Reddick, 33, went on to talk about her family, including her 14-month old son, writing,"He will have a hole only a few children bear."
Reddick told NBC News in a phone interview on Saturday that she decided to write the obituary after reading stories of teachers who have contracted the virus and some who have died, including a"It was an overwhelming sadness," she said."It just stuck with me that, I may not pass away, but somebody is going to. To me, somebody who does something to serve their community and has a serving heart, I don't want to lose that person.
"I wanted to portray that sadness ... and being introspective and thinking about the choices that our lawmakers are making," she explained."I really wanted the gravity of their decisions to weigh." "As much as I feel strongly about the stance that I have taken, if students are returning to a face-to-face setting, I'm going to be there to make sure that they have the best possible education in the safest environment that I can provide," she said.
Well she should be fired
Try writing a resume if you don’t like teaching!!!
Ridiculous
She should stop shopping at the market or Amazon, because those workers are putting themselves on the lime. Finally, they should stop paying these people, let’s see how she feels if she has no income coming in. Shame on you teachers, you are all hypocrites!
Just don’t go to work then lady
You go to Walmart and Target come on.
Apparently she doesn’t want to teach anymore, how does she get her groceries and everything else she needs.... I’m a teacher and ready to go back to my kids. Any teacher that doesn’t want to teacher needs to find a new profession
She should not teach if she’s uncomfortable. The tail can’t wag the dog, which, unfortunately, it is now doing in the US.
If they don’t want to work- fire them. Imagine if doctors and nurses were too scared to work?
Let's Hope She Doesn't Be Using It No Time Soon.
Drama queen liberal. Wal Mart workers have worked through this entire scamdemic and none of them pulled this crap. Fire her and find a ne essential worker to do her job. Next.
Disgusting, and she calls herself a teacher?
Not to make light of the situation but it's made to distract from voter suppression. Do both! Voting places open, machines available? What work us currently being done? You know what has been happening so get started on this before it happens or it will be an egregious crime!
She should have saved time and penned her resignation letter instead. Don’t want to teach? That’s fine...McDonalds is hiring. She is essential just like every other worker out there facing the public daily. Get to work!!
She should seek “mental” help from a social worker! She has definitely bought in to all your daily NBC HATE/PROPAGANDA GARBAGE NARRATIVE!!! 🤪
Mental health is a big problem
Teacher Whitney Reddick of Jacksonville, Florida... simple solution... quit your job.
So quit
She needs to get her a55 to work seeing the same kids day in and day out and STFU unlike all the other fast food workers who literally see thousands of different people weekly and aren't 61tch1ng.
Quit, Whitney.
She has to be a Democrat.
All the doctors and nurses who have been on the front lines for 4 months extend their condolences buttercup.
'''❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'''
Most Karen yet.
Tuck Frump and everyone who has enabled and empowered him!In less than 4 years, you turned America into a shithole. Story of your life. DumpTrump2020 TrumpIsLosing TrumpVirus
ALL TEACHERS SHOULD PREPARE AND ALL SCHOOLS SHOULD REQIIRE MASKS FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF SCHOOL !!
Now write a mock resignation letter.
Talking crazy eyes.
Prayers
But did she get her amazon package in 2 days or less?
Here’s hoping she doesn’t need it...
From the moment this started I knew America was in trouble. It was just because we have a lunatic in charge. I knew we were in trouble because of the average American self serving selfish attitude and there would be too many unwilling to do what’s right to benefit everyone 🤨.
Design a website tutor kids online so much an hour over course of a 50 kids $50 per kid Public education a disaster for parents kids math science steuctured thinking
Fire them, return my taxes, let me find a much better quality private school.
Enough of the hyperbole. This Study involved 20,000 students in 100 institutions.
America has no conscience and is nothing more than a sociopath trying to justify why it's okay to have lost its moral high ground.
No need to stay home and apply for unemployment like everyone else.
