Being in my classroom all day is the most dangerous thing I've ever done. I don't have MAGA students, but I do have a classroom that is 100% inner city black youth who refuse to wear masks and refuse to be vaccinated. They cannot be suspended because the Office of Civil Rights will breathe down our necks about the suspension rate of African-American youth. Our school is 100% African-American. If you were trying to spread the Delta variant in a school, you could not come up with a better plan than this. My students have guns too, just not the legal variety. I have begun to see what else there is out there for jobs. I can't say with any certainty that I will survive this year otherwise.
