Parents Enraged As Teachers Force 5 year Olds To Eat In Near Freezing Temperatures.

This is cruel to force on little kids. Teachers in many states are trying to enforce the six-foot rule and are forcing kids to eat their lunches in 40-degree weather. So kids are being forced to eat in the cold because teachers are afraid of COVID. Parents in many cases were not aware of this practice and when they found out were more than a little upset.

“I am beyond furious, especially knowing children are low-risk,” they said. “Governor Brown maskless in DC this weekend was the last straw.” That’s correct — Kate Brown, the very liberal governor of Oregon, was seen maskless at an indoor event in Washington D.C. a few days ago despite having recently ordered a mask mandate for all indoor spaces in her home state. She’s such a hard-ass about restrictions that she ordered an *outdoor* mask mandate in August despite the mountain of evidence that transmission hardly ever happens outside.

It’s impossible to reconcile her risk calculus in D.C. with the risk calculus that requires five-year-olds to eat their baloney sandwiches with their coats on in 40-degree weather.”

And this is happening across the country.

“It’s happening in NYC too. “It’s getting a little ridiculous at this point,” said one Manhattan mom to the New York Post of her child’s school. “They’ve eaten outdoors every day this week. It’s cold.” Another mother in Brooklyn said, “We’ve heard no plans to bring them inside anytime soon. In fact, they are still asking for parents to give the school their Fresh Direct bags to create seating pads. It doesn’t sound like they’re going in.” When the Post inquired with the city Department of Education, they were told that kids can eat indoors if they choose. That was news to the parents interviewed for the story.”

If this was spring, summer, or even early fall it would be more understandable, as the weather is nice, and who cares at that point it’s an extended recess. But to force kids out in the cold over their own COVID fears, and then lie and say they had the kids had the choice to eat inside, is B.S.
