Your response contains literally no links to studies or actual data, and yet you accuse me of fear-mongering. I think you need to look up what gaslighting means. I'm pointing out the false choice presented to educators right now, a false choice that implies they are crazy if they are worried about making an impossible decision. This is not gaslighting. And I refuse to believe I am causing damage to people simply by pointing out faulty logic. If so, we really are in trouble.
