Does Joe Biden know that the CDC says opening schools should be a priority?
During today’s press briefing, Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki suggested that we don’t have the “data” to know whether virtual learning is lowering education quality when compared to in-person learning.
In case they haven’t heard, here is what the CDC says on the subject: "Opening schools for in-person learning as safely and quickly as possible, and keeping them open, is important given the many known and established benefits of in-person learning.”
And as Biden’s own CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has repeatedly confirmed: “[T]he data suggests, the science suggests that there is not a lot of transmission happening in schools, and in fact, the case rates in schools are generally lower than they are in the population surrounding it.”
Given their continued refusal to listen to the science, Psaki got one thing right when she admitted that parents “shouldn’t be [satisfied]” with Biden’s so-called plan to reopen 50% of the schools for 1 day a week in 100 days.

That’s not a plan, that’s a capitulation to Democrat special interest groups, and a failure to serve America’s children.
