Colorado District Forced to Cancel Classes After Nearly 1,500 Teachers Call In Sick to Protest Recently Elected Conservative School Board

[Elizabeth Theus]

Douglas County schools in Colorado were shut down on Thursday after nearly 1,500 teachers called in sick to protest the recently elected conservative school board.
The party that claims to be all about Democracy is now trying to overthrow the will of the voters.

The teachers took the day off to protest outside the school board building over the newly-elected conservatives voting to end the district’s mask mandate, amend the district’s equity policy and is ask the superintendent to quit or be fired.

The following day, the school board voted to oust superintendent Corey Wise, who had been employed by the district for 25 years.

An online petition to overthrow the will of the voters and recall the conservative school board members now has over 16,000 signatures. A formal recall would not be possible until the summer. Under the rules, a board member cannot be recalled until they have served for at least six months — and they were just elected in November.

I wonder............if all those who chose not to do their job can be fired?
If so, then MAKE IT SO!

That's like what the teachers in Rockingham County did when President Trump was elected. They were so upset that they called in sick. LOLOL snowflakes.

This is PROOF that so many teachers don't give a damn about their students any longer. So, pray tell....WHY did they become teachers to begin with?

they are not 'conservatives' ...........

they are conspiracy theory bullying cheating anti-vaxxers

......... Four new conservative-leaning board members turned over the board in the November election, pushed into office by a wave of parents and others opposed to masks in school. The board quickly eliminated the mask mandate, voted to change the district’s equity policy, and now appears poised to oust the district’s top leader, according to three members of the board of education...................

.............. The three board members detailed the events at a public meeting on Zoom Monday night. They said the private meeting violated Colorado’s open meetings law and that they were disturbed that there had been no prior discussion of any performance inadequacies on the part of Wise. ........

And yet your link doesn't even mention vaccines or vaccine mandates. Your desire to control the health decisions of others is pretty telling. Your obsession over my body is disgusting. These school board members were elected by parents to regain control of the health choices of their children. Would you also have government decide moral and religious values to be pushed onto kids against the values of parents?

If they refuse to do the peoples will than fire all of them - nobody will miss them other than working parents with kids in elementary school .Hire back teachers at half pay for 11months a year work to teach the elementary kids and If they think remote schooling is working  than go with 1 teacher per 10,000 student via teleprompter and give the savings by not having teacher payroll /pensions /expenses and pay for student college .
Whether the teachers or their unions agree with it or not it is the future and they will be gone because of their own greed .
Kids aren't learning ,teachers aren't teaching and unions are only interested in socialist programming .
