At risk of feeding a political debate ... JFC! Teachers are an absolutely vital pillar of the economy, both for preparing the next generation, and for freeing up the parents for full time work. Their inability to do their jobs right now is absolutely crippling the economy and amplifying they crisis tenfold. The virtualization of classrooms has already had effects that will be felt for years. And they’re seriously arguing for holding that up on the grounds that teachers are too white and well-off? Wow. The chronic underpayment of teachers looks almost trivial by comparisons.
