Keep in mind what one of the school board members had to say last night, after essentially being pressured by their lawyers into voting to get rid of the mandate. They had no regrets.
This is why, despite the fact that they dropped the mandates, I will not be going back to my former school district. They don't regret what they did, they won't admit it was wrong, they won't promise to not do it again. If that's going to be how it is, I want nothing to do with these people. I wish them luck finding another credentialed math teacher, I hear that they're easy to find these days.
No. I resigned from my school district in California in June of 2021. I knew these mandates were coming and I honestly hadn't been happy with the district since the day I started in 2016.
The threat of vaccine mandates was the last straw. I was pretty much on my way out since the day I started in 2016. First it was administration who wasn't even qualified to teach my subject hiring people who weren't qualified to teach my subject to tell me how to teach my subject. I was pretty much being coerced into running a classroom that I wouldn't want my own children in. Then along came CRT trainings and after the 2020 summer of love my coworkers started feeling more empowered to talk about how much they secretly hated my guts for my skin color and at that point I decided I was no way I would ever go back to in person teaching. Then the vaccines came out. So there is a multitude of reasons why I will never go back into a classroom, the vaccine mandates were just the cherry on top, and despite the very clear evidence that it was a bad idea they are still proud of what they did, which means that they will never go back on CRT or anything else that drove me out of the profession.
The precedence from this case will be binding on my lawsuit against my school district! E.D. Cal. 9th. Cir. 1:22-CV-01468. Use PACER to read my case :-)

Best wishes to you, are you a plaintiff in that case?
