Welcome back foreign students. With the help of you, America's States will succeed justice for all. ☮
And they will be vaccinated if necessary. COVID is now more in control with proper institutional and administration guidelines. About time to encourage diversity in knowledge and education! Great move!

Amazing how Biden is making sure foreign children can get in school, not so much for America's kids.🤔
So long for American exceptionality.
