Yesterday DESE Commissioner Jeff Riley announced that the Baker administration would be doing what they should’ve done in August – told every public school system in Massachusetts that they need to fully reopen 5 days a week. Closing schools for an entire year in order to cower to the selfish, cowardly, pathetic, lazy fraudulent teacher’s union (MTA) will go down as one of the great injustices of our times. Children everywhere are suffering from mental health issues with an increase in ER visits for children, teen suicide rates have skyrocketed, the number of students failing classes skyrocketed, an estimated 250,000 cases of child abuse and neglect have gone unreported as a result of school closures, and black and brown students along with students living in poverty have been disproportionately hurt by school closures. Remote learning is not learning; it’s child abuse. It’s also racist and has done nothing to stop the spread of the virus. I discussed this at length on the live show last night (subscribe to our YouTube channel by clicking here)
Finally yesterday the same government that closed every small business in the commonwealth with a snap of the finger did something about reopening schools. Every district in this state must be fully reopened by April if they are doing hybrid right now, and be at least hybrid if they are full remote now (20% of school districts are remote). This shouldn’t be a problem because schools are not high transmission areas, the CDC says schools are safe to fully reopen, and the 6 feet rule has been reduced to 3 because everything is made up as we go along anyway.
"There is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen and that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely," says CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. https://t.co/odskuush0R

“The insistence on 6 feet was controversial from the start. One of the early skeptics was physician Rochelle Walensky, who was recently appointed to lead the CDC. She advised her local school district last summer that ‘it is quite safe and much more practical to be at 3 feet’…” https://t.co/vIDQQ2SwcT

The reply from Harvard’s chief of infectious disease was clear:
“I do think if people are masked it is quite safe and much more practical to be at 3 feet. I think this is very viable for the middle/high schools and even late grade schools and would improve the feasibility."

If school districts continue to do remote learning those hours will not count towards the number of hours needed for the school year to count, so they have no choice. It effectively removes the local school boards and the unions from the process. This could’ve been done in August, but first there was an election to win.
You know this is a good thing based on who is upset by it.
Another surprise announcement without any consultation from school districts and municipalities. Educational and municipal leaders were forced to develop their own plans for how to safely and sustainably open schools because DESE failed to do so. @massupt @MASCSchoolComm https://t.co/3i7aBbRVUL

MTA President Merrie Najimy is slamming the state’s plan to bring all elementary school students back to classrooms for in-person learning by April, saying the focus should instead be on vaccinating educators.
Posted by Massachusetts Teachers Association on Tuesday, February 23, 2021
If Merrie Najimy and the MTA are against it then it’s probably a good thing. My child’s mental health and right to a real education matters more than her irrational fear of a virus.
But perhaps the hottest take on this new announcement came from Worcester School Committee member Tracy Novick. We’ve written about this legendary Turtleboy villain dozens of times. We overthrew her from the School Committee in the 2015 elections, only to see her get back on in 2019. She is the most insufferable white woman on the planet, lives in a property tax free home on the Worcester/Holden line, tweets all day long like she’s some sort of relevant person who matters, sued the city so junkies could panhandle, and has suddenly become a raging social justice warrior now that it’s cool (despite never being one before).
Yesterday she had a lot to say about schools reopening, and according to her it’s only because white people are “complaining” that their kids can’t go to school.
Stupid white people! Why can’t they just quit their jobs, stay at home with their kids in a tax free home, and watch their children suffer from mental illness? Everyone knows that only white people like sending their kids to school. According to Tracy black and brown kids HATE school, and their parents don’t value education. Sounds pretty racist.
She was also upset that a doctor said during public testimony in front of DESE that we have to change our mindset when it comes to risk tolerance. Of course Tracy pointed out that the doctor was only saying this because she was white, not because she was a doctor or a parent.
But of course we should change our mindset on risk tolerance. Schools aren’t high transmission areas, so the risk is minimal. If you get the virus there’s a 99.9% chance you’ll survive. Those most at risk are eligible for the vaccine, and those who have not received it are in low risk groups. If there was a 10% chance you’d die from a virus then schools would remain closed. If there’s a 0.001% chance then schools should open.
She then went on to say that opening schools was white privilege.
The white woman from the white part of Worcester who has been preventing black and brown kids from getting an education is here to lecture you about white privilege. And this comment was incredible:
Sending children to school is murder. Racially motivated murder. So that white people can live “comfortable lifestyle” by sending kids to school.
Imagine ever taking a person like Jean Powers seriously? Don’t. They’re not serious people and everything they say on everything should be disregarded, laughed at, and mocked.
