Rep. Alex Ybarra tells KTTH’s Jason Rantz it’s wrong for governor to threaten teachers’ jobs if they don’t get vaccinated

August 21, 2021

Gov. Jay Inslee says teachers must get the COVID vaccination by Oct. 18 or lose their jobs. House Republican Education Leader Rep. Alex Ybarra, R-Quincy, told KTTH's Jason Rantz it is wrong for the governor to force teachers to be vaccinated, and he expects many will be fired. Ybarra says it will especially hit his district hard because many teachers and staff are Hispanic and against forced vaccinations.
