Northern California Record | February 20, 2022
Sarah Downey
“It is now the teachers’ unions that are influencing Governor Newsom and his administration to keep mask mandates in schools when those mandates are now relaxed for the rest of society. If school boards and state officials continue to do the bidding of the teachers’ unions rather than address the concerns of parents, then public education in California will continue to produce failure for the state’s children.
