L.A. also. Both San Diego and Los Angeles school districts lost for forced vax as unconstitutional.

That it is. But sad that they didn't lose because it's stupid and dangerous.

If only that mattered :-(

The West Coast is now the Worst Coast... Daaaaamn. But I hope AngrySenior means the jab mandate was unConstitutional...

Yes, oddly enough, same Judge reversed himself. It IS unconstitutional.

Here's the ruling from a web site: https://elamerican.com/judge-strikes-down-l-a-schools-vaccine-mandate-as-illegal-blocks-it-from-segregating-kids-into-independent-study/

NO local news reported this at all yesterday, when the decision came down at about 3:00 p.m. I haven't had time to look today. Major local L.A. station still didn't as of 24 hours later. (KTLA)

Since so many police are leaving due to the forced Jabberwocky, I propose we repurpose that glut of idle 'teachers' to don the blue and hit the streets. They can coach violent criminals the ins & outs of proper pronoun usage.

Is that Jabberwocky or jabberwacky?

It all seems rather wacky to me

Jab = Jabberwocky = nonsense words = Covid narrative

This is just something I'm having fun with I guess... if you haven't read this in a while, here you go:

Jabberwocky

BY LEWIS CARROLL

тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

тАЬBeware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!тАЭ

He took his vorpal sword in hand;

Long time the manxome foe he soughtтАФ

So rested he by the Tumtum tree

And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

тАЬAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!тАЭ

He chortled in his joy.

тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

Great idea. And because they're enlightened, they won't need weapons.

That's what they've been teaching our kids - right?

Good idea. And people like me that are good teachers but didn't want to get into the soul crush of the Teaching Industrial Complex can take over now...

Wait, the jab cannot be forced, right?

It is being forced. There's many forms of coercion. Some folks are able to resist. For some the "choice" is take it or lose your job and/or not be allowed to work at all in the field. That is pretty much my situation, indirectly: no jabs, no travel. No travel, no making a buck the way I make bucks.

I could have said no, and found a completely different way to make a living. So that was a choice. But not one anyone should be forced to make IMO.

I agree with you. And I also think that no one should be kicked out of their housing (shelter and safety) without extreme need to do so. AND nobody should be coerced into choosing between an unlawful mandate(s) and having a source of income.

It still can. Over 40,000 soldiers are about to be kicked out of the military.

Really? I hope so. My extremely woke friend who canтАЩt wait for everlasting boosters lives there. I wonder if it will wake her up a bit.

So has California. Remember the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Very few were homeless, and then, concentrated around "The Nickel" - 5th street downtown. Now, they're everywhere. Garcetti during his first election said he'd "look into it" and the count then was between 28 and 30k. Now it's over 80k.

I live across the Sound. I don't go over there no mo. And I lived in the Bay Area... that went to shit, too. I'm just sick of the SHITTY-NESS, I want a Sunshiney Day for a change, metaphysically speaking.

Seattle Public Schools' enrollment dip to cause $28 million loss in state funding

It's supposed to be even worse for the upcoming year affecting 2023-24, though I can't find the article I recently read on the subject. :/

Edit: Here we go!

https://www.seattletimes.com/education-lab/student-enrollment-in-seattle-continues-to-drop-heres-what-it-means/

Seattle Public Schools is projecting its lowest enrollment numbers for the 2022-23 school year since at least 2015.

In the last two years, Seattle had a 6.4% enrollment drop, Berge said, almost double the stateтАЩs 3.4% decline.

Clearly they're afraid of SPS's inability to protect their children from COVID, and that's why they're pulling their kids.

I'm not convinced that Inslee and/or Seattle won't try to mandate the vax to attend school now that it's 'approved'. He's already mandated boosters for state workers.

NYC has already done it.

In CA here, I don't trust any elected official, other than 2 in the CA Assembly who filed a lawsuit against Newsom ...and WON. He was supposed to eliminate his "State of Emergency" but as of July 4th 2022 - DAY 840 of his "emergency" and the a-hole went to Montana to see his wife's family and vacation - despite the fact that CA banned State funded travel to "racist" states.
