#1 While I understand a person not wanting to work conditions adverse to their personal safety. Given the "claimed" NEA support of VAX'ing, then why are teacher refusing to teach? Should they been good little union members and have alrwady taken the VAX and all the boosters that Lord F & JB have decreed?

Or, is this really a politically agenda move to force other union demands greater agenda goals?

A very real possibility.

#6 #3 Frank G, that was the first thought that crossed my mind. I doubt that a lot of the national guard or state bureaucrats have all the training and education degrees that we hear are necessary. But they can do the job just as well as the credentialed teachers? Is that what we are hearing?

#10 The article said the teacher shortage was the result of COVID related quarantines and isolation of + cases, not that teachers were refusing to teach. I think any able bodied person with a 1960s or earlier class high school diploma could teach reasonably well brought up primary students, but perhaps not in New Mexico. It is our own third world state, after all.
