"I am a high school honors English teacher in northern California, and I am on administrative leave, in the process of being fired due to the California vaccine mandate.
"Let me explain how I got here and why I’m willing to be fired over this.
"Governor Newsom announced a vaccine mandate on October 1st for all public and private school-age children in California; without the shot, they will be denied in-person learning. Once FDA approved (likely in January for ages 12 and up), educators must either take the shot or be fired, regardless of whether or not they’ve recovered from Covid already, regardless of whether or not they have natural immunity.
"Newsom’s one-size-fits-all mandate is discriminatory and ignores the authoritative science behind natural immunity. When I heard about the mandate, it greatly disturbed me.
"I was already disturbed by the discriminatory policies that were enacted throughout California seemingly designed to coerce children to take the vaccine. For example, in California, if a student tests positive for Covid, all students seated within six (6) feet are contact traced. If they have taken the vaccine and have no Covid symptoms, they get to stay in class, clubs, and sports. If they don’t have the vaccine — even if they have already recovered from Covid and even if they also have no Covid symptoms — they are forced to do distance learning for 10 days. This can happen multiple times throughout the school year." . . .