Finally Tracy said that allowing some kids to do school remotely and some kids to go to school in person would be “inequitable,” which seems to be an admittance that a remote education and an in-person education are not equal.
She’s right. Black and brown kids in Lawrence, Worcester, and Boston have been getting screwed over by their teachers while white kids in Middleton and Hanover get to go to school. That’s not equality, it’s racism, and it’s being pushed by people like Tracy Novick. The fact that they’re upset by it means that this is a great thing for people who want their kids to go to school.

I like the idea, but unfortunately covid is fake. she’d be right if she had said, the radical right likes abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods.
Maybe they can learn to code
FUCK THE MTA, fire these marxist cocksuckers.
This woman is a nutcase. She is also a racist.
The teachers union is using the pandemic as a way to hold us hostage in order to make changes to our society that would never happen through legislation during normal times. They should all be fired. Private schools are open. Grocery stores are open. What would happen if a cashier at the grocery store said she didn’t feel safe going into work? She would be fired.
I do agree that if we continue with remote learning, we will no longer need the staffing and the physical structures that are required for in-person learning, which means that much of the staff could be let go and buildings and equipment could be sold to help fund other projects, but the money would probably go to some useless cause, such as helping our children explore other genders by having guys wear dresses.
If Internet-based remote learning is working out so well, then its time to fire all the teachers and outsource the remote learning offshore. If a teacher can deliver a remote learning session from his or her home in Worcester or wherever, then it can be just as easily delivered from Bangalore India for much less money. The same companies that provide offshore computer programmers who work remotely over the Internet, such as Accenture or Infosys, could also provide offshore remote learning instructors for a fraction of the cost of an American teacher. These companies provide a computer systems engineer for something on the order of $3,000 to $5,000 per year. An Indian school teacher could probably be had for half that amount. Imagine the impact to your town’s budget if you only had to pay teachers $2,500 or so per year. Think of what having more money available for other things would allow us to do for the children! Our adversaries believe that no crisis should go to waste. Let’s use this manufactured crisis to break the Massachusetts Teacher’s Association. Just sayin’…
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 508 754-5697
I am going to caption the article photo where she’s wearing the Professor Plum pants suit:
“You see, you see…what a douchebag I am?”
**shrugs** my kid goes to private school and there’s a shit ton of different _________ (is ethnicities considered racist now?) ethnicities in the parking lot at drop off….so…..
Just saying! It’s mentally unstable crooked hacks like you that are ruining life for the rest of us.
ill send you my tuition bill asshole.
Oh shit!
She’s on to us.
This could blow the whole racial genocide plan.
Quick hide the covid.
500,000 people die from heart disease alone each year… where’s the public outcry to ban fast food joints to save the unhealthy and obese from their poor choices?
Don’t forget Becky… heart disease is also higher in African-Americans.
Fast food restaurants and companies that manufacture anything with high fructose corn syrup are racist and trying to kill African-Americans.
You missed the mark completely on this one. The blm crew already said it is racist for a Dr. To tell blacks to lose weight. Especially if they are big boned black women. Telling a large black women to lose weight is making her feel ashamed of her black body type.
Drs. Tell anyone who has a bmi over 25 to lose weight but l8ke everything thst holdd a black individual accountable for their own actions like excessive chicken wing consumption is racist.
Drove next to a lady with Biden stickers on her car at a red light. Rolled down my window and yelled “Mortgage rates and gas prices are going up. Thanks for voting for Biden asshole.”
Made my day.
Why Biden won explained in one picture.
Newsflash: Public education has never been about education for about 40 years now. Ditto with university education. Push unqualified kids into college where they have to take more “remedial” courses at ever-increasing cost.
Then when idiots are in six-figure debt in their early 20’s, sell them a load of bullshit that “the rich” should fund their education or pay off their debts, and they might only have to pay a little for a life of security.
It’s a cash cow designed to create a permanent serf class, and these idiots are taking the fucking bait like mindless carp.
This is your public school system now – completely overrun by White-hating, self-loathing, racist anti-American Assholes who in the end couldn’t care less whether or not any kid can read or write. You got two clear choices as a parent – 1) Continue to put up with this never-changing travesty, or 2) Homeschool your kid or enroll them in Private schooling beginning next September.
Wow, if that isn’t a “didn’t think you’d shoot it on my tits” reaction I don’t know what is.
sadly for him, Tracy Novick’s husband has survived throwing himself in front of a bus 4 times in the last 2yrs.