Her gov. is an acolyte of the *POTUS and the two of them have ‘mandated’ school opening without a plan, funding or PPE. Everyone wants to get back to normal. Only half are willing to make an effort toward that goal. Orange Elvis has moved on to other things. She should worry.
Autoobituary is now officially a literature art form.
Actually, that's a good idea! I'm going to do this right away! The world is sick of me so I might as well be prepared.
Me Me Me Me
Defund lazy teachers
Can I wrote one also? Make it a competition . . .
Peak stupidity
Very sad that teachers are being put in this situation. But our leadership has failed us so miserably by putting their own selfish & unscrupulous needs before those of many Americans.... causing the virus to only spread worse & more people to die.
Resignation accepted!
Adapting lesson plans for use in the tome of COVID would be a better use of her time, perhaps.
Does she have a preexisting condition? Or a compromised immune system? Because her chances of dying without one of those is very, very, very small ... no worse than any other flu season.
Wow .now teachers are putting their life on the line. So school can be open. RIP ?😇🙏
It's pathetic how the Florida teacher that is supposed to help students think for themselves can't think for herself. She could have found that her risk of dying from the corinavirus is less than her chance of dying in school is less then dying when crossing a street.
Wise move indeed.
We're mocking her too so we're on the same page.
It is said 338.000 children are infected with this Virus and arent immun !!!!! childremarenotimmunagainstCoronavirus
If you want your low quality image turn into high quality vector Dm me now
She will not die as a result of Coronavirus but her death will be in the wake of love
I pray that her wish be realised today. Amen
Why cant she actually get wat she is wishing for today.
Miley Cyrus / August 14th / CHECK BIO
Wow. What a bunch of complainers here. You going to keep your kids home forever? Life goes on. They need all the education they can get. CBCNews
Florida had over 45k new cases last week and an average of 18% positivity. On Saturday, Florida had 187 COVID deaths, 4th highest per capita and an average of one death every 8 minutes. Florida should darn well get its act together before returning to in-person instruction!
Thank the president of the divided states of America and and the governor of Florida
That’s a little dramatic... 😂😂😂
You failed to mention her twitter bio which holds her out to be an activist and Marxist BLM supporter. She’s a biased hack and yet you failed miserably in reporting this fact. Because you don’t have journalists and NBC. You have activists.
Stop with this rubbish!
As with a large portion of Americans no one prepares for their passing and leaves a huge mess for loved ones to clean up, she could get run over by a truck crossing street or get COVID-19 virus, no one knows exactly when or how we're going to die! Way to prepare for future!
I'm guessing she's a liberal.
Just quit then if you think you're going to die
Drama. Queen. The rest of us that work with the public still go to work. Every day. I don’t expect to sit home and get paid, I don’t have a choice. Neither does my husband who works at Costco. Same with doctors, nurses dentists etc. She needs to get over herself.
Are you kidding me? A checkout person at Publix interacts with 100 times more people EVERY day than a teacher. Are teachers less essential than grocery employees?
She can find a new job
Can you randomly take life insurance policies out on teachers ?
1. Florida Teacher will now become a meme next to Florida Man and Woman 2. The article doesn't even say if it is an English teacher doing the composition writing.
She’s a real coward .. when the rest of the country is stepping up to the plate for her 🧐
Wtf is wrong with her? Absolutely doesn't care about kids going to school. Wants more stay at home vacation. Kids don't die from cv19.duh!
Nurses and frontliners are everyday faced with COVID. We follow strict guidelines and it can be done. If you want to stay home and don't go anywhere, you might just die at home.
Can you imagine the martyr-signaling in that obituary?! 🙄
Protect yourself, mask, goggles or face shield. Frequent disinfection. Schools are now open in different countries with strict guidelines.
Not good! Never tempt fate!
She has to be a Democrat.
California has almost twice as many people than Florida yet Florida has just under 30,000 less cases of the trump virus than California. If you need to blame somebody, it appears that it would be deadbeat donald trump, the coward and desantis the idiot.
