California Teachers Feel Disposable as Gavin Newsom Pushes For Schools to Reopen
On 2/9/21 at 6:34 AM EST
In the state hardest hit by the pandemic, a heated debate about the reopening of schools is underway and teachers there are feeling unheard.
Last month, the embattled governor told the Association of California School Administrators that waiting to reopen schools until teachers had received vaccines was unrealistic.
Newsom s efforts appeared bolstered by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who said vaccinating teachers is not a prerequisite for safe reopening of schools on Wednesday.
She cited CDC data showing that social distancing and wearing a mask significantly reduce the spread of the virus in schools.
