'You want to keep wearing masks, go ahead,” says KIRONewsradio's John Curley.
“How did they do this without getting the teachers’ union involved?” KIRO Newsradio’s John Curley asked. “… It was last week or something we heard from the teachers union that they wanted to keep the masks on, [concerned it would] disrupt the normalcy of having the mask on. What an upside down world we live in where wearing a mask is normal. They wanted to keep it on because it would be too disruptive for the students to all the sudden have the masks taken off now.
“The union response is not happy at all,” Shari summarized. “They say: ‘We are deeply disappointed by Seattle Public Schools’ masking announcement today which is completely contrary to its prior statements and commitments to its educators and the community and it is in violation of our contractual MOU with the district.'”John says the state teachers’ union has a lot of power.
“This whole thing is so ridiculous, it’s laughable. I like the fact that they take the masks off. You want to keep wearing them, go ahead,” he said.John commends the superintendent for making the decision to end the mask mandate. “Whoever made the decision, way to stand up for just a rational idea that a kid doesn’t need to wear a mask in school,” he said. “If the teachers want to wear one, go ahead if you’re so concerned for your safety.”
