President Biden.That’s a very unified message for a party that’s been much divided of late. Republicans have found an issue on which they believe Biden and his fellow Democrats are vulnerable, and after weeks of being on the defensive, they’re seizing it.There’s reason for skepticism about whether the theme will pay off to the degree the GOP hopes.
Those two facts provide a strong argument for getting students back in classrooms as quickly as possible. But low risk isn’t no risk. Weighing how much risk is acceptable — and to whom — is where the politics come in.Many teachers worry about potential exposure, and teachers unions, reflecting those concerns, have resisted efforts in some cities and states to get students back into classrooms that the unions say aren’t yet safe.
The best solution, she says, is for local districts to bring teachers in on the decision making about how to reopen and for states to give educators priority for vaccination. About half the states give them priority now, at least in part. Newsom has resisted doing so statewide, saying that with vaccines still scarce, guaranteeing a priority for teachers would push many elderly Californians too far back in line.
what is a win
Vaccinate the teachers and school staffs first, or schools won't stay open long.
Schools are not supposed to be used as political stepping stone.
This is idiotic. I live in NC where Democrat Roy Cooper has done a great job and now my kids started back to 5 days a week in person learning.
GOP seeks win on eating ice cream and pizza
I like how school reopenings have nothing to do with the children, or even the educators, outside of them being used as pawns in another political battle. Good stuff. /s
Well the GOP anti mask, anti rules, anti science selfish people have helped drag this out for a year! They want to blame everyone but own up to their nonsense for “Freedom” making this much longer than needed. We are ALL miserable & they want a political power grab! Shameful!
Most California public school children have not stepped foot in a classroom since March 13th, 2020.
Better headline: GOP seeks win on sending more people to an early grave!
GOP is always big on education even when they cut funding for it.
Republicans thrive on ignorance but when is convenient for their political maneuvers they use our children and teachers as pawns without any regard for public safety.
effing give me the vaccine! I will go back tomorrow.
Yes!!!!!! Reopen the schools!!! LetThemPlay
Vaccinate teachers and staff. Until they do that, schools should stay virtual.
