The United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) has condemned California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to reopen schools for in-person instruction, calling it “a recipe for propagating structural racism.”
Newsom announced on Sunday that he has reached a deal with state legislators to set aside $2 billion in grants to help school districts cover the expenses associated with bringing students back to classrooms safely. Some major districts, such as the 600,000-student Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), has kept classrooms closed since last March when the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak hit California.
