Here's the uncut version for posterity, which manages to be even worse, if possible.
Why won't Dr. Henry follow the scientific consensus on the transmission of this virus, and mandate masks for kids in grades under 4?
#bced#bcpoli
I agree. Parents and others have warned for months that Dr. Henry isn't taking the safety of young children seriously.
Today, she offered irrefutable proof of that fact.
Quiet from teachers does not equal calmness. We are in survival mode and we feel the added weight of ensuring our students are safe as well. But its like herding cats. Masks need to be mandatory in classrooms for ALL ages. We all breathe. We all want to survive. #bced
Pretty sure you’re not really representing the majority here @terimooring. We are not calm.
To quote a colleague— saying we’re “stunned, shocked, resigned and scared” would be more truthful.
I would add betrayed.

SO much more we should be doing in #bced that employers are doing in EVERY other profession but ours:
1. Mandatory masks in large groups
2. Distancing in groups (read: smaller classes for proper spacing)
3. Upgraded ventilation
4. Plexiglass
5. Crowd control
Soooo, it’s raining today & guess where I have to eat my lunch?
In my car.
That’s right, #bced staff at many sites have nowhere safe to eat (a room that has been empty for at least 1 hr & is well ventilated).
The public needs to know: @jjhorgan ‘s “plan” is not working!
We look forward to a vibrant conversation with @marybowden of @SeraphBrass and Dave Dash - trumpet faculty at @UNCSchoolofArts! Join us on Sun. Oct. 18 at 2 PM (Pacific). Conversation will be available on YouTube shortly after. Sponsored by @tomleemusic and @WPC_Records.
Disappointing education platform by the NDP. They're still trying to take credit for the BCTF Supreme Court win as countless kids go without the supports they need and BC slips behind the rest of the country in funding and pay for its teachers. #bced#bcpoli
From a parent of a medically compromised #bced student: "No lesson plans, no assignments, no direct contact with teachers, nothing. No equity for students who can't attend school for medical reasons. No support socially, academically or otherwise. We are on our own out here."
Anyone else feel like the @bcliberals are like the kid running for student council offering ridiculous freebies to try and win? "Pizza Day Every Friday!" "No Homework!" "Soda Machines in Every Classroom!" #bcpoli
Furstenau: “A state of emergency at the start of the school year, with students and teachers worried about outbreaks in their classrooms, is not a time to leave the province without a minister of education.”
