My family is right now in the middle of losing our very way of life due to the medical fascism from our governor. We have family in health care and in education and child care. Jab mandate announcement just dropped impacting both of those areas.
We remain committed to our principles, but shit is going to get very tough very soon. We will fight if we have to. We just want to be free and love God. Please pray. This state gov sucks, but this is our home. We will not flee.
I'm numb as well. While I should be excited about setting up my classroom for classes next week, I'm kinda paralyzed at the moment vacillating between fear, resolve, depression, rinse repeat. It's like living in a dystopian nightmare around here. I am stunned by the zombies that surround us. I had no idea there were so many!!
Breathe. Put one foot ahead of you and take a step. Repeat.
The teachers need to organize and protest this - I feel for you though, uphill battles for sure.
Uphill is an understatement. Patriot teachers in WA are among the most besieged of any profession--particularly west of the mountains.
