As recall threat grows, California Gov. Gavin Newsom shifts his governing style, pushing reopenings

Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom has often talked about his desire to reopen schools. It wasn’t until the final days of last year, however, that he introduced a plan to speed up a return to the classroom.
Facing the very real possibility of a recall election in the fall, getting children back to class and stemming growing frustration among parents has emerged as a top priority for Newsom.
“Parents want to know when their kids can go back to school safely,” said Robin Swanson, a Democratic political consultant, who added that safeguards such as vaccines for teachers and personal protective equipment are important to many parents. “If you lose parents, you lose California.”

If the county moves to the “orange” tier, then full in-person instruction can resume without teachers being vaccinated.
This followed the February 3 San Francisco City lawsuit against the school district over the delay in school re-opening. Mayor London Breed threw her support behind the lawsuit, posturing as a champion for children’s education, and reiterating the scientifically false claims used to promote school reopenings: “Our children are suffering. And there’s no way I would ever support using the legal system to get our schools open if we were on
