Massachusetts Teachers’ Unions Push for Delay in Return to In-School Learning: ‘This Whole Process Is Being Rushed’
15 Mar 2021
Massachusetts teachers’ unions are backing a piece of emergency legislation filed by state lawmakers that would block the Bay State’s education commissioner from mandating that all districts return to in-person learning by April 5.
“This whole process is being rushed, being pushed by unelected bureaucrats who are out of touch with reality,” said Merrie Najimy, president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), reported the
Boston Globe Sunday. “They don’t understand the amount of change that has to happen in the next couple of weeks to be ready.”
