Lots of teachers are suburban white women so maybe not.

How do you feel parents & teachers!

It’s cute that this White House thinks anyone pays any heed to what it says or orders.

Who cares what this WH has to see. Like anyone cares what an impeached, narcissistic, piece of Xxxx has to say.

+1 They're moms and members of our community. Not only do they matter just as much as others do -- but they will spread the virus. Thanks, shithead Donald Trump.

Now all teachers will have to teach. It can be in-person or online. But. They. Have. To. Teach.

You are not very bright.

This is what you want?

“ the essential worker designation provides guidance for educators that is only voluntary, it calls on teachers to return to the classroom even after potential exposure.

Vice President Mike Pence announced the decision to governors on a call earlier this week, a person familiar with the decision said. Under Department of Homeland Security guidance issued this week, teachers are now considered "critical infrastructure workers" and are subject to the same kinds of advisories as other workers who have born that label -- such as doctors and law enforcement officers.
The guidance for essential workers states that they can continue to work even after exposure to a confirmed case of Covid-19, provided they remain asymptomatic. Schools' contribution to community spread has already been a top concern for districts making the decision to open or close, so pushing teachers to continue working after potential exposure could prove controversial.”

Yes.

You want infected teachers around your kids? Why do you hate your kids so much?

How this would woo them I can’t imagine? More like REPEL

Uh, this kind of thing definitely would woo certain Arlington moms.

We dont get it. I work in multiple medical facilities. The unions are fighting for it for grocery store workers also.

Regardless of what the definition of essential is, asymptomatic covid + dont actually keep working anywhere that im familiar with (all medical places)

I took designation as teachers cannot continue to say "I don't want to return in person until x,y,z" which no essential worker can say that. But with any positive case (even asymptomatic) we still have to quarantine.

The imbecile occupying the WH would not have graduated college, and possibly not even graduated high school, if Daddy hadn't financially greased the wheels, so this latest windbag proclamation will be given exactly the amount of credibility it deserves. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

By the way, essential worker teachers HAVE been working every contracted day since March, and will continue to (essentially) work every contracted day in the coming semester -- safely from home, just like millions of other Americans, as they are essential educators, not essential babysitters.

Here's the relevant quote from your link: "The essential worker designation provides guidance for educators that is only voluntary."

Good try, though.

NEXT!

the essential worker designation provides guidance for educators that is only voluntary, it calls on teachers to return to the classroom even after potential exposure.

Also, it doesn't mean that the state can force the teachers back to school. It just provides guidance and it's still *voluntary*.

It's not a good idea for any essential worker to do this.