Tracy please stand in the middle of the mass pike , you ugly cunt
she’s a filthy animal with an affinity for young girls
You were just a waste of sperm
The way you look makes my stomach turn
The way you think is no way at all
God, you really think that you got balls
I hate you
I hate you true
I hate you
And everything you do
You walk around like a fucking dick
And every time you’re near, you know I get real sick
You’re so stupid, there’s nothing in your head
God, I really wish that you were dead
I hate you
I hate you true
I hate you
And everything you do
Ahh another oldie but goodie. When i get the urge to kick random people in the face in tune in to SLAYER.
I’m sorry
For something that I didn’t do
Lynched somebody
But I don’t know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
Guilty of being white
Guilty of being white
Guilty of being white
Guilty of being white
Best song ever! Check out the cover by slayer or the original by minor threat…
Ian Mackaye is the Man
If they had been able to cut the teacher’s pay by $5/ week for remote learning they would have been back in the classroom in August.
Can we get a ST blog please.This school/teacher thing has been beaten to death…
I think there for I am (white)
Therefore I must be ( racist)
I think therefore I must be I think
Therefore I am ( racist)
Ok I am now indoctrinated . Are you happy now.
Do you know what kills black kids other black kids
I clearly see nothing wrong with that. Go Boons
Imagine being dumb enough to eat up so much race baiting propaganda that you make the conscious decision to take to social media and vent about how much you hate your own race and begin blaming everything you don’t like on racism and white privilege.
These people don’t have the mental capacity to bag groceries let along be in charge of anything
Send that cunt back to India
The country is finished
You have corrupt senile old cocksucket who shits his pants on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and a n!gger prostitute running the country
What could go wrong
In my town, 51% of property tax goes directly towards education, and as an older person with no school age children; I’m fine with that. What is not ok is these teachers preaching race, gender and sexuality to little kids. My niece who is in 4th grade said i am bad because I have a TRUMP sticker on my car. She said her teacher (south shore) told the class ….All the penguin’s are going to die because Donald Trump doesn’t care about climate change.
These asshole teachers should be fired.
I knew her when she was Tracy OConnel when she was in high school
Sure she’s as ugly as a barrel full of assholes with the good ones picked out
But she really knew how to suck a cock
Tracy Nodick….she’s all lick
God damn you, evil patriarchy!
Of course….the ugly ones always do.
And don’t you think for one minute she won’t be LOVING reciting this comment section tonight while dressed up in her woodchuck costume during her weekly peg sesh with ol’ Colin (wearing a Black Panther outfit).
This psychotic shrew shouldn’t be employed anywhere.
These people are very mentally ill.
I’m sorry for my first post, I didn’t describe these people’s properly.
These people are sick in the head.
The illegal lockdown/lockout has killed more children of color than covid ever will.
Lady out be fired for being so stoopid. But she’s she’s queen of the stoopids, so it won’t ever happen so long as the stoopids are in control.
Tracy Novick is a RACIST!
MTA President is a RACIST!
Teachers destroy lives
All students fear teachers!
White teachers are inherently racists!
Kids not doing well in school happens because they fear teachers!
Teachers should be subjects of reform!
No Strike clauses in all Teacher Contracts!
Teachers lack oversight and accountability, we need more regulation!
We need a Teacher Certification board comprised of civilian non educators who review, suspend, revoke and issue licenses of teachers, with racial bias being a component of their certification, demonstrate racial bias you lose your certificate!
Teachers should be banned from referencing color in students and comments and should only be allowed to use “student.”
Grades given by teachers to students should be reported and compiled to assess racial bias!
Here is the chain of ideas that the SJWs have:
– schools prepare kids
– these kids are going to work
– blacks and browns don’t work
– school attendance is racist
And the SJWs call us racist because we want all kids given a chance to succeed.
Wait till those fools with the Ma teachers association find out there is a bill at the state house that will give those state workers who worked during the pandemic three years toward the retirement. Those workers such as teachers who worked at home are not eligible.
Vinny…. they always win. Too large and powerful. Teachers have a 5, again a fucking 5 yr, deal at the state house as well. Can’t make it up. Bottom of the barrel .
Where do I go to get that juicy plum. I know I’ll start “the Church of the contrite honky” My sermons will all start w an apology for the lack of melanin in my skin and end w my bowing down before a group of MS13 gangbangers.
I was so privileged I got to join the Marine Corps on my 18th birthday, I will gladly trade my white privilege card for a race card any day,
No. Just no. This is clearly a ploy by the working class to force everyone back into merit-based systems which every statistical measure proves produce disparate outcomes. The only way that we can all be equal is if we all stay home and do nothing.
