[California Globe] The hundreds of thousands of CA teachers and millions of CA students are stuck working from home on computers
Comparing the Coronavirus restrictions in the 50 states and District of Columbia, California is the most restrictive state, listed at #51, the Globe reported last week.
Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all public schools closed, and they remain closed, since last Spring. The SAT exam was cancelled. High schoolers have lost college opportunities, academic scholarships, and sports scholarships.
While other states have allowed athletics to return, California high school and club sports teams remain benched.
This is cruel and abusive to California’s children.
California’s school kids are now seriously behind their counterparts in other states. And they are hurting because they aren’t allowed to attend school, participate in team sports, clubs, band, dances, graduations, classroom learning, and the social life that goes with attending school in person.
A group of concerned parents in Sonoma County have been demanding answers from their county health officials to questions of why their kids aren’t back in school. They created the above billboard to very visibly make their point.
The most restrictive lockdowns are in states and cities run by Democrats, and the most restrictive lockdowns within those states are in cities run by Democrats. In California, Gov. Newsom never has produced any science or medical data/statistics showing that lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have helped curb the coronavirus. Rather, many doctors have publicly said the lockdowns only exacerbated the spread, and is not the way to address a contagious virus.
Remember when "experts" insisted that parents limit the "screen time" of their children because of the negative effects staring at a computer or television game too long has on kids?
It became very clear early on that the governor really wanted to exert totalitarian control over the state and its people once he had everyone locked down.
According to the California Department of Education, there are 6,163,001 students in California’s 10,588 public schools. There are 675,374 students in California’s 1,303 charter schools. There are 319,004 teachers in California’s public schools.
These hundreds of thousands of California teachers and millions of California students are stuck working from home on computers.
One of the largest school public school systems in the country, the Los Angeles Unified School District, has 1,302 schools, 734,641 students, and 26,556 teachers. Those 734,641 students are stuck at home "distance learning," on computers 6-8 hours a day because the teachers union doesn’t want teachers to return to the classrooms without first extorting more money from the governor and the state budget.
A California psychologist told the Globe there is a 63% increase in overdose deaths for 2020, compared to the average of 2017-2019. She said as she understand it, suicides will cumulatively grow over the next 10 years, but overdoses are out of control right now.
