This is one of the worst stories I’ve ever read:
San Francisco files suit to reopen schools, citing high suicide rates among children
The number of suicidal children in San Francisco has hit a record high and health experts say it is clear that keeping public schools closed “is catalyzing a mental health crisis among school-aged children,” according to a lawsuit the city filed Thursday to push its school district to reopen classrooms.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera announced last week he was taking the dramatic step of suing the city’s own school district, which has kept its classrooms closed nearly a year. In the motion filed Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court, Herrera included alarming testimony from hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area, doctors and parents on the emotional and mental harms of extended distance learning.
One mother, Allison Arieff, said she had recently found her 15-year-old daughter “curled up in a fetal position, crying, next to her laptop at 11 a.m.” Arieff said her daughter often cries in the middle of the day out of frustration and “is losing faith not just in SFUSD but in the world.”
Another mother, Lindsay Sink, has seen a “major regression” in her 7-year-old son who has “uncontrollable meltdowns that turn (the) whole house upside down.” Sink’s 10-year-old daughter is experiencing “depression and anger” and she fears her daughter’s “mental health will continue to suffer” until in-person learning resumes.
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital has seen a 66% increase in the number of suicidal children in the emergency room, and a 75% increase in youth who required hospitalization for mental health services, the lawsuit said, quoting pediatricians, child psychiatrists and emergency room doctors.
Record high suicides and suicidality among children because of the lockdowns.
The City Attorney is suing to open the schools because the teacher’s union has not agreed to reopen the schools to in-person teaching until they have completed their shakedown of the school system for money and vaccines.
Remember, President Joe Biden is backing the teacher’s unions over the students.
There is no evidence of coronavirus spread in schools. Even the CDC said it was safe for teachers to teach in person without the vaccine because of the low rate of child transmission before Biden got involved.
Individual teachers can say that all they want to do is help the children, but clearly, the union is willing to watch thousands of children suffer and commit or attempt to commit suicide just so they can cash out in negotiations.
I honestly can’t understand why parents are not driving killdozers through school board meetings at this point.
It feels like a variation of the supposed way Russians reacted to the terrorist actions of the secret police: “If only Comrade Stalin knew about this, we wouldn’t be having this”.
If you’re dumb enough to vote for these people, it isn’t surprising that you’re dumb enough to be still waiting for them to fix things, rather than understanding that they are the problem and need to be replaced ASAP.
This is one reason why we are homeschooling. (The other is the hard leftists propaganda the schools spew now)
