Some parents were outraged when they learned that Racine Educators United had asked teachers through a survey if they would be willing to participate in a mock funeral procession this Saturday to âhighlight returning teachers to the building is unsafeâ at this point in the COVID-19 pandemic. Reannyn Bickle, who has been a vocal advocate of returning to in-person learning for Racine Unified students, called the idea for the procession âtruly disgustingâ in an email to District Superintendent Eric Gallien. âIf this mock funeral protest happens, thatâs an assured few hundred families that will be leaving this district,â Bickle wrote.
