Tuition to get indoctrinated, theyre allowed to return in the spring Jed over to you, Jedediah the nations largest school district, preparing to get back in the classroom later this month, part of the agreement between New York City and the teachers union calls for covid testing for staff here. To explain is here to explain: is New York, Post columnist, Carol Markowicz? I was concerned about parental rights about this. Can you decision into this last minute addition from the demand of the unions, part of the reason they stuck it in there to not have to open schools, because it is such an absurd thing to do to have the tests in school without parents present? This is not. Let me be clear. It is not producing a testify test results from the childs

pediatrician, which I think a lot of parents would be. Okay with this is random testing at random time at schools with no parent present. I just dont think it will fly with parents Jedediah what happens Carol if a staff, member or parent doesnt want to comply with this? Is there a consequence for them? They say they will not be able to attend. I think that the question of lets say a staff member versus a student is different. A grownup and adult can give consent to be tested at random time in school. I dont think a child can give that kind of consent. I dont you have a arrangement where a parent rushes to to school for a supervised test. I think that is a nonstarter. This is the way to make sure schools dont open a continue, all delaying of schools, the union fighting to go all virtual having pushback from parents, so I think it is just a method of making sure schools dont open, Jedediah yeah.

We know that is delayed now until September 21st. That has just been announced. What do you say to those on the other side? You know what this is a measure being put in place because it is necessary in order to keep staff members and kids safe. We have no choice. Your response to that this measure makes no sense to keep everybody safe, because it is random. It has nothing to do with symptoms and not universal. I would be much more for the idea that everybody who comes into the school building produce as negative test result, maybe once every two weeks or so that makes a lot more sense to me. In general, though, children very rarely contract the virus. If you look at numbers all over the world, look at numbers in many places where schools have opened. It is just not that common. They really dont spread it. What were really should be doing is focusing on the adults in the building and having them get tested regularly to make sure theyre not positive and not passing it to each other Jedediah. You know the sentiment

seems to express to me is a distrust of the people being honest about what is going on seems to me. If you have to randomly test youre saying we dont, necessarily trust parents. To be honest with us, we dont necessarily trust staff. We dont trust the process. That is a problem, because this will relies on some level of trust right. I think the larger problem to me all around the way the schools last were not having a conversation about a lot of other things that have opened nail. Salons are open, bars are open, as I say in the column, american cities all across the country, decided to keep schools closed its a backwards process where schools are last, so I would be willing to have the conversations about how we can maintain the trust and how we can test how we can keep everybody safe, but schools have to be open. It has to be priority number one Jedediah. Thank you for being here important to note. No one will

care more about their childrens safety than these children parents. They want their kids to be safe. It is their children it. I will was priority for them much more than a priority for anyone, anyone else who will come in randomly test them. Of course the parents prioritize the health of their own.
