Parents across California are protesting outside district offices, circulating petitions and dialing into school board meetings with a fury never before seen in the blue state

to pay for electronic billboards declaring "MISSING: ALL CA STUDENTS."

Parents who want to see schools reopen have another concern: differentiating themselves from conservatives and Covid-19 deniers who have called for schools to stay open since the pandemic hit. California’s anti-vaccine movement has overlapped with anti-maskers and coronavirus conspiracy theorists who are also vocal about reopening schools, causing a messaging problem for parents now mobilizing to safely reopen schools.

Newsom’s proposal set less stringent requirements and would’ve pushed elementary schools to open by February at 25 daily cases per 100,000. The Legislature’s plan sets the goal at April 15. Last week, the governor declared he would reject the bill written by fellow Democrats. "We would be, if we adopted that proposal, an extreme outlier," Newsom said.

Like teachers, parents are far from a monolith. Surveys have shown that Black and Latino families are less likely to return their children to classrooms, citing higher virus death rates and a distrust in the school system.

It’s about time.

These parents are Former Guy followers who could care less kids and all about him. This same group travels all over the state trying to get what they can’t at the ballot box.

Parents missing their free day care. Get the teachers and staff vaccinated first

One thing to keep in mind is there are groups of parents traveling around and protesting in schools their kids don’t even attend! Are your writers aware of this? How many of these “parents” have a different agenda than students? Ask yourself why they would go to other districts.

RICH PARENTS across California. Corrected that for you.

There have been successful public school reopenings else where. I'm not sure why these can't be used as a model along with CDC guidelines. The key is it takes some time.

California’s largest school districts have had trouble executing a myriad of less complex plans to improve school behavior, provide better English Language Development, provide technology training to teachers, and develop better administrators. Opening during a pandemic? No.

Kids don’t understand dying

Governors and Mayors in every state have caused this problem. Also Trump because he had zero vaccine plan. So basically that's been 1 year down the toilet because Teachers were not put on an essential list and no one thought about them. Very sad.

Teachers ARE essential workers and should have already been vaccinated .Seems every state in our country has forgotten about vaccinating Teachers. If I was a Teacher and I was not vaccinated I would NOT go back to work yet.

You gonna do anything about MarcACaputo?

🙄sigh...

This is the state where they renamed a school named after Lincoln
