On reopening schools, Joe Biden has put special interests first, not America’s children.
Biden has conceded he has no plan to open high schools, he has slow-rolled a return to normal, and refuses to call out the American Federation of Teachers for holding schools hostage after he campaigned with the group.
He has caved to Democrat special interest groups at the expense of millions of children and families across America, even though the science shows that keeping schools closed has devastating effects on the mental health, social and economic situation, and academic achievement of children.
And proving Biden does not prioritize schools – his $1.9 trillion wish list only spends $6 billion, 0.3% of the bill, on K-12 schools this fiscal year with NO REQUIREMENT that they reopen.
At 1:30am Senate now voting on my amendment to give every school district $ to open in person but the more days you open the more $ you get.

Biden should listen to the science and reopen our schools.
