This is the public education sector at its best.
Sharon Whitehurst, President of San Diego Unified Schools District suggested in an amazing statement that mask-wearing students should be banned from returning to school.
“They can opt not to return to the regular school but to go to the school where they don’t have to go to school at all other than via Zoom.”
The mask mandate is back @SDSchools students.
SDUSD President Sharon Whitehurst -Payne advises students to not return to school if they are uncomfortable with wearing masks.

Every time American citizens try to advance a discussion about school choice, the union shills and administrative tyrants start wailing that it’s nothing but a shallow attempt to defund public schools. Although they won’t answer the question about why offering choices would cause public schools to be closed, we do know that it is. Parents will leave public schools in large numbers if they allow the money to follow them. Most can’t compete with the flexibility and variety of private options. Not because public education doesn’t have enough cash flow, but because they don’t have enough respect for students and parents to compete for their attendance. They feel entitled. Ask Any parent…and I do mean any parent…regardless of political ideology, where they would send their child if they had 12 to 15,000 dollars in their pocket and they all already have an idea, and it’s never their public school.
Yet, the president of California’s largest school district is telling parents that their children will not be needed in school. This woman is bound to serve the public and tells the public that their discomfort and concerns are not important to her.
They feel this way about us. This is how the progressive left – a wing that has fully engulfed our public school system – views you, the citizen whom is legally entitled to public school services…as nothing more than mules carrying sacks of cash on your back. You can either get in line, or you can whip.
This is not a matter of disagreement about policy. I am tired of it. It is a moral dilemma that must be solved by moral people. People must be able to see that the children of our country are not a priority for most public school administrators. You need people who won’t just walk away from this absurd statement, believing they have no other recourse. You need a group of focused, determined citizens who refuse to accept such nonsense as normal.
This movement has begun, and it is thriving. Loudoun County’s parents established the standard for local governance. This November is expected to bring about a major shift in that direction. Shifting congressional power is often disappointingly ineffective in shifting the direction of the nation, but shifting the school boards of thousands of districts across the country – that could have monumental effects for decades to come.
We should be grateful to Whitehurst-Payne. They’ve been a clarion call and a clarifying presence. People are becoming more frustrated by double-talking and their carelessness. When someone opens their mouth like that, parents get more excited to play the role of the change agent and help make it happen.
The public school/union cabal is the Titanic…too big to maneuver quickly, and sinking fast. And it’s all their own fault.
