Really concerning to me that an anti-mask group just met saying they need to bring Knox County Schools to a halt (to applause) and asked folks to block the entrances to schools with their cars-including not letting school buses in. This is not a group that cares about kids.
It seems that KCS will be closed tomorrow “To give our schools time to prepare and comply with a federal judge's order requiring masks, Knox County Schools will be closed on Monday, Sept. 27, 2021.” See what happens when you create these monsters, you get to deal w/them.
Well sadly, our kids and teachers get to deal with them.

THREAD👇🏼Hello all, hope all is well in your world! I spent much of the day today talking with parents and teachers, folks are nervous about school and safety as some took to social media to make threats and action plans that made parents and school staff nervous.
I think those threats & such are being taken seriously and I hope folks search their better angels and make different choices from what they have said online. If this is really about our kids and what you think is safe for them, then truly think of the kids...and not just yours.
Should adults be taking their grown up political battles to the schoolhouse doors? Should they be sending their kids in with instructions to ignore school rules? Sending the kids in to fight their adult battles? I don't think so myself.

Word on the street is that some state leaders are just itching to pass some new legislation that will end up getting overturned by the courts. Apparently losing court battles is a fetish for some, stay tuned. #whoknew
Newer word, sanity may prevail, it’s early to say though😉
Newest word is there are likely going to be some unhappy folks.

THREAD👇: OK folks, time to take a deep breath. Let's talk about masks and schools as an East TN federal judge issued an injunction regarding Gov. Lee's banning of a mask mandate on Friday. I'm going to try to relate some facts for folks.
If you refuse to take the action required by a judges injunction, you can be found in contempt of court and fined or imprisoned.
If you think a judge can't rule on an action by the legislative or executive branch--well then, you must have missed that whole part of the CONSTITUTION where the FOUNDING FATHERS proposed a government where power was...

I don’t know who needs to hear this…oh sure I do, listen up TN GOP.
How the U.S. Government Is Organized:

The Constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches to make sure no individual or group will have too much power:
Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate)
Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies)

Facebook asked what is on my mind. By now, everyone (in Knoxville) should know what’s on my mind-Knox County Schools lost a bus driver and a teacher to COVID yesterday-they were both in special ed, which is an extra stab in my heart. It didn’t have to happen.
I spent last night looking at the teacher’s Facebook page. Obviously a fun and loving woman loved by many. Peace to her and her family. I’m not saying her name as I don’t know if it’s public yet, I know they wanted to tell her students this morning.
I did the same for posts I could find about Tammy, the bus driver. She had 3 kids and 5 grandkids I’m told, and no insurance. There was a go fund me for her someone shared. Peace to her and her family as well. gofundme.com/f/aw2b8-help-t…

If @KnoxSchools COVID-19 numbers are true, then private/home school kids have an infection rate ~3,129.80% higher than public school kids. This is blatantly unbelievable from statistical and common sense perspectives. @usedgov and @CivilRights should investigate.
Glad to see that KCS admitted their inaccurate #s. How do we trust folks in a pandemic when they aren’t transparent with data. A whole lot of folks were using the bad faith data posted by KCS to downplay the situation. bit.ly/3trcmo9
If they only have a limited portion of the data, that needs to be noted. Educated people should know better than to mislead the public. They have already lost the public trust with no mitigation-now they have taken it further.
