The CDC has updated their guidance on school openings, meaning some areas still closed are just about out of excuses:
A new @CDCMMWR finds K-12 schools using multiple prevention strategies can limit spread of #COVID19. Of 102 contacts tested after exposures to students & faculty with COVID-19, two got positive results likely due to in-person school spread. More: https://t.co/eLyBxnJvJx. pic.twitter.com/w3lHKrO3fu

However, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, is NOT out of excuses:
“I worry with the new variants what's going to happen in terms of transmission ability with kids and with their families,” Randi Weingarten, American Federation of Teachers president, says about updated CDC guidelines for children in schools. “I just hope this is not a rush” pic.twitter.com/A9DqJzY91M

How many years is she willing to keep moving the goal post on school openings?

It’s union leadership vs. science, with kids being actively harmed in the process.
There’s no other explanation and the media cannot ignore this dangerous nonsense any longer. https://t.co/5RIIdceFKN

That’s definitely advice that should be heeded.
Rush? Florida has been in school the whole year. Not a vector of transmission. Get back to work or get out of the way and let others do it.

I'm gonna take a stab here and guess that Randi is completely ok with the variants of Covid coming unchecked across our southern border. Am I right? https://t.co/UzLumHU5DA

Disband all teachers' unions.
They are a curse and a blight on this nation. https://t.co/hOMj8uu6qd

What do you call somebody who only gets paid when they actually show up to work?

They never want to give up control on your lives. It’s all about making you tune in everyday so they can make you afraid. https://t.co/pGegkqLfZi

“Control” is the key word. They’ve become addicted and have been allowed to use the virus as an excuse for far too long.
