Teachers unions are systemically racist

[Counselor706]

NAACP President Derrick Johnson defines systemic racism as “systems and structures that have procedures or processes that disadvantages African Americans.” A writer at liberal news outlet Vox said systemic racism is a term “used to talk about all of the policies and practices entrenched in established institutions that harm certain racial groups and help others."

And even the liberal-leaning Washington Post reported that “in-person schooling has not been associated with substantial transmission in the wider community. Multiple studies found transmission rates inside schools are similar to, or lower than, levels in the community when mitigation steps are in place.”

A major Los Angeles teachers union demanded socialist healthcare, defunding the police, a wealth tax, and a ban on charter schools that compete with traditional public education before they would return to work. A North Carolina teachers union also demanded “Medicare for all” and more welfare for illegal immigrants before reopening schools. And a San Francisco teachers union even demanded the installation of new toilet lids before returning to work. (This demand had no basis in recommendations from public health authorities.)

Suffice it to say the teachers unions’ push to keep schools closed is fundamentally unjustified. And it’s wreaking havoc on an entire generation of students, and especially minority students.
