Earlier this week, WH press secretary Jen Psaki touted President Biden’s “bold and ambitious” agenda to get all schools in the U.S. opened up again for in-person learning. What exactly does that “bold and ambitious” agenda entail? To have half of all schools open at least one day a week by April 30th. In other words, getting out of bed before noon would be a more “bold and ambitious” plan.
Psaki’s still getting questions about it, and today reporters circled back to her previous comments and this was the answer everybody was expected to believe:
The @PressSec says that parents "should not" be satisfied with having school open once a week. She says the goal is five days a week but "we are going to listen to science and medical experts."

We know that CNN might say “(how refreshing),” but in the real world Psaki’s words translate to something else:
Science and her own CDC say schools are safe. They are listening to unions and that's it. https://t.co/RKi5O19kIl

"Science and medical experts" means "teachers unions" here. https://t.co/ovthKQoqsp

Which medical experts are saying one day a week at school? Because I’m not reading this anywhere. https://t.co/ZUpJmBlkAZ

“Science” = “Teachers union leadership.”
I am not hearing medical experts say to only open once a week. I am only hearing that from teacher unions who don't want to open at all.

"we are going to listen to science and medical experts"
just not their own CDC director (an MD) who has said schools can safely reopen. https://t.co/R9WWYxTpFv https://t.co/akNi1WbZmm

"… now look at this scientist and medical expert, Randi Weingarten, who says lock down schools until 2091!" https://t.co/rsxcg4OjR1

It’s the unions, and that’s it. This should be a huge scandal.

The whole think is so incredibly mockworthy.
SNL should be lampooning this to the moon, but, I'm not holding my breath… https://t.co/BauBO0FXDX

The “truth to power” liberal comedy elite won’t touch it.
