It's disgusting. There are kids waking up today in California with this news thinking that their governor hates them, and rightly so.

Look, every mayor's going to tell you that they need more resources. What we've seen that's been successful is the things that I talked about before, but we've also I think done a lot with diversion at the police station.

We've got to make sure that we use every tool in our toolkit. And it's -- soft power is more, much more effective than the hard power of law enforcement for this particular problem.

Unfortunately, some people like to politicize the pandemic. And that's not just something that happens on one side of the political divide.

Remote learning, for any period of time is off the table from a system wide standpoint.

I get that people are scared. This Omicron surge is real. And we're doing everything that we can across our city to mitigate it.

I'm determined. I'm resolute, I've said enough is enough. And we're going to get our kids back to in-person learning.

This is an unnecessary and illegal work stoppage. And I've drawn the line, we are not going to remote for the whole system. It's completely unnecessary.

I think we've made significant progress over the last few days. But I want to deal done this weekend. Our kids need back -- be back in school, schools are safe.

We're in a good, I think, a place with both our Governor and the White House.

The White House says they've been in touch with both you and the governor to quote, assess your needs.
