Biden fails science class

Rapid Response

The Biden administration is shamefully refusing to stand up to Democrat special interest groups and protect the interests of America’s children.

The science is clear: there is no scientific, economic, or public health rationale for keeping schools closed when they have invested in the proper safety precautions.

In Chicago, over $100 million has been invested in the exact precautions the CDC recommends to safely reopen schools. To name a few:

  • Personal protective equipment
  • Small, stable class “pods”
  • Daily screenings, rapid testing, and contact tracing
  • Hand sanitizer and soap
  • Hospital-grade cleaning and disinfectant
  • Ventilation and air purifiers
  • Plexiglass dividers

And yet, the Biden administration still REFUSES to call on the Chicago Teachers Union to head back to school.

 The Biden administration needs to do what’s right: listen to the science and finally call on the CTU to allow schools to open. To not do so would fail our communities and signal that the political power of a special interest group holds more weight in the Biden White House than a child’s future.
