Imagine deriding and trying to shame public school educators as if they're being selfish when they let us know they have a right to protect themselves from airborne disease while also serving our children. What's behind it?

Have been all three. Police work and soldiering were cakewalks compared to a public school classroom.

Them: we have to wear masks again 😔
