I'm gonna guess it's all her fangirls praising her for being a strong Latina and standing up to the old white men in government trying to push her around?

This is almost as disgusting and shameless as trash Dora's latest tweet.

The crazy thing to me is shutting down in person schools impacts minorities and poor communities way way way more than others. You 100% know if Republicans were doing it they'd be screaming racism and disparate impact.

I triggered one on my neighborhood board because I used her first name instead of her last.

Their concerns are completely invalid.
Kids are not at danger. All these fears and concerns about school are coming from teachers and officials like Lina doing their fear mongering. Hispanic, inner city, suburban, they're concerns are just not backed up by science.
The virus doesn't say 'Oh there's a Hispanic kid...Got em!'.

Yeah, sure that single parent who has to work every day and can't afford daycare or a nanny really wants their kid(s) home doing virtual learning.

I'm not defending Hidalgo - I think her leadership has been terrible through this. But in fairness, black and Hispanic families have been hit with COVID much harder than any other. I'll bet the majority of black and Hispanic parents want their kids to do online learning for safety, because they're scared, both of their kids getting sick and of them bringing it home to Pop and Abuela.
Their fear is not rational - kids of all socio-economic groups are probably safer in school than at home in terms of exposure - but it's real and they have experienced COVID in their communities in much greater numbers. She is responding to that very real concern in her constituency, who have much more concrete and valid concerns than a suburbanite like me, whose kids will benefit unequivocally from being in school and face minimal to no risk.
I still don't like her.

Also likely they do not have the necessary resources at home as well.
Can't scream this enough. This hurts our kids and Cities more then whatever you think of this virus.htxag09 said:

Minorities are getting it bad because they live in multi generational homes, work essential jobs wear PPE and precautions are non existent, have a much higher rate of underlying conditions, and put off getting medical attention until it's too late.
NOT because of kids getting it or because it's a meany racist virus that has it out for minorities.

ETA- this hurts our communities "exponentially." The kids not in school today as 2nd graders may seem harmless today, if you don't see what is next then you are a dumbass.

Those thinking school age children are capable of online learning need to be slapped with reality. It may work for your snowflake, but the general population is going to create a big problem for society.

I'm sure Dora is wondering how she can extend the lock down orders.
