UFT said the DOE doesn\u2019t have the evidence to make such a move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt is wholly improper for the DOE to unilaterally remove UFT members from the payroll based on mere conjecture that vaccination documentation is fraudulent,\u201d UFT said in a letter to the DOE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>New York City required its public school teachers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of last September. \u201c<\/span><span>About 148,000 school employees \u2014 and contractors who work in schools \u2014 will have to get at least a first dose by Sept. 27, according to an announcement from Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city health and education departments,\u201d Pix <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pix11.com\/news\/coronavirus\/nyc-mandates-vaccinations-for-public-school-teachers-staff\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Teachers faced losing their jobs if they did not comply with the mandate or receive an exemption. Last Tuesday, the dozens of teachers accused of submitting fake vaccine cards were told they would by placed on unpaid leave starting Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFraudulent vaccination cards are not only illegal, they also undermine the best line of protection our schools have against COVID-19 \u2013 universal adult vaccination. We immediately moved to put these employees \u2013 fewer than 100 \u2013 on leave without pay,\u201d a DOE spokesman said, according to PIX11 News.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The teachers union told the DOE to rescind its accusations and is prepared to legally challenge the DOE\u2019s action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>New York has been in the spotlight of vaccination controversy in recent weeks. The vaccine mandate for professional athletes and performers was lifted in the city in late March while the mandate for public workers remained in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Unvaccinated Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has criticized the double standard set by New York\u2019s vaccine mandate, as The Daily Wire\u2019s Joe Morgan <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nyc-worker-supported-by-kyrie-irving-says-people-were-coerced-to-get-the-shot-due-to-vaccine-mandate\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>. Irving recently voiced support for Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) worker Tramell Thompson, who is standing against the mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHe\u2019s leading a community of essential workers and people who are unvaccinated or had a belief that they want to continue to live their lives against the mandate and it\u2019s unfortunate to see that people are getting fired,\u201d Irving <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/ny-kyrie-irving-vaccination-mta-worker-progressive-action-trammell-thompson-20220417-pmmoi3uiazhwnmrn754cna6dny-story.html\"><span>told<\/span><\/a><span> The Daily News of Thompson. \u201cTramell has done a great job of community together and keeping everybody strong and believing this will change. It\u2019s not an easy job so I commend him for doing what he\u2019s doing. But I definitely support the effort to take care of our essential workers and take care of those who have been affected by this mandate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
