Disgusting Hot Mic Moment Ends With SF Bay Area School Board President Sprinting for the Exit
Education,Reopening Schools,Teachers
Parents who have had it with teachers dragging their feet getting back to work will surely be infuriated over this call. Board members of a school district in Oakley, California, which is in the San Francisco Bay Area, were caught mocking parents during a video call and could only respond with “uh oh” when they realized all of their remarks were being broadcast live. I’ve said it for a while now and I think a lot of other people have done so as well. Teachers are lazy. They worried about COVID even though the science says it’s safe to reopen. The science is clear. Reopen the damn schools. Kids don’t get it and they don’t spread it. And now, even with teachers being vaccinated, they still don’t want to work.
Where I live, in Northern Virginia, the teachers cut the COVID vaccine lines. They still want to stay home. And yet, these are the same people who complain about their salaries. You don’t work year-round and now you’re just refusing to work. Period. Sorry, teachers, you earn every bit of scorn from parents. Kids are committing suicide and experiencing a horde of mental issues due to lack of in-person learning, and we have these clowns taking swipes at parents (via ABC 11):
In the video, board member Kim Beede uses expletives in talking about parents. The board also talks about making parents call in and record their public comments rather than making them appear live in a meeting and the recording would cut them off at exactly three minutes.
Board member Lisa Brizendine said in the video that the public forgets that there are real people on the other side of the letters.
"They don't know what goes on behind the scenes," said Brizendine. "It's really unfortunate they want to pick on us. They want their babysitters back."
