California proposes bill to allow deported teachers to work remotely

While AB 2019 would allow teachers to continue their job remotely outside of the U.S., it would also allow some professors to voluntarily teach from home if threatened with detainment. They can continue teaching even if they’re denied re-entry to the country.

Campus Reform points out that there are no similar protections for those arrested of other crimes. They also note that studies reveal remote learning has a pattern of producing poorer education results among students.

However, the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, one of the supporters of the bill, claims this is “necessary to preserve the integrity of students’ educational experiences” by keeping the same teachers around.

Dr. Zachary Marschall, editor in chief of Campus Reform, calls it another example of how "broken" California is today.
