I applaud the bravery of this public school teacher who discussed many of the problems created by the COVID lockdowns. But the question that arises for me is what else could any of us do? Had we been at war, schools would also have closed but no alternative could occur. And we were at war, but with a virus.

So, for future reference, how could the lives of teachers, administrators, and students be protected while still offering quality education?

The pandemic response article shows the borderline criminality of the crazy teachers unions in certain urban school districts. Most don't know this, but until the late 1960s, most politicians of both parties were opposed to collective bargaining rights and the right to strike on the part of public employees. Once that change happened in the 1970s, local and state politicians ceased to represent voters. They now represent the unions.
