This video isn’t quite as bad as the Tweet suggests as former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff said schools shouldn’t “fully” re-open until there’s a vaccine, not that they shouldn’t open at all until there’s a vaccine, but it’s still really bad as his plan requires a vaccine in the first place, which is in no way guaranteed anytime soon.

Michael Chertoff, who is helping advise DC's @MayorBowser reopening efforts, says schools should not reopen for in-person learning until a #COVID vaccine.

Omri Ceren, an adviser to Ted Cruz, calls this “epidemiologically incoherent”:
Keeping schools closed – spec schools, while other services reopen – is a backdoor, regressive, indefinite lockdown on families that can't afford asst. It's also epidemiologically incoherent. It checks every box of an elite class disintegrating worker livelihoods to show it can. https://t.co/T1aJtj8nCg

And did he consult any parents on this plan?

Having kids who are struggling show up first, while the rest do distance learning, just isn’t workable:
