They established a partnership with a neighboring school board to maintain remote options, confirmed the in school ASHRAE specifications, and put a proper sized HEPA air filter in my child's class.

Small wins are possible.

I threatened to sue my children's school board (in Ontario) as well as the superintendents personally to maintain remote learning options, and for a safe in class learning environment.

The grounds were based on their legal obligation to provide a safe learning environment and Canadian human rights

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."