She doesn’t have to go back to work if she is that scared this is China yet
Unemployment is more lucrative.
Stay home then
What a drama queen. Quit if you are afraid to go to work.
What they should do is secure a lawyer and make sure they sue the state if she gets sick, just so their family have money for burial, services & the debts they will incurr on health care. ABC CBSNews CNN MSNBC CNBC FoxFriendsFirst
Stay the hell home then!
Normal people just shake their heads
Maybe all essential workers need to write their own obits. Quit your job, stop taking advantage of our taxpayer dollars. Those cashiers kept you from going hungry, they never bitched.
And this is national news why?
First things first.. That's what is owed the American people.. Look, here's the deal., I'm confident of it.. This ignored New Hampshire primary, was a steady p roblem, and one - - not why that times powerful lives right affordable, set this folks as president, I w
Teachers are going to regret this. Parents will adjust to distance learning and home schooling and won't send their kids back to public school. No school shootings, no bullies, no indoctrination. I see teacher layoffs coming.
Good for her
Then this is literally a joke and shouldn’t be covered by a major news network
I’m not going to specify any particular Republicans because they’re all buffoons, making kids return to school with no plans in place. Your kid/grandkids should be at the front of the line on the FirstDay of schoolsreopening.
Then the children won't be able to write an obituary. Because they won't be able to write.
She should be fired immediately...
This is NOT the kind of person who should be education children.
Nurses everywhere
Ignorance is a Bliss!!!
Why do the rest of us have to work?
Yet I've never missed a day of work since the Chicom Flu started. So.e of us are more essential than others.
👍👍👍
Stop paying teachers if they do not do the jobs they are paid to do...
She has a better chance dying in a car wreck on the way to school. Scary she is a teacher...
SHE SHOULD BE ERASED as a VOTER!
Teachers are more afraid of the Coronavirus than some of the bad ass kids they have to put up with?!😶
Get ur ass to work or resign!
Hmm. What can be learned from daycares who never shut down? 🤔
Childish.
So defund teacher then!
Maybe she can do check out at the store instead. Quit your job and hide. Very simple. You have no business teaching children.
The schools will be cleaner than the grocery stores you visited. In fact once all water fountains are finally eliminated in schools, we may eradicate strep!
It's shot like this that makes me feel people take the fear of this virus too far. Yes 150,000 people died. That sounds like a lot but considering the number of the population it really isn't a lot
A tad self indulgent. Stay home forever I guess.
She could just resign instead.
She can gfh
🤤
Not dramatic
RIP dramatic teacher.
Lmao 😂
Obituaries are meant for the dead. And she needs to go to work.
She should stay at home instead of grabbing her five minutes of fame. The rest of us teachers are ready to go to the classroom and do our jobs. If Walmart can do it, so can we.
Hope she reads it to the clerks at the grocery store
Coward
WHY ? MODI, BJP, ETC. CHEATED HINDU MANDATE FROM YEARS 2014, 2019 TO TILL DATE. & NOT ENACTED UCC OF HINDU LAW, NOT TAKEN POK, NOT THROWN OUT ROHINGYAS JAI MATA DI ! BHARAT BHAKT, DATED 09-08-2020
Nutball.
She sure showed them. What an idiot
She's probably dumping some of her aliases... Q -Did you know aliases are legal to use unless you use them for illicit gain?
We do not and never have lived in a risk free society. I can understand the hesitation however myself and so many others are not given the benefit of choosing not to go back to work , while being paid in full. I love our teachers but everyone else is in same boat
You'll survive....work on a plan
She should resign and never leave her house again. Just to make sure she never gets sick.
Oh the drama...
So stay home... it’s America
As always, the comments don't disappoint. Congratulations, NBC for having a huge following that never ever once reads the article.
Excellent...reimburse the taxpayers!!!!!!
There is freedom of choice but the risk to make wrong choices is possible, make the right choice by accepting Jesus today!!!
