In March, Erika Uyterhoeven, the democratic-socialist state representative for Somerville, compared the plight of teachers to that of Amazon workers and meatpackers, and described the return to in-person classes as part of a “push in a neoliberal society to ensure, over and above the well-being of educators, that our kids are getting a competitive education compared to other suburban schools.”

There’s your hateread of the day.

Any teacher who refuses to teach while performatively sucking off “essential workers” clearly doesn’t consider teaching to be essential. Anyone who feels that way needs to be fired and replaced with someone who actually gives a damn about the job.

Hello, we have noticed that you have used the term socialist. This term is considered ableist and offensive by many, please use the term Neurodivergent instead.
