The Florida Education Association, which represents 140,000 school employees, says the plan to reopen schools violates the state constitution.

Earlier this month, Corcoran issued an executive order requiring that all schools open in August for five days a week for families who want their children to attend in-person classes, even ascases in the state continue to surge. Families have the option of participating in remote learning if they prefer.

“Reopening schools in the middle of a COVID-19 resurgence, and without the proper plan, resources, and safety precautions will inevitably exacerbate the spread of the virus, jeopardize public health, and ultimately cause longer closures,” says the lawsuit. Even though Florida families will be given an option of whether to attend school in person or online, staff will still have to report to the building to keep it operational,and the health of the students they serve at risk. The lawsuit also says that districts do not have the funds to implement proper safety precautions.

The nation’s two major teachers unions, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, support the lawsuit.

Every time I see him, I just wonder what kind of grades he earned in school or college, if he went. He carries one of the most clueless looking countenances I've ever seen.

Teachers union sues Florida to halt in-class school re-opening amid pandemicThe Florida Education Association, which represents teachers in the state, filed suit against the state on Monday, claiming the planned restart of classroom instruction next month during the pandemic would jeopardize the health of its members and students. If the teachers do not wish to work, fire them! The unions are corrupt and little more than a tool for bankrupt agendas. This kind of crap betrays the true priorities of many teachers and more so of the unions and politicians who support this selfish neglect of children. Time for union busting. Just like the flight controllers in the 1980s. Watch this one go to the Supreme Court and have five justices sentence children and teachers to death
