She said teachers, students and parents don\u2019t need to know when schools are expected to reopen and fought against in-person learning without vaccinated teachers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where I\u2019m at,\u201d Bell-Fontenot said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be part of forcing anyone to do anything they don\u2019t want to do. That is what slavery is.
