That wasn’t true at my school (22204) where many families told us the reason they kept their children virtual was because there were vulnerable family members at home. |
There were lots of complaints at school board meetings from the Latino community about inaccessibility to school bus stops and lack of before and after care. |
LOL. Mow you're just making things up. You are wrong on all counts. APA's distance learning programming during the Fall of 2020 was NOT at all about ADA. It was a school district choice to keep learning virtual and keep students, staff and families safe. Stop ignoring the facts and spewing lies. ADA had NOTHING to do with it. - a parent |
So you agree workers in the US are taken advantage of constantly on almost all fronts by their employers (who have bought their elected and appointed officials) and need to collectively unite in order for real change to happen. |
Uh huh. So what changed just a few months later in Fall 2021 in the midst of the Delta wave? When all those families chose to send kids back? |
First to address the poster way above, a person with an immunocompromised partner at home would not qualify for ADA. The worker who requests an ADA accommodation must have the disability. You might have used the ADA process and your employer might have let you stay home anyway, but that decision had zero legal basis under ADA. I agree the distance learning program was not entirely about ADA but the number of people seeking out ADA accommodations was certainly a factor in the school district deciding to go virtual. The school district was faced with telling all those people to come in or they were fired at a time when they already were having a lot of labor problems. In general, the discomfort of teachers was a factor in the decision to stay virtual in Fall 2020. Sorry if you think it's a lie. It's not. I'm not going to tell you my exact job but I can tell you with certainty none of the above is a lie. |
Walk me through what it looks like for you once the the nurses and doctors, grocery workers, bus drivers, police offers, firefighters, EMT workers, water and sewer plant workers, trash pickup teams, road maintenance crews, long haul truckers, pharmacists, and hospital workers among many jobs have collectively united and decided during a pandemic they are not going to show up to work. What happens next? |
Hey bootlicker, People want to work. People also people also want to be treated humanely, paid a living wage and have risks (like adverse effects to physical and mental health) minimized. |
Just wait, when unemployment jumps to 10-15% these jobs will be much easier to fill. |
Ok so you have no answer. Got it. Some people in this pandemic had jobs that did not involve sitting home . I have one of them. I was not treated inhumanely. It was just the job. If I could no longer perform my job during a pandemic, I needed to quit. Your fantasy of the proletariat uniting and rising up to do…what exactly…against the big bad “man” who is out to get them is naive and ridiculous. |
NP. Nope. The ADA also explicitly guarantees that "Persons discriminated against because they have a known association or relationship with a disabled individual also are protected" -- and those people can apply for protection under the ADA, although they do not have the disability themselves. That doesn't mean this was why PP was granted WFH, but your post was not completely correct. https://www.eeoc.gov/fact-sheet/ada-questions-and-answers |
Um, vaccines? |
That's the key here. The parents are at home because the office isn't safe from covid. But they're more than happy to send kids and teachers back into the building. The narcissism in this dichotomy is crazy! |
And they have no perspective because they never been in the position of being forced back. It’s do what I say not do what I do. |
Vaccines were available when kids went back spring 2021. |
