If You Doubted They Could Make Compulsory “Education” Any Worse, You Underestimated Our Rulers

Mr. Anonymous writes, 

My (private) school released its reopening plan, and it is as awful as one would expect: temperature checks, forced masking at all times, lunch in the classrooms, no singing, no assemblies, excessive use of hand sanitizer, etc. I have spent years building relationships and programs at this school; the attachment is deep. The prospect of leaving my students and colleagues behind is frightening, but the thought of being a faceless enforcer of this evil is equally disturbing. Have you heard from any other teachers struggling with a similar decision? I am truly torn. Faculty meetings begin later this week, so time is running out. Prayers would be greatly appreciated. 

If any of you suffer a similar situation and wish to commiserate, or if you have advice for our friend, please write me. I’ll forward your notes to him; let me know whether to leave your name and email address intact.

Thanks so much.
