Chicago Teacher Says White People Are Killing Black Families With In-Person Schooling
In an essay titled "Are We Going to Let 'Nice White Parents' Kill Black and Brown Families?" Chicago public school teacher Mike Friedberg attempted to make the argument that the push by “white parents” to open schools is going to kill teachers and minority families.
"As the reopening debate gets hotter, we are seeing a new breed of 'nice white parents' emerge. The parents who wished to open school buildings are disproportionately white. In meeting after meeting, I have witnessed black and Latinx parents voice concerns,” wrote Friedberg.
"Here in Chicago, I have spoken with scores of teachers who do not have adequate HVAC systems in their building. Some teachers were given air purifiers that only cover 500 square feet, vastly smaller than most classrooms,” continued Friedberg. “If we open schools in communities with higher positivity rates, especially when those schools are not adequately supplied with protective measures, the risk to staff, students, and families is much higher."
"As a teacher, I fear for my own life and the lives of my students and their families. I can't teach from the grave, nor can kids learn from there. If we do not speak up, nice white parents will get us killed,” Friedberg concluded.
