The fact that this hypocrisy is so widespread only makes it more outrageous!


Why is it a hypocrisy? Teachers are like anyone else and they can make choices about their children's educations. We can't force them to choose public school just because they work for a public school system. Just like we can't force the people who work for GE to only buy GE products and we can't force people who work for McDonald's to only eat McDonald's food.


The issue is he’s fighting to keep public schools closed while sending HIS kid to private school. If it’s so easy to learn from home, why not keep your kid there?


How many kids in the preschool? In the classroom?

I mean, if you want to make comparisons do so all the way.


That wasn’t his argument

"We'd heard for a while that he sent his kid to private preschool and we've been hearing him make crazy claims at the school board meetings — it was 'too dangerous' for schools to open because kids wouldn't wear masks. Meanwhile, his kid is wearing a mask at school," the group said in a written statement.

+1. If you’re the leader of an animal rights group, it’s probably not a good idea to walk around in a fur coat...

Even if it doesn't, why would private preschool be SAFE but public K, for instance, be UNSAFE?


because preschools are staffed by poor people who aren't members of unions?

I’ll admit this is funny, because it looks soooo bad for the teachers union. I can see why parents are frustrated.
