A California school board member is facing criticism after comparing reopening schools amid uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus vaccination rollout to White supremacist ideology and slavery in a meeting earlier this week.
The comments from La Mesa-Spring Valley Schools Board Vice President Chardá Bell-Fontenot – which were confirmed to Fox News by Superintendent David Feliciano – come as the San Diego-area district’s board voted in favor Tuesday of bringing students back to classrooms for hybrid learning starting April 19. I don’t think our plan should revolve around a vaccination, solely, a person is heard saying in a YouTube audio version of that board meeting posted online by the district. I think there are a lot of other factors that are really important for children s health and well-being that we need to take into account her

Leaders of hundreds of now-shuttered San Diego County schools say the surge in COVID-19 cases is keeping schools closed indefinitely for thousands of students. Some school leaders and parents say their frustration is growing because the worse the surge gets, the farther away a possibility of reopening seems.
“Every time people make a decision like not to wear masks, every time people make decisions to congregate with people outside of their households the result of those individual actions is that it will delay the time that kids can be back in school,” said Richard Barrera, vice president of the San Diego Unified School Board.
