are front facing employees of various industries not getting vaccinated, there are people aged 75+ that are not getting vaccinated because there aren't enough vaccines.

Everyone that absolutely need the vaccine *right now* because of those factors should be getting the vaccine right now. Not teachers that are distance learning and not for future needs of *possible* in person teaching who knows how far down the line that the can keeps getting kicked down.

Everyone working at in person jobs should be getting vaccinated not the maybe I'll be working in person later people.

Well, you got your wish. Unless they scheduled early, teachers of grades 3 through 12 will remain unvaccinated for the foreseeable future.

I don’t have a union rep. About 3 percent of the faculty belong to FEA.

It would be great if we actually had unions in Northern Virginia, but we don’t. You think teachers are on strike or something? Idiot.

For some reason Kimberly Adams thinks she represents you. Because someone joined her union and voted for her. Then she mad big news getting vaccinated. Does she even teach BTW? If she doesn’t represent you, for the love of God choose someone else. And no, saying: she doesn’t represent me, but I’m being peer pressured into not contradicting her doesn’t make you anything but a coward. Put up. Or STFU.

Well, then the other 97% of you need to stop letting FEA give the impression that they speak for you. You preach to kids about not giving into peer pressure and standing up for their beliefs. Time to walk the walk. When you keep your head down and stay quiet, the FEA is the only voice parents hear. And frankly, the FEA is noxious and making parents despise teachers.

I didn’t want to be part of a union for God’s sake. And now I have to organize a union to combat a pretend union? I so don’t have the time or energy for this. I hear you. She needs to STFU. i just can’t do this signature gathering letter writing campaign thing. I am depressed enough as it is.
