North Carolina Teachers Union Issues Return To School Demands, Includes Rent Moratoriums and Universal Health Care

Well, 2020 has been a sh*tshow in every sense of the word. However, 2020 has, once and for all, exposed teachers unions for being the nakedly political organizations that they are. All the world can see clearly now, thanks to reporting from organizations like The Blaze.

Enter the Durham Association of Educators in North Carolina. They have demands people.

The Durham Association of Educators is calling for sweeping social programs such as universal health care, welfare benefits for illegal immigrants, and a suspension of rents and mortgages.

Last week, the DAE released a “Statement on School Re-Open Plans.” The teachers’ union says, “COVID-19 is a game of Russian Roulette, in which BIPOC communities are disproportionately killed.”

The union claims that politicians “are under enormous pressure to re-open schools, no matter the risk,” and “they are prepared to let us get sick and die.” The announcement states: “Trump, DeVos, and Berger want schools to open because they care about protecting wealth and big business.”

The DAE says schools can not reopen “until COVID-19 transmission rates are much lower than they are now,” and the union instructs Gov. Roy Cooper (D) to completely shut down North Carolina.

The union calls for sweeping social programs in its reopening demands statement.

“There are concrete policies that have permitted other countries to flatten the curve and return to public life: moratoriums on rent and mortgage, universal health care, direct income support regardless of immigration status,” the statement reads.

Last week, Cooper unveiled his plan to reopen North Carolina schools in August. The plan is to have children attend in-person classes every other day or every other week that will feature “moderate social distancing.”

“We know that school will look a lot different this year,” Cooper said last Tuesday. “They have to in order to be safe and effective. The public health experts and the school leaders developed these safety rules to protect our students and teachers and their families.”

Teachers have balked at Cooper’s school reopening plan.

Who in the hell do these people think they are?!

They are refusing to return to work, when nearly EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY ALREADY HAS. If they refuse to return to work, they should be fired. The taxpayers should not be on the hook to these people’s Marxist, leftist demands.

Do you think maybe some teachers have become a little too big for their britches? Their job is to educate children in academic subjects, not act as political agitators. Of course, there are many good teachers out there. But they are being overshadowed and having their  reputations sullied by their own unions.

It is time for parents to become loud and clear with their demands. For starters, kids need to be back in school. Next, kids need to be taught math, reading, writing, grammar, history, and science. They do not need liberal indoctrination. They do not need social emotional learning, which is just more cover for liberal indoctrination. And they certainly do not need extreme sex education. Let’s stick to basic facts and biology here.

The unions better be careful what they wish for. If they refuse to “have school”, parents will find another way to educate their children. Some may homeschool, some may go to private school. Many may realize their kids are better off outside of the public school system. Then, the power-hungry unions will have lost their power.

It’s time to stand up to the teachers unions and take back our schools!
