While Schools Open From Wuhan To Stockholm, California Shuts Theirs Down

Gov. Gavin Newsom made what may go down as the biggest public policy blunder in California history last Friday when he essentially ordered schools in most of the state to close their doors for the fall semester.

Newsom’s order requires schools within counties on the “Monitoring List” to remain completely closed. The list is determined not by coronavirus cases among children, but by increases in the number of overall infections per 100,000 people, changes in the rate of hospitalization, and increases in positive test results, among other factors. For counties where students are permitted to return to school, all children in third grade and above will be required to wear masks, while children 2 years old through second grade will be “strongly encouraged” to do so.

They might as well name California, Covidlandia, because that is what it us. (And Michigan can be Whitmer’s World)

The answer? Homeschool. I think many parents are realizing this now.

Schools, like public safety, are just another service the government fails to provide successfully (or at all), despite the huge taxes people pay.

Given the sorry state of California schools, ‘twould appear to improve student’s abilities by shutting the sordid institutions down.

While they are at it, they can fire the LA teachers. All of them.

” biggest public policy blunder in California history”

Not even close.

Public school is by no means essential to anything.

Actually, shutting down the California schools might be the best thing that could happen to the children!

It’s much harder for Marxist educators to indoctrinate the young skulls full of mush online. We all know this is about politics. Democrats are willing to destroy the country to get the White House back! GRUESOM and CUOMOB know that by keeping California and New York shut down that will affect the entire country.

The “high” speed rail folks are asking if Bay Area needs a 30 min. connection between SF an San Jose. Meanwhile Muni is broke as ridership approaches zero.
