LOS ANGELES—A group of teachers and parents gathered in protest outside the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) headquarters in Los Angeles on May 16 after some online class teachers who are unvaccinated learned that they could soon lose their jobs if they don’t get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by June 10.
Dozens of people held signs that read “Stop Discrimination,” “Medical Freedom,” and “LAUSD Stop Firing Teachers,” at the protest organized by Los Angeles Educators and Parents United—a group of “diverse LAUSD Educators & Parents unifying for freedom of choice,” according to its Instagram page.
Since the start of its employee vaccine mandate in November, the district moved more than 600 unvaccinated teachers from brick-and-mortar classrooms to City of Angels, the district’s online school, according to the organization.
The protest was triggered by an email sent by the district to an unknown number of unvaccinated online teachers last week.
