Connally Independent School District is mourning the second Connally Junior High death from COVID-19 in one week and is closing the campus for the rest of the week starting Tuesday.
Natalia Chansler, a sixth-grade social studies teacher who had joined the district in the 2020-21 school year, died on Saturday, said Jill Bottelberghe, assistant superintendent of human resources.
Chansler had previously taught at La Vega ISD and Waco ISD.
Chansler was last on campus Aug. 25, the same day she provided notice she had been tested and confirmed positive for COVID-19.
We are very heartbroken, Bottelberghe said. This is the second staff member that we have lost in a matter of a week due to COVID. It is very devastating as far as the students, the staff, and the community as a whole.

Every last one of them.

Every single death from this latest wave as a result of anti-vaxxer propaganda is on Mark Zuckerberg. He should stand trial for this.

Lay the bodies on the steps of the governor's mansion.

Covid is a highly infectious disease. Load a bunch of maskless people into a school, it will spread around and kill some of the people.

(100,068 posts)7. Actually I'd go to the source and lay the bodies at the corporate offices of Facebook HQ.
This is more Mark Zuckerberg's fault than anything and the fact that Facebook after all these years still refuses to shut down anti-vaxxer propaganda!

It will be easier to brainwash everyone if the schools are gone. No more critical thinking.
