Everybody knows how people such as American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten have lately been pretending like they were never proponents of shutting down in-person learning now that it’s becoming known what damage that did to so many kids. Former Biden Covid adviser Andy Slavitt insisted in 2020 and even last year that keeping schools open was a big mistake. Now a “how it started/how it’s going” for the ages has been spotted:

Not long ago “experts” like Slavitt were saying the educational and developmental impact of school closures would be minimal on children:
BREAKING: The CDC has changed their recommendation to now say to just send your kids to school.
The @CDCgov has fallen so so far. The document is sad. https://t.co/oe7BDClMCt

This paper is full of such gems as “school is important for a child’s development.”

I say this knowing there are wonderful scientists in the CDC right now with their head in their hands.

That was then, and this is now: “An epidemic of learning loss” is being discussed on Slavitt’s podcast:
We have an epidemic of learning loss. The country has allocated $122 Billion for schools. @Aslavitt visits two places that have gotten kids back on track: Tennessee with @SchwinnTeach and Oakland @LakishaYoungCEO. Listen to what you can do.

Unreal. And what’s most maddening is that they’re just hoping nobody remembers what was said and done.
These people all did such unfathomable damage and they know the mass public have short memories. https://t.co/2yITeBnKxx

Do NOT let them get away with it.
Get all these receipts because they will or rather are already claiming that they never supported lockdowns and the mandates.

Break it so you can offer your services to fix it.

It’s good work if you can get it.
They're gonna learn the hard way that there are some things that people never forget

Hopefully!
The science was clear on closing schools and masking kids for Covid. Other countries managed to keep their schools open. Now the US kids are paying the price. https://t.co/TSmgEQbF68
