but we'll keep sticking our heads in the sand
sending kids into superspreading schools
without any protective measures in place
No case counting, contact tracing, outbreak management testing, proper isolation, masking, CO2 monitoring, upgraded ventilation/filtration

Our most vulnerable children, with medical illnesses, suffered the most during the pandemic. Children with heart disease, respiratory disease, neurologic diseases, and chromosomal abnormalities suffered more severe symptoms than did children without those conditions.

COVID-19 deaths created 300,000 American orphans, 330,000 if we count "primary caregivers" and 380,000 if we count "secondary caregivers". That's a lot of childhood harm.
2x as common for Black kids
4x as common for Indigenous kids
1.6X as common for Hispanic kids

Correcting revisionist history:
"COVID is not a problem for young people in the US"
Covid responsible (not "with", underlying cause) for 2% of all deaths <20. That's 1 out of every 50 deaths of all kids who die. #1 in infectious diseases, 5th in disease overall.

Ontario’s COVID Testing Eligibility …are OUT of STEP with ALL other infectious diseases
A young, otherwise well person with bilateral lung infiltrates on her chest X-ray would NOT qualify for testing
Come again???

Just to reiterate what disabled people have been saying: the push against masking was always about surveillance.
You literally just said that you use grades to incentivize and disincentivize behaviour.
If the “reality” you wish to give students an accurate understanding of is that of your perception, then sure.
You perceive some behaviour as the correct (or legitimate) way to build and demonstrate knowledge, and others as the incorrect (or illegitimate) way to do so.
You then give out lower grades to those whose ways of knowing don’t come into view (to you) as legitimate.

The “inclusion” rhetoric of on-site academic conferences where the vast majority of participants are choosing to not mask is utter bullshit.
But the organizations know this. The members know this.
I just don’t want to hear their analysis and critiques of hegemonic harms. ☠️
