Kennedy High School in Sacramento, reportedly made the comments in a speech to the school board and posted the rant later on social media.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/california-teacher-blames-white-supremacy-for-parents-demanding-schools-reopen\">Fox News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"36\">\n<p><em>Harmony, who is a parent himself, said he has been able to better gauge \u201cWhite supremacy\u201d in his neighborhood, after hearing other parents demanding that the school district have its teachers return to the classroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019m as disappointed as I am unsurprised that last week, we all had to hear all the cynical, pearl-clutching, faux-urgency, ableist, structurally White-supremacist, hysteria, even as teachers were moving forward with an MOU that already put them in harm\u2019s way and was asking too much of a beleaguered group of professionals,\u201d Harmony said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Harmony then chastised parents for treating teachers like a \u201cwait staff\u201d \u2013 actions that, he argued, will impair children\u2019s ability to \u201cgrow up to be better than our generation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou\u2019ve attempted to bully a school board into making the schools less safe for the teachers and children. And you nearly succeeded, making complicit two of its members \u2013 who are still meeting virtually, but deciding that others must meet in person,\u201d Harmony said. \u201cYou\u2019ve attempted to bully a school board into acting in bad faith with teachers of your children.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Sacramento City Unified School District told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/california-teacher-blames-white-supremacy-for-parents-demanding-schools-reopen\">Fox News<\/a> that the teacher\u2019s statements were \u201cnot made in his capacity as a district employee of Sacramento City Unified School District, but in his personal capacity and through the public comment portion during a different school district\u2019s board meeting regarding that district\u2019s reopening plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tone and sentiment of his personal statement does not reflect the official opinions or policy of Sacramento City Unified School District,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>The SCUSD recently reached an agreement with the teachers union to reopen schools in its district and students will be welcomed back to the classrooms beginning April 8.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/article249963384.html\">The Sacramento Bee<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>The [district and the Sacramento City Teachers Association] agreed to provide professional development on technology, an opportunity for teachers to bring their own school age children on campus, and medical assistants to help screen students and staff.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The agreement also allows teachers who have health risks or who care for relatives with health conditions to apply for accommodations, which may include continuing teaching remotely. The district and the union agreed on providing improved ventilation that includes MERV-13 filters, HEPA filters and CO2 monitors.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SCUSD Superintendent Jorge Aguilar said, \u201cEvery day that our students are not on our campuses is time many are not getting the support that they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aguilar added: \u201cWe are happy that our students will not have to wait any longer. The students in Sac City Unified, like all other students in our region, deserve in-person instruction to support their academic, social, and emotional learning and growth. We have implemented extensive protocols to ensure our schools are safe. Over half of our families are choosing to send their students back to in-person learning. It is time to honor their decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.scusd.edu\/sites\/main\/files\/file-attachments\/learning_options_form_document_for_website_-8.pdf\">survey<\/a> conducted in the district, 53% of respondents chose to return to classes for in-person learning, while 47% chose to remain in virtual classes online. The Sacramento Bee reported that \u201cAbout half of the district\u2019s 40,000 students will return to in-person learning two days a week in cohorts, and engage in distance learning three days a week. \u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
