Kava bar bans masks, teachers who do virtual classes
Kavasutra, a Florida-based chain of bars that sells drinks made with the sedative plant kava, is taking heat for banning elementary teachers who still teach remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,” wrote Kavasutra, which has two locations in the East Village, in an all-caps post to its Instagram page Wednesday. “Any and all grade school teachers who, by choice, have opted not to return to in-person teaching are hereby banned from any and all Kavasutra Kava Bar locations.”
In the rant, the holistic drink business also blasted “p—y leftists” after announcing that masks are no longer allowed at some stores.
“Masks may not be worn in Arizona or Florida locations,” read the post, adding that “New York and Colorado are a bunch of p—y leftists so they can cover their mouths with a dirty cloth.”
After being inundated with negative comments and one-star Yelp reviews, Kavasutra posted a sarcastic response, doubling down on its first.
“It has come to our attention that we may have upset some people with our last post,” the second post said, before reiterating that “masks are for leftist losers, teachers unions are trash, women are born with ovaries. And we are doing slams at midnight tonight.”
A third post, published Thursday, kept the vitriol flowing, angrily encouraging more one-star Yelp reviews. “We strive to have 1-Star from these fake leftist Silicon Valley losers. 1-Star is all we ask. The lower our stars, the busier we are!” read the caption.
Kavasutra did not return The Post’s request for comment.
In addition to its two New York City bars, Kavasutra has 12 locations in Florida, two in Colorado and one in Arizona.
“We are the largest chain of Kava Bars in the nation,” reads Kavasutra’s Facebook bio. “We got here by offering the strongest Kava and kratom. Not the garbage you are used to.”
Kavasutra’s website further declares that kava “has been used traditionally for over 3,000 years for celebration, conflict resolution, and for recreational fun.”