I say open the schools I already created a system to kill black children
I am so sick and tired of these white self hating LAZY fucking bitches. Get your fat asses back to the class room or LEARN TO CODE you malingering cunts!
Tracy Novick Says That White Privilege Parents Only Want Schools To Open So That Black Children Can Be Murdered By COVID. The head line says it all.
After reading this blog post I am convinced that these teachers are either 1) union scumbags or 2) have some type of sever mental illness.
They can all go fuck themselves and need to be fired Reagan style with the Air Traffic assholes.
DJT would do it. Commie Biden will not.
We need a Reagan style fucking throw down. Will it happen? Probably not under Biden.
Fuck this bitch. I am so tired of these miserable, ugly, hairy cunted SJWs telling me I’m a horrible person because I have to go to work and I want my kid in school full time.
Also, does she not realize that by saying whites do not care about the Brown and Black children, that she is basically stating most brown and black parents do not work? Although 83.7% true, that doesn’t make hard working white parents, that care about the mental health of their children, RACIST!
If we don’t work, who is going to pay the taxes to feed, shelter and clothe the unables? How about that Tracey Nova-bitch! How about you go live down on S. Main for a while and tell me how you feel after a week?
Fuck SJWs…Fuck the word racist…Fuck the cancel culture…and fuck the left.
“I base all of my beliefs and positions on a persons race but you’re the racist” This cunt (and everyone who agrees with cuntface).
Emails? Gentle reminders need to be sent. Well not so gentle anymore…As a respectable White person I am getting sick of this shit!
Well, I’m a little motiviated thsi morning so:
tracy “at” tracynovick . org
This woman can’t possibly believe this rhetoric. I mean that. She can’t be that ignorant, evil and sincere about this stuff. She clearly is bored, hasn’t been laid in years and has no hobbies, interests or passions to keep her mind occupied. So she runs to social media in order to show everyone how woke and embarrassed about being white she has become.
This woman is mentally ill, self-loathing and histrionic. Last orgasm she had was likely years ago when worked the vacuum cleaner on her vag. Ugh
Are you fucking shitting me??? Stupid Racist Bitch.
They need to make it a crime to FALSLY accuse someone of racism. The most over used and incorrectly used word in the English language.
Fuckin’ evicted neighbor tried bringin a colored gal over to stay on my couch. I said well I ain’t fuckin’ racist. I own a colored tv. He smoked up all my weed again and tried givin the ole lady a back rub so I made that mutha fucker sleep on the front porch. Wont put up with that fuckin shit.
Novick’s statement is 100% racist and she should be demanded to step down…she does not represent the best interests of families and children, irrespective of race. She is global warming.
I have never been motivated enough to directly reply or respond directly to one of these people you show us.
Please tell me someone has an email of even a phone number to text this 100% bitch.
I am fucking sick of hearing You are white and that makes you a racist. FUCK YOU
… from a fucking white woke racist cunt!
I’m sorry I’m white. (Does that make me sound woke?)
SJW Suburban white women that are post mental-pause are the most racist members of society. They rightfully hate themselves but take it out on the rest of society.
Fuck these tired old hags. Hope they were first in line for the depopulation shot.
Tracy O’Connell-Novick is not post-menopausal…she just looks it.
No doubt due to her uber-cuck husband Colin spending more time in the Tatnuck woods sticking his pecker in tree knots than in her.
Nice skull and crossbones patch on the jacket- does that designate you as one of the oven workers?
If people still don’t understand the underlying purpose of the school issue allow me to clear it up for you.
Biden, Commie Harris, and the rest of the white woke morons have successfully opened the borders allowing thousands to flood in where they will be granted citizenship, and, therefore, become beholden to the left in exchange for their votes. You want free medical, dental, rent, food, housing, transportation, phone, internet, and full protection from deportation? Then you MUST vote for the left. It is of the utmost importance for the white woke to do their part in creating a generation of stupid and unemployable kids further strengthening their voter base. We have already been indoctrinated into socialism, rapidly sliding into Marxism, and the goal of Communism is within their grasp.
Holy Shit! Every time one of these fucking imbeciles open their mouth it gets worse. Note to ALL you fucking warped fucking libtards. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT BLACK / WHITE or Whatever!
They see EVERYTHING IN BLACK AND WHITE and its getting fucking annoying.
Couldn’t this all be solved by just vaccinating all teachers?
I would support letting the fraud teachers be first in line for the experimental depopulation shot that doesn’t prevent you from getting or spreading Covid1984.
It will be solved once the layoffs begin, and only then.
Watch every election, no matter how small, these people must be removed from power.
My body my choice.
