I'm a HS teacher in AZ. My principal just pulled me out of class and threatened to get me fired for not enforcing masks in my class.
We allow those clear face shields...
I am thinking; I should carry a Riot-Shield as my mask. Have someone sponsor it and put a big ol' decal on it. Videos and pictures would inevitably go viral of the teacher using a riot shield as a mask.
Sponsorship would need to be about a year salary since I would inevitably be fired and never hired again by "mask people".
Suggestions?
Just apologize. Every day. "Oops, I told them, but you know kids!" Every day. If the kids are old enough, tell them to wear one while winking and nodding. but never, ever enforce it.
