That’s the beauty of doublespeak.
Every accusation is a confession, as they say.
No sick days for students. (The bolding is mine.)
Help me out herre, folks. When’s the last time you saw someone coming to work with a compound fracture?
If they were being fair about this they would also mandate that all government employees (including them) can never take a sick-day.
Of course, they will not do that.
First time any intestinal disorder comes around they’re going to have kids puking all over the classrooms, aren’t they? And, of course, in the process spreading it to everybody else in the school.
I hope some of them puke on said officials.
Which employers expect their employees to show up for work while sick or injured? Is that a thing in Tennessee?
Are they going to send truancy officers to the hospitals after the next mass shooting?
That’s a great idea. The next measles outbreak in Oklahoma will provide a terrific opportunity for sick students to show the stern stuff they’re made of, while helpfully infecting their classmates to ensure permanent immunity from the disease, assuming they survive.
Once again, Oklahoma leads the nation. Oklahoma, O-K!!!
Tennessee, Oklahoma, all of those red states start to look the same… 
That’s because they’re all related.
It’s the inbreeding, isn’t it?
Dammit, @running_coach !
I vote for explosive diarrhea.
O-klahoma
where the plague comes sweepin’ down the plain
We know we belong to the land
And the books in the library
are banned!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We’re only sayin’
We’re all sick as dogs
In Oklahoma, but that’s O.K.!
Toys R Us did in the mid 90s. Western Washington.
I injured myself at work (after being told to do a 2 person job, I objected because it wasn’t safe, I got yelled at so I did it and got hurt). I was 19. When I called in the next day I was accused of faking it. I filed an injury claim and went to the doctor and came in with a sling and a note from a doctor proving it was real and instructions that I needed to be on light duty.
My employer reluctantly and angrily admitted it was real but I was not put on light duty and tried my best to do my work injured.
Almost 30 years later, that injury still bothers me now and then. (Tendonitis on my dominant wrist.)
There are asshole employers everywhere. (Though Toys R Us is mostly gone, rot in Hell, and ironically I work for the same state agency I reported that injury claim to so long ago.)
Fairly common in retail.
Hey, did you know that restaurant workers and grocery store worker - the people who handle YOUR food - don’t get sick days?
Is there a reason it can’t be both?
Both would be fancy.
I was horrified during the initial years of COVID to hear from restaurant workers who were screamed at and forced to work when they were ill and tested positive.
And it’s somehow the employees’ fault if a customer gets sick, too.
The toddler died after he was trapped inside a hot car while in the custody of a worker contracted by the Alabama Department of Human Resources, the state’s child protective services agency, according to the Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s Office and the state Department of Human Resources. The Birmingham Police Department is investigating the death.
K.J. had been left inside a car parked outside a home in Birmingham for several hours during the middle of the day on Tuesday, the Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s Office said
Not very protective…
Hope I’m not diverting the narrative. My most outrageous hot car story is from Dear Prudence last summer
“Lance’s car is customized and he treasures it.”
