Teachers at Washoe County School District, where I used to teach, are terrified about returning to work next week.

Despite Washoe County's infection rate being far higher than what is safe for schools to reopen, the Board has decided to go through with it anyway.

This is what happens when teachers have no real protections or real unions.

So much for Trump thinking Kamala Harris is a nasty woman.  She is so nasty, Trump and daughter Ivanka gave money to her campaign for attorney general of California.
