“#Andrew Yang blames NYC teachers union for slow school restart<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Mayoral candidate Andrew Yang accused the city\u2019s politically powerful teachers union of standing in the way of kids getting back in schools amid the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will confess to being a parent that has been frustrated by how slow our schools have been to open, and I do believe that the UFT has been a significant reason why our schools have been slow to open,\u201d Yang told Politico New York<\/a> in an interview published Friday.<\/p>\n

The businessman \u2014 who is leading the race for the Democratic nomination in some polls and raised more than $2 million \u2014 is the parent of a special needs elementary school student.<\/p>\n

Yang is not alone in his frustrations.<\/p>\n

\u200bSome families have complained that many students who have been taking in-school classes are getting just a few hours per week back in classrooms, where much of the instruction is still delivered virtually.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio has hinted publicly he would like to bring more students and teachers back to classrooms, but it\u2019s unclear just how forcefully he is pushing for the expansion amid stiff opposition from the United Federation of Teachers chief Mike Mulgrew.<\/p>\n

Mulgrew, this week, declined to back new CDC recommendations made official Friday that would reduce social<\/a> distancing required at schools from six feet to three feet \u2014 arguing that prematurely relaxing safeguards could trigger a COVID outbreak.<\/p>\n

Those spacing requirements have come under scrutiny because they severely limit the number of kids who can be in a building at the same time, slashing in-person learning capacity.<\/p>\n

Parents and some politicians have also begun to argue that fully vaccinated teachers should be ordered back to classrooms.<\/p>\n

Roughly 20,000 of the DOE\u2019s roughly 75,000 teachers were granted yearlong medical exemptions due to the pandemic and are not required to teach in their buildings, even if they\u2019ve received the COVID vaccine.<\/p>\n

Officials at the DOE and the UFT were not immediately able to say how many teachers with exemptions have been jabbed.\n <\/div>\n
