[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]African-American women are disproportionately like to a) get; b) die from COVID. There are also twice as likely as white people to be caring for elderly parents/relatives. Many white parents on DCUM use poor children (who they couldn't give zero effs about, normally) as a shield for their racist and misogynistic response to African-American teachers and the WTU. It is not laziness and a lack of caring for children that makes teacher skeptical about  DCPS/DCPCS back to in-person school plans. It's fear and distrust. You have to counter fear and distrust with confidence building-measures like rapid testing and isolating students within the school building like they do in Scandinavia. [/quote]

I'd suggest learning a little more before you slander people you don't know as racist. Almost two-thirds of the people who've died in DC from coronavirus are elderly (at least 70 years old). Most elderly people in DC are 1. African-American and 2. Female. [/quote]

Do you mean libel?  :oops:

Who do we think are taking care of elderly African-American women? Their African-American daughters, nieces, and daughters-in-law...wait for it...a lot of them work for DCPS or DCPCS.  :roll: [/quote]

Not at LAMB! LAMB is an extremely white school. [/quote]

LAMB teachers are overwhelmingly Hispanic, actually. This is the demographic we are talking about.

I read somewhere that they are not faring as poorly as AA in terms of relative incidence and mortality rates, but also not as well as white people in DC area. [/quote]
