Kimmy is trying to kill us
Fucking ugh
Gov. Kim Reynolds announced today that she would override local school districts and require students to spend at least half of their education time in classrooms despite concerns the move could endanger children and teachers as the number of coronavirus cases increase in the state.
Reynolds' decision will invalidate plans implemented by some districts, including Des Moines, the state's largest school system, to limit in-person classes to one day per week for most students with online learning on other days. The governor's actions are in line with the fervent recommendations of President Donald Trump, who has said it's essential that students return to classrooms despite surging numbers of virus cases in much of the country.
"One of the most important milestones in our recovery effort is getting Iowa students back to school," Reynolds said at a news conference this morning. "And while we all know this school year will be different than ever before, it's critical that we prioritize bringing Iowa's children back to the classroom safely and responsibly."
If I had a child there is no fucking way in hell he or she would be going back at this point. I'd homeschool them before that happened.
