UTLA, the Los Angeles teachers union, voted late last week not to return to in-person classroom instruction until a series of demands are met — including a demand that all teachers and staff be vaccinated against COVID-19 — but now members are warning each other, on a private Facebook group, not to reveal that some individuals have been taking vacations while schools have been closed to avoid bad “optics.”

Newsweek reports that a “private Facebook group from a teachers union in Los Angeles warned members not to post images of Spring break vacations online after the union voted to remain closed for in-person instruction.”
