The Biden administration has caved to and empowered the teacher’s union instead of listening to the science and sending kids back to the classroom. We’re not the least bit surprised considering the union owns him (and most Democrats) but this is just getting blatant at this point.
And you know the unions are feeling the pressure because they’re starting to blame Republicans and their talking points …
No seriously.
Hey, these unions suck – you can’t be surprised by this:
Teachers, staff, and the unions behind them are not a barrier to schools reopening. We are a barrier to staff and students being put in danger for Republican talking points. https://t.co/0nHKUl8e5p

They’re fussy about an article written by the Wall Street Journal.
Truth hurts.
Corey DeAngelis just tore them up:
Four studies have found that places with stronger teachers unions are substantially less likely to reopen schools in person.https://t.co/SIuTGoDnnI

Families are getting a bad deal and they know it
A national survey found a 10 percentage point jump in support for school choice in a few months
They're realizing there isn't any good reason to fund institutions when we can fund students directly insteadhttps://t.co/ng6PhJfosA

Wow.
Maybe even the blue states are starting to wake up?
If a grocery store doesn't reopen families can take their money elsewhere
If a school doesn't reopen families should similarly be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere.

SO MUCH THIS!!!
Another national survey found support for each type of school choice increased since last year
Education Savings Accounts: +5%
Tax Credit Scholarships: +9%
Private School Vouchers: +16%
Charter Schools: +13% pic.twitter.com/ckGRg9gxjS— Corey A. DeAngelis (@DeAngelisCorey) February 21, 2021
Look at that climb!
Families should be able to take their children's education dollars elsewhere regardless of the reopening decision
Education funding is supposed to be meant for educating children – not for protecting a particular institution.
We should fund students, not systems.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Dr. Fauci: "The default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school […] if you look at the data the spread among children and from children is not really big at all"pic.twitter.com/G0MqlA0NDQ

Even Fauci is saying so.
"Our results suggest that school reopenings have not increased COVID-19 hospitalizations, especially for the 75 percent of counties that had the lowest baseline hospitalizations."https://t.co/LqV1OIgK1U

The teacher’s union is simply poisoning this country. Sorry, not sorry.
