We’re not being sarcastic when we ask this question: Won’t someone please think of the children?
Seriously, what’s happening in Fairfax County, Virginia, is insane:
The Fairfax County teacher’s union wants all public schools closed at least until August 2021. @FCPSSupt pic.twitter.com/CuLCXRCGOV

The Fairfax Education Association calls itself “the voice of Fairfax County Public Schools professionals” and is affiliated with the Virginia Education Association (VEA) and National Education Association (NEA), both of which are teachers unions.

It’s time to draw the line, all right. Because what the FEA is demanding is straight-up outrageous.
Crazy

As the science becomes more and more clear that schools are not vectors of spread, teacher's unions dig in. This is a scandal. https://t.co/H0ZwCONbM9

Citizens of Fairfax:
This is garbage and cannot stand. https://t.co/uNaZVXfpbO— Schültzie (@muffnbear) October 20, 2020
It should not stand.
Forever. Why go to work if you can get paid not to? https://t.co/FHDcrzNC1A

Give them an inch, and they’ll take a million miles.
Lots of good teachers out there, but I hope the lazy ones and union stooges enjoy their year off, I guess.

No, 4 half-days a week teaching remotely isn't busting it. Sorry. I'm sure it's challenging, etc. All that. But this lame effort isn't what families struggle to pay their property taxes for.

At this point, there’s only one thing that should be done:
Fire them all and return the money to the parents. https://t.co/YCfGiHYahj

Fine. But return the $20k per kid to families instead of holding them hostage. https://t.co/aFF8T21hcj

$20K per year per student.
That's what taxpayers are paying for these Zoom calls.
No schools, no funding. Return that money to the people from whom it was taken!
