By moving classrooms to local bars, he says it&#8217;s a win-win for keeping businesses open and appeasing parents who demand in-person learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are so many benefits to moving classrooms to these fine establishments,&#8221; said Hogan. &#8220;Students can now order whatever they want on the children&#8217;s menu, and, while teachers will be expected to pick up a few extra shifts, at least they&#8217;ll get paid a subminimum wage plus tips for going above and beyond their normal duties.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the safety concerns of children taking classes in less regulated environments, Hogan defended his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Look, obviously moving kids into bars poses some safety risks to the children, but we&#8217;ve determined it&#8217;s the right move,&#8221; said Hogan. &#8220;People may get drunk and rowdy, and the children will be exposed to some bad language, but at least they&#8217;ll be in a place where they aren&#8217;t relying on me to fix the air conditioning system.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANNAPOLIS, MD &#8211; Facing a possible return to remote learning with the rise of COVID cases in the state, Governor Larry Hogan vowed to protect in-person learning by making Maryland public schools move all classes to local bars. &#8220;We all know that COVID can&#8217;t be spread where alcohol is purchased, so this makes perfect sense,&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[95,24,368,189,501,952,640,142,309,743,748,768,135,705,315,710,320,668,840,405,441,638,786,787,130,706,98,542,93,111,4,2,718,716,717,104,164],"class_list":["post-2233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-comedy","tag-dc-satire","tag-google","tag-maryland","tag-maryland-general-assembly","tag-maryland-public-schools","tag-maryland-satire","tag-maryland-teachers","tag-moco","tag-moco-abs","tag-moco-beer","tag-moco-bid","tag-moco-boe","tag-moco-council","tag-moco-dps","tag-moco-executive","tag-moco-permits","tag-moco-planning-board","tag-moco-police","tag-moco-politics","tag-moco-restaurants","tag-moco-satire","tag-moco-school-lunch","tag-moco-schools","tag-montgomery-county","tag-montgomery-county-council","tag-political-satire","tag-reddit","tag-satire","tag-satirical-news","tag-takoma","tag-takoma-park","tag-takoma-park-satire","tag-takoma-satire","tag-takoma-satirical-news","tag-takoma-torch","tag-takomatorch","wpcat-17-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/takomatorch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/takoma-torch-schools-bars.jpg?fit=979%2C702&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paPZSG-A1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2233"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2235,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2233\/revisions\/2235"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
