[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of these parents who don't want to send their kids to school are also anti-vaxxers. Maybe we should stop caring what they want because they are idiots. [/quote]

I think there is a difference and should be differentiated that there are people who are anti-vax and those that are vaccine hesitant.  I understand that Blacks are vaccine hesitant. It’s different than privileged higher socioeconomic anti-vax’ers who relay on others creating herd immunity. For Blacks there’s a history of mistreatment when it comes to medical trials. There’s a reason for the mistrust in the medical industry and the institutions. For instance, look at the clinical trials for COVID vaccine in children. 85% white, 11% Hispanic and about 5% Black. Another layer of complexity is access to the vaccines. I bring all this up because Charters serve a larger percentage of Blacks. So they’re hesitancy seems founded. It’s unfortunate but I understand.

right, let’s compound the historic inequities of Tuskeegee by keeping black kids out of school. I’ve been saying this all along, but the school closure advocates were totally unconscionable in exploiting black fears by exaggerating the danger of open schools. And now here is the result - black families are scared to return, against all evidence. instead of acting like that fear is extrinsic, schools need to own that they created it and they need to address if now.
