This is a big video and it is how people increasing feel in my school district where kids haven't had a day of in-person classes since March https://www.facebook.com/officialbenshapiro/videos/2953396904891012/

I'm going to write on this soon, but a big part of the reason I rail against the ever evolving, increasingly desperate reasons people have for keeping things closed is b/c those arguments matter.

Those arguments are being used against kids and parents. They're used to oppress.

When I say "here's what the next argument against returning to normal" and then I lash out against it, it isn't b/c I want to thrust cautious people maskless into a wet market.

You do what you want, stay in your house until 2025, I truly do not give a fuck

But the arguments you advance are being used against us.

They're being used against my school district, which is desperate to open. It's being used against my kids, against my church, against the dying who can't have their family in the hospital.

Especially if you have kids in school, if you're going about a semi-normal life, you need to stop.

Take whatever precautions you deem appropriate for you and your family and shut the fuck up.

Because when you say something isn't safe, our school unions parrot that back at us.

We have been dealing with people who evolve their rationales for not opening on a week-by-week basis, abandoning one argument when it becomes outdated and instantly shifting to the next one.

There's always a new reason to impose these hardships on our families and kids.

Realize that, when you think you're making an academic argument for caution, you may mean "this is what I'm doing to reduce my risk" but what other people read is "this thing must be forced on all people at all times"

B/c trust me when I say that is what is happening right now

I am legitimately scared for one of my kids for reasons related to closed schools but not appropriate for twitter

I've never been this scared about my kids in my life
