Pariah Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Lady P and the kids attended her friend's funeral today. I wasn't able to go due to impending end-of-quarter stuff, but I watched on Zoom. That was better than nothing. I wish he hadn't been so tragically misled by all of those people he should have been able to trust. I wish there weren't so many people so passionately committed to the lies that are keeping us from ending this stupid [REDACTED] pandemic once and for all.

Take that back. What's surprising is that this is the first such I've heard of, altho admittedly that's not saying a whole lot. I like the suit, in that there's no mention of damages, so the parent's not doing it for money or vengeance. Nope...just a mask requirement. Not sure if I'd rather the parents win...or the school board settles before trial and passes the order themselves. That'd render the case moot, I think, so...no trial, no argument, no decision. Long term, the best situation would be to win at trial and at least start some precedence momentum, but for the kids in that district, it'd clearly be better to get a mask order up ASAP.

MIAMI (WSVN) - A Miami school that made headlines for saying it would penalize teachers who got the COVID-19 vaccine is now requiring students who get vaccinated to remain home for 30 days after each dose. Parents of students at the Centner Academy recently received a letter from its Chief Operating Officer that read in part, “…if you are considering the vaccine for your Centner Academy student(s), we ask that you hold off until the Summer when there will be time for the potential transmission or shedding onto others to decrease.” The letter also spelled out a quarantine rule for parents who still choose to vaccinate their children. “Because of the potential impact on other students and our school community, vaccinated students will need to stay at home for 30 days post-vaccination for each dose and booster they receive and may return to school after 30 days as long as the student is healthy and symptom-free.” Centner Academy first made headlines in April when the school’s owners told their staff to hold off on getting vaccinated. “We’re not telling teachers that they can’t get [the vaccine], we’re just simply asking that they hold off a little bit,” said Joshua Hills, a parent and Centner Academy employee, back in April.

unclevlad Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 From Newsweek: Quote The school defended the policy, writing: "Centner Academy's top priorities are our students' well-being and their safety within our educational environment." If that was the case, then they'd require teachers and staff to be vaccinated. This has nothing to do with the students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 The entire administration of a private school not only spreading disinformation, but enacting policy which will have exactly the opposite effect of its stated intent.

This is the education for their children that parents are paying extra money for. We sent our kids to private schools, but thankfully with less-asinine rules related to vaccinations and other Covid precautions. Once vaccines became available they were strongly encouraged (though not mandated). Any kids displaying Covid symptoms were required to self quarantine for 14 days. One such kid came to a Clay Targets shooting event anyway, and once he was spotted by the head coach, was sent home as fast as we could get a parent there to get him. He also got a good chewing-out, and oh boy was it a doozy since the coach is also a retired drill instructor. Matt the Bruins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may well get burned by this policy. They're located in Miami. https://covidactnow.org/us/florida-fl/county/miami_dade_county/?s=24401354 Almost 75% fully vaccinated; approaching 90% has received at least one dose. The area apparently had a horrific summer; the peak on August 15th was nightmarishly high. But it's dropped down massively since. One of the local Miami TV stations had a story where they reported Quote The parents Local 10 News spoke with who said they had children enrolled at the school last year said Monday they have already pulled them out and enrolled them in different schools this academic school year. That said, there are no sound conclusions to be drawn just from that...biased sample? How many? Lying by omission...was it all the parents or just some? In a similar vein, they tried to talk to the owners/founders; a time was set, and the founders didn't show. Again...more than one interpretation possible. Lots of smoke there, tho.

tkdguy Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 It hasn't even been a full day since Colin Powell has passed away from complications of COVID19, and Fox News is already using his death to spread misinformation about vaccines. This is what CNN anchor Don Lemon had to say about that. Meanwhile, Michael Gunner, Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory had some choice words for Senator Ted Cruz.

A report from a congressional investigation, excerpts from which were viewed by The New York Times ahead of its scheduled release this week, also recommends criminal charges against 69 other people, including three of Mr. Bolsonaro’s sons and numerous current and former government officials.
