Wow. Fastball down the middle.

They quit on the parents and the kids who deserve better.” Raimondo scorching comments came after the incompetent Warwick school committee ( controlled by the teachers union) raised the white flag of surrender and claimed “it is too difficult” to have students in school this fall despite the fact the virus is less than half of 1% in the city.  Warwick teachers are represented by the same teachers union as Providence (AFT) and this pathetic plan is seen as a move of solidarity on behalf of Warwick teachers since Providence does not have a contract and was taken over by the state.
