As things continue to devolve, I am again re-pinning this thread I did 2 years ago when I realized I was the target of a right-wing information attack. This is relevant as Jack Posobiac and other online agitators continue to conspire with elected leaders to dismantle democracy.
I have recently realized I was the target of an information attack. As a “lifelong learner” I am still coming to understand what all that means. I have been following

As a parent who has received one of these letters, I can tell you all they do is create fear. They go out automatically, even when I have called the school to explain family circumstances for excused absences. They cause harm to families that are already under duress.

It is not a coincidence that the people who banned The 1619 Project from schools (one of the very first books targeted by anti-CRT legislation) also promote “merit”.
The same SF folks championing “merit” also target Black self-determination via reparations and equity policies.
@rasmansa
They cannot even fathom that the most pervasive affirmative action in this country has been -- and I'd argue likely remains-- for white men and for in-network hiring. Or, that affirmative action has came about BECAUSE the merit of Black people was NOT considered.

Studies show 40% of cases are asymptomatic. This means asking about symptoms or taking temperatures mean nothing — It's all about the testing. Without proper ventilation, PPE and space for physical distancing, schools cannot protect staff, students & their families from

Long before the official case count began to climb, the virus was freewheeling. Federal officials grappling with a shortage of test kits issued narrow testing criteria; that meant key local spreaders in the state were going unnoticed and untraced.

I’ve been talking about ventilation lately, but this Swiss cheese model reminds me of other actions we can take. Students need access to weekly, predictable testing that isn’t reliant on their family’s ability to drive or access the Internet.
The solutions have been with us for a very long time:
-
#MaskUp
- Improve air movement ("ventilation"; take it outside!)
- Get vaccinated (stops hospitalizations, and stops the spread)
- Support our healthcare staff, including the nurses and techs.
