@MayorBowser@DCPSChancellor@DCist@OSSEDC - this is my sister's hospital (she's a Covid ICU doctor) https://t.co/GzZWSnLF6s . You are purposely endangering our children under 12, families and communities. SHAME ON YOU! SAFE SCHOOLS AND A VIRTUAL OPTION!! DO THE RIGHT THING!!
"I'm no child psychiatrist but I'm pretty sure losing a parent to Covid is as stressful and traumatic, if not more so!, as being unable to go to school in person."
My #minirant on Covid, kids, and mental health/school closures:
"Even school, which seemed like a hopeful and sensibly calculated risk in May, she said, now feels “like an incredibly dangerous roll of the dice.”

@POTUS@FLOTUS - please stand up, help and care for our teachers, children, families, medical community. Full unprepared classrooms in DCPS is a child and community endangerment policy.
Fellow parent Shelley Brown & I sent this letter to DC leaders re our experience (both of
us had children test positive from COVID in 1st 2wks of school), what we learned & recommendations on how DC can do better. We all must work together to beat COVID https://t.co/aZDjrQpYzx
@MayorBowser@DCPSChancellor@POTUS@FLOTUS a "to the extent possible" covid plan in our schools is a child and community endangerment plan. This is why we were forced to home school - we believe in doing the right thing for our children, medical teams and community. Your turn.
@POTUS@FLOTUS this is what you are promoting by not speaking up for our children to the @MayorBowser@DCPSChancellor. We have no faith that the Mayor Chancellor, and DCPS has any interest or capacity to keep our children, their teachers and staff safe on a good day.
@FLOTUS and @POTUS sadly, many more of us have lost faith in @MayorBowser@DCPSChancellor. To protect our children and community, we were forced to home school due to DCPS "to the extent possible" plan. Covid outbreaks across DCPS, as expected with our children elbow to elbow.
@WhiteHouse "Knowing our kids are in an environment we can trust"-
@FLOTUS This should be true for all parents in all public schools. We've lost trust in @MayorBowser & @DCPSChancellor https://t.co/ZPqjK4OdPC
@MayorBowser@DCPSChancellor, we generously invite you to our school for the lunch hour!!! Tuesday next week work for you? Will send an invite by email.
does anybody really think that @MayorBowser or @DCPSChancellor would sit and eat lunch indoors unmasked with 100s of unvaccinated people 5 days a week?
then why is @dcpublicschools making our children do it? virtual options until vaccinations are available is prudent.
@dcpublicschools what is your actual problem? Teacher here with Covid symptoms. Can’t get a test until Saturday so I’m out until then. If you actually tested your staff- this could be cleared up. This is our 3rd week in your buildings! Pretend to care
@MurielBowser looking forward to mobilizing to vote you out. Standing with you @DJoseph31, DCPS parents and teachers in protection of our children, medical teams and community.
@BernieUpstateNY We are looking at legal options against the DC Mayor and Chancellor - child endangerment and negligence. Anyone interested in joining?
My DCPS student came home from school today & reported students were not allowed outside to eat lunch & classrooms were as full as before covid. Staff & kids are scared.
If this is a plan to destroy DCPS, @MayorBowser@ChmnMendelson@DCPSChancellor@DMEforDC, it's working.
