@NC_Governor Keep schools online until there's a vaccine. You know this pandemic is disproportionately affecting BIPOC, and opening schools will widen the gap. Students, staff, families, and communities are not expendable. @ncae @WesleyHarrisNC @JeffJacksonNC
@NC_Governor Have you mandated virtual learning yet? Teachers are making wills and designating legal guardians for their own children. Stop drafting us into your war.
Hey @NC_Governor @ncdhhs How well can grieving teachers teach? How well can grieving students learn? Keep us virtual until it's safe!
@NC_Governor @ncdhhs Will you cover funeral costs for COVID-related deaths of school staff, students, and their families this fall?
@NC_Governor I marched in Raleigh two years ago when you told us you cared about teachers. You looked out at a sea of red and said you cared about education. Yet, you still haven't mandated #virtualuntilsafe. @ncae @ncdhhs
@NCSenateDems @NCDemParty @nchousedems @nchospitals We know that most infected people are most contagious BEFORE the onset of symptoms. @NC_Governor needs to mandate #virtualuntilsafe for schools now.

@NC_Governor @WesleyHarrisNC @JeffJacksonNC Children are not going to social distance effectively in classrooms. Show you care about our students, our staff, and all our families by mandating virtual learning until it's safe. #virtualuntilsafe
FYI, "Hospitalizations have been down three days in a row," but it's also been three days since hospitals were commanded to send COVID-19 data to the White House instead of the CDC. It's not safe. @NC_Governor @NCSenateDems @nchousedems It's time to mandate virtual schooling.

@NC_Governor Where is the mandate for virtual learning? My friends are asking me to quit my job before the school year starts. I shouldn't have to choose between teaching and life. #virtualuntilsafe
And @NC_Governor @NCSenateDems @NCDemParty @nchousedems @ncdhhs Can we talk about the racial implications of Plan B? It's definitely white-centered.
Because of hundreds of years of systemic racism, white families are more likely to have the wealth, resources, flexibility, and awareness to choose virtual learning for their kids. They also have better access to healthcare if they do want to send their kids in person.
This is going to hit minority communities the hardest. We can teach kids what they missed when there is a vaccine. #virtualuntilsafe
@NC_Governor @NCSenateDems @nchousedems @ncdhhs I recognize the good you are doing in many areas. It's time to do right by educators and students - mandate #virtualuntilsafe to protect our state.
@NC_Governor @NCSenateDems @ncdhhs @nchousedems @NCDemParty We are still waiting to hear you mandate #virtualuntil safe for our public schools. Lives are on the line. Do the right thing.
@UCPSNC @CharMeckSchools As some of NC's largest systems, you can put pressure on the state to mandate #virtualuntilsafe. Do the right thing to keep our students, staff, families, and communities safe!
