Not on Trumps uneducated, ignorant, unscientific whim.

Give it up. Trump has GONE.
Everybody? The SCIENCE says open the schools up now.

Due to pressure, so do these goofy governors and mayors.

But the teachers unions....they are saying hell no, we won't go. They have a great gig now making dance videos and skyping.

So "Everybody" doesn't want to.

HAHA. These grandstanders are calling for kids to go back because they can no longer hide the fact that their previous positions were political and not based on "science."

Just like Trump said.

Well, in typical Biden fashion, he timidly tried to play both sides.

His press secretary says he "fully supports opening schools and keeping them open."

But then she says "But we'll wait for the CDC and they have made a final decision yet."

The teachers unions are the all-powerful entity here, for sure. With a Democrat in the White House, they won't be challenged.

Meek.

Trump already knew that it was safe. He was president not that long ago.

Most people knew it was safe...but there was a political battle to be fought first.

Kids simply don't get sick from the virus. We've known this as far back as last Spring and Summer.

No kids have gotten vaccines. The CDC already said its safe for teachers to go back even without vaccines.

Just admit Trump was right a long time ago.

Yes actually he did, starting way back in July when it had become apparent that school-age kids were not spread vectors for this virus and we had sufficient information from countries that didn't close their schools down that schools were not a significant contributor to the spread. But since the Bad Orange Man™ said it, it MUST. BE. WRONG regardless of the academic, social, and psychological toll it's taking on our kids to keep them shut away from each other and the school-sponsored activities that enrich their lives.

Lo and behold, once Trump leaves office, NOW suddenly it turns out he was right. But let's just ignore he ever said anything about re-opening the schools because we don't want to confront the cognitive dissonance that would cause.

No one really cares about these children and their education. Not the teachers, the unions or the democratic leadership.
They are simply used to line pockets. It is shameful .
