Eric Adams Will Allow the Children to Go to School with Testing

Yesterday, Adams went to Concourse Village Elementary School. There he gave a speech that makes it clear his education policy is keeping schools open through the Omicron COVID variant. Adults are treated differently.

“We’re really excited about the opening of our schools, and we want to be extremely clear: the safest place for our children is in a school building. And we are going to keep our schools open, and ensure that our children are safe in a safe environment.”

At a later point in his remarks, Adams described how it’s better for kids to be in schools instead of on the streets and more vulnerable to crime. He also touched on the burden that remote learning placed on parents during the past few years.

The specifics are:

  • Home Test Kits: “Beginning January 3, schools will distribute free, take-home COVID-19 rapid test kits to any student or staff who exhibit COVID-like symptoms or have been in a classroom where a positive case has been identified.”
  • Students will have to take two COVID tests – one on the first day they get a test, and then one five days later – and will have to isolate and quarantine for ten days if they get a positive result on either one.
  • New Quarantine Policy: For all students, K through 12, even the unvaccinated don’t have to quarantine if they don’t show symptoms and don’t get a positive result from a COVID test (under the reporting system outlined above). However, kids younger than Kindergarten age will still have to quarantine for ten days.
  • Increased In-School Surveillance Testing: All students from the first grade and upwards will still be subjected to random “surveillance testing.” The only addition being added on to this aspect is that NYC schools are doubling their quota on tests conducted.

Adams doesn’t have the same consideration for adults whose careers are on the line. In those matters, he follows the De Blasio communist way.

Bogus test kits produced by the CCP and purchased by wholesalers to then be resold to George Soros’ accomplices and collaborators. Soros accomplices included Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Koger, Costco, Kohls, Macys, JCPenney, Amazon, BestBuy and numerous other ‘retailers’ in disguise.

The People who have bought into the Covid Hoax have destroyed yet another Generation of Children in America. SARS-Cov-2 was never much of a threat to children in school and that was clear by the early Summer of 2020. It wasn’t even a real threat to teachers in good health. It’s concerning that America’s Teachers can be so easily duped, but then the Academic Community is driven by the same cult thinking that dominates the Federal Government Deep State Bureaucrats. We need a complete overhaul of schooling in America. The present, failed public school system must be replaced with a Voucher System if America is to remain competitive. School Teachers are actually some of the dumbest people I run into. They are very good at regurgitating what they are taught by “the system”, but have little understanding of anything outside of the cult like academic community. My teenage daughter routinely comes to me asking why she has to learn something. After I explain how they “theory” is applied in the real world she understands the need to learn things like say trigonometry. She know understands that teachers are just book worms and wants to work for a year or two before going to college. I turned her on to Mike Rowe and Dirty Jobs and is now she’s thinking Trade School is the place to go. She’s been looking around and people like me, my Brother, my cousin, etc., all trades people, live better than people she knows with 4 year College Degrees. At 15, she has already realized that learning real skills is better than partying for 4 years in a College. While a College Degree might get you in the door, skills is what puts food on the table, unless you are lucky enough to get a Federal Government Job!
