Unvaccinated New York City Teachers Are Being Terminated Despite Weak Omicron Data.

The New York City Department of Education (DOE) is finally acting on its threat to fire unvaccinated instructors after two months of inactivity. The department set a new termination date of Feb. 11 in an email sent on Jan. 31.

The DOE offered two packages to unvaccinated instructors in the fall of 2021. The first package allowed them to quit, get paid for any remaining sick days, and get a year’s worth of health insurance, but it barred them from suing the DOE. The second package gave teachers unpaid leave and a year’s worth of health insurance, but it didn’t prohibit them from suing the DOE.

Thousands of instructors rejected both offers and were placed on unpaid leave in October 2021 as a result. They were advised that if they didn’t comply by December 1, 2021, they would be sacked.

One of the teachers sacked is Nadia Lyakhnovich, a special education teacher in East Harlem.

“I knew this was coming,” she told The Epoch Times. “I didn’t see them going back and giving us our jobs back.”

Rachel Maniscalco, a Staten Island bilingual English and special education teacher at the middle and high school levels, is a defendant in three cases.

One is a class-action lawsuit filed against the New York City Department of Health, the Mayor’s Office, and the Department of Energy. Maniscalco is the plaintiff, and he is representing unvaccinated teachers. The complaint is based on the fact that the mandate is unconstitutional.

The second action is similar, except it is brought on behalf of tenured teachers. They argue that because not having a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t a contract violation, they should be placed on paid leave. The plaintiff is Nicole Broecker, and the United Federation of Teachers has been added to the defendants list.

Maniscalco filed the third complaint as a single plaintiff against several of the same defendants. However, in this case, she is arguing a violation of labor laws rather than the US Constitution.

“I didn’t get this letter,” Maniscalco said of the termination email to The Epoch Times.

It might have something to do with the third case, she guessed.

“They hate me.” They’d like me to leave. But I believe I’ve created such a ruckus that they won’t be able to do to me what they’ve done to others,” Maniscalco added.

She also stated that “every municipal worker” of the City of New York who does not comply will be terminated, including members of the New York Police Department, the New York Fire Department, and the Department of Sanitation.

“Thousands of people will be terminated outright,” Maniscalco predicted.

“To be honest, I’ve known since this mandate came down,” Lyakhnovich stated. “I just had a feeling that my career as a teacher in New York City was over.”

Lyakhnovich has previously received certification in another state, therefore she may leave New York in 2023, most likely to the state where she obtained her certification or to another red state.

She added, “And not a blue city in a red state,” “Neither do I want to be at that location.”

While countless European countries repeal their tyrannical COVID-19 legislature, New York City seemingly won’t back down from their idiotic political purge of essential workers. These tyrannical governments are doing nothing but flexing their muscles, and showing what kind of power they hold over society. Which just goes to show the lack of intellect these globalists carry; Because now we know exactly what kind of power they shouldn’t have.

No one man can make sense of this elaborate illusion cast over the common man of society, but collectively we can point out each limitation forced upon us and bring it forward as an injustice to the public. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus says: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” We’re meant to go down preaching the gospel and guiding others to salvation. This could be considered the bravest task a man or woman of faith could undertake, but make no mistake it will bear fruit in the kingdom of heaven. Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole has spoken out against Quebec’s intention to tax residents who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine, and other Conservative lawmakers have also spoken out against the contentious measure.

During a Facebook Live event on Jan. 13, O’Toole expressed his opposition to Quebec Premier François Legault’s idea, calling it unjust and predicted that it will not persuade vaccine-skeptical Quebecers to roll up their sleeves.

He also claimed that Quebec’s idea is incompatible with Canada’s health-care policy, and that it’s simple to “turn a frustrated 85 percent of the population against 10 or 15 other percent of the population,” referring to those who are vaccinated and those who refuse to get the shot.”

who refuse to be vaccinated Legault announced earlier this week that unvaccinated adults without a medical exemption will face a “significant” financial penalty. On Jan. 13, he announced that a measure will be filed in the province’s National Assembly early in February, allowing all political parties to “vote for or against and propose adjustments, if necessary.” Official statistics show that 85 percent of Quebecers have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson, and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe all ruled out a similar punishment for unvaccinated people of their jurisdictions earlier this week. Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, has stated that he will not recommend a comparable “punitive” fee on the unvaccinated. On Twitter, a number of Conservative MPs slammed Legault’s idea.

“Any tax targeting unvaccinated people is discriminatory and wrong. Period.” Pierre Poilievre, a member of the Carleton legislature, wrote in a letter.

Melissa Lantsman, a member of Parliament from Thornhill, described the proposal as “legally and ethically wrong.”

“The scapegoating of the “unvaccinated” is becoming increasingly common. “This tax will do nothing to keep anyone safe,” said Michael Cooper, MP for St. Albert-Edmonton.

Quebec’s plan has also been opposed by a number of civil liberties and constitutional rights organizations.

In a statement released on Jan. 12, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) stated that the planned tax on the unvaccinated “raises significant equity concerns.”

“We know that some of those who remain unvaccinated are individuals who face serious barriers to accessing health care, and many have a low level of trust in the system because of negative experiences in the past,” said Cara Zwibel, the CCLA’s acting general counsel.

“This is a divisive measure that will end up punishing and alienating those who may be most in need of public health supports and services.”

Mark Strahl, a Conservative MP, praised the CCLA for condemning the “shameful policy,” saying that Canada’s charter “recognizes human liberty over our bodies and medical decisions.”

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms said on Jan. 13 that it will sue Quebec over the “planned health tax,” which it claims violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“The proposed Quebec ‘health tax’ is an outrageous breach of Quebecers’ Charter rights and an affront to the equality for which Canada was once recognized,” says John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.

On January 12, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that he would need more information about Quebec’s plan before deciding whether or not to endorse it. The next day, he stated that the province has indicated that the plan will adhere to the objectives of the Canada Health Act, which ensures that all Canadians have access to health care.

This news comes just after the U.S. government warned its citizens to avoid traveling north of the border due to Canada’s rising cases on Jan 11th. To me it just looks like these politicians are trying to keep the public from knowing that there is a particular emptiness around the world that these tyrannical politicians created. Do YOU want to take a trip to Rome or Paris during this plandemic? “While evidence shows that Omicron causes much less severe illnesses due to significantly lower lung infections, the variant’s high transmissibility is driving up cases across Canada.” Said Andrew Chen, with the Epoch Times. With that being said, why are we locking down? Why? Herd immunity is the most basic solution to the problem and Canada is locking down for a highly transmissible yet less virulent variant? Sure, it’s not about government overreach. It’s all in the name of public safety. They’re creating skeptics, and solidifying our perceptions.
