TALLAHASSEE — Florida reached its sixth straight day of 10,000-plus new coronavirus cases Monday as the state’s largest teachers unionover plans to reopen schools for in-person instruction next month.
In its lawsuit filed in Miami state circuit court, the Florida Education Association said the school reopening order violates the Florida Constitution, which requires that a “uniform, efficient, safe, secure and high quality system” of public schools exist. Joining the FEA in the lawsuit are several teachers, along with the NAACP state chapter and its national organization. Defendants are DeSantis, Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
Educators said schools should do what’s best for their own communities, rather than follow DeSantis and Corcoran, who they said appeared intent on meeting the goals of President Donald Trump and Education Commissioner Betsy DeVos, who want states to reopen traditional schools this fall. On Monday, at an appearance in Orlando, DeSantis was heckled by several protesters who yelled, “You’re lying to the public,” when it came to his daily updates on how the state was dealing with the virus.
Oooooh NOW Florida is concerned Lol ... oh those beaches in March tho.....
Teachers should be fired. Covid is better survival than the flu. Unions are killing education. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
The same goes for shooting at schools. You should stop teaching at schools and make WFH the only way forward.

You know what Covid-19 loves? - Lawyers America has shown little respect for the novel virus, which may have mutated since it was not dealt with immediately back in March/April. Invoking constitutional rights during pandemic is definition of suicidal madness.
This hysterical nonsense is being promoted by the same liberals who claim to love the poor and disenfranchised. Well I guess they hate Trump more than they love poor kids.
