Mask mandates for teachers and students has become a contentious issue across the country, particularly in Texas and Florida where Govs. Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis have adamantly opposed some Covid-19 measures.and with cities and municipalities in his own state, promising to fight any local mask mandates or lockdowns.

"I did talk to Gov. Abbott, and I spoke to the commissioner in Florida," Cardona said. "We need to work together to make sure our schools are safe for all students and for our staff.” As for teachers, Cardona said it would be “helpful” if they were vaccinated, reporting that 90 percent of teachers across the country have already been vaccinated.

This era we all are into, is called the world control system of govt. They tell where to go, when to open schools, market and so on. This is the time it has come

When you come to a fork in the road, pick it up.

Yogi Berra: 'When you come to a fork in the road, take it.'

What fork? To kill off kids or not. Where the f are we as the human race!

Why in CA no mandatory student testing, temp checks or precaution? All that’s being done is masks and honor system.

Honestly I don’t have small children but if I did I wouldn’t want my children going to school until this pandemic was over! They are too young to lose their lives to Covid-19., they have no idea how the world revolves!I would find a way to get them educated..

Require all staff to be vaccinated. No excuses. Are they allowed to work without Measles or Polio vaccines? Is it your job to educate by example?

Well Kamala and Biden told us NOT to get the vaccine

I didn’t see education in the constitution, must have missed it.

Results of the Reagan, GW Bush, & Trump tax cuts. Between 1989 and 2021: Top 1% = plus 8.7%. Next 9% = plus 0.3%. Remaining 90% = minus 9.0%. The 9% in today's dollars = $11.65 Trillion. Isn't wealth distribution upward also socialism? Source: Federal Reserve

Literally don't reopen and there won't be a plague annihilating the poor kids.

Yeah this isn’t going to go well.
