Sorry Tony, I am not convinced by Mr. Parmenter's discussion. His point: "walking into some kind of giant experiment that’s going to end with people losing their lives because we made the wrong decision" is very telling. Teachers are not at risk of dying from Covid. Teachers who have compromised immune systems can be shifted to virtual for the kids who choose not to attend. The teachers go to Walmart, Harris Teeter and restaurants and expect the employees of those stores to serve them. Many other Charlotteans go to work every day during these times with no option to stay home. We expect teachers to do the same. Also, your interview completely missed the outlandish left wing demands many teachers are making as conditions to return. How long are we willing to hide in our homes to avoid life?
