Prog blue-check David Rothschild, in response to that awesome video with told you about on Thursday calling out Dems and teachers’ unions for keeping the schools closed, is arguing that it’s actually Democrats who “opened the schools” and it’s Democrats who “are keeping the schools open”:
Democrats opened the schools.
Democrats are keeping the schools opens.
>98% of schools have been in open in 2022, >95% since the start of school in fall 2021.
**It is a lie to blame Democrats for things they did not want and did not do**

You guys are really going with this? 🤣

Here’s a little fact-check from DeSantis spox Christina Pushaw:
Then why are schools only closed in Democrat areas? And how did Florida, led by a Republican governor, open all schools in August 2020? https://t.co/rdqvDBT0xP

Rothschild decided to double down:
Schools were open in Florida in the fall of 2020, they were also open in New York City in the fall of 2020.

Listen, we get that he doesn’t want to listen to a DeSantis staffer, but perhaps he would be interested in what the NYT had to say back then?
Are you saying the New York Times is fake news? This is from September 2021. pic.twitter.com/gh2YygwPXs

And here’s Karol Markowicz to slap down his gaslighting because “open” never really meant “open”:
I had kids in NYC public schools from Sept 20-Jan 21 and then in FL public schools Jan 21-May 21. My sons went to school 2-3 days a week (w/a random month off mid-Nov to mid-Dec) and my daughter's school didn't reopen until April. Not rewriting this history, sorry. https://t.co/GHZH0nGaq2

And that’s why she moved to Florida:
In Florida my kids went to school every day. That's what "open" schools mean. The hybrid model, which because NYC rejects science turned out to be the most dangerous of all schooling solutions, is not. No. https://t.co/GHZH0nGaq2
— Karol Markowicz (@karol) February 4, 2022
Yep. Just because they said schools were open didn’t make it true:
Oh, AND, my sons going 2-3 days a week was lucky! So many kids went 1-2 days! This was NYC's "open" schools.
