The Biden administration and teachers unions are mounting a campaign to return American children to classrooms five days a week

State policymakers have introduced more than 600 bills related to student mental and behavioral health since 2019, the Education Commission of the States. More than 30 states have collectively enacted at least 72 bills in the last few years, the report found, and some governors have indicated student mental health is a priority for their states.

— Alyssa Rafa, a senior policy analyst at the commission, said bills to relax school attendance policies could be “an up-and-coming trend” in school mental health legislation. “Being able to continue to make the funds available and know how to spend them in a way that will be most useful in addressing our current needs is going to be key.”

When? In the fall?

Amidst the challenges of a global pandemic! Students learning with amazing teachers in classrooms..all year long! Tupelo Public School District in Tupelo, Mississippi! We are Wave proud of our district's use of protocols backed with science to keep everyone safely learning.TPSD

F ing hilarious. This headline reads like the problem is everywhere vs in dmkmcrayiclaky controlled union infected locales. Report properly or not at all

After they cruelly kept them out of school for over a year. Don’t try to spin this.

Lol they’ve been doing the exact opposite for months. Conservatives have been trying to get kids in school for months.

Most of America’s children have been in in-person school since January.

did you realize that you screwed an entire generation of children out of their education and decide to turn the clocks back a year? lunacy

Are school districts that had children learn from home going to return tax payers' money for operating budgets they didn't need since no one was in the school buildings? You don't need a 4 to 5 million dollar tax levy when everyone is working from home.

The fuck they are.

... but first the unions will need a small, charitable donation from the U.S. treasury of $1 trillion.

They thing they were fighting against the entire time lol

Who wrote this headline? Do they think we are going to forget who stood in the way of our children going back to school?

Get rid of the teachers union they're poison

Teacher unions kept kids out of school for a whole year. No amount if spin will erase that truth.

Who is resisting that campaign? The teachers unions are pretty much the only opposition to returning.

These unions should be admitting what they did to American kids & teens this year in going against the science by obstructing schools opening. They need to apologize to public school families. That’s the only real path for them to try to repair their image & regain public trust.

As long as it is safe. They can't control lice from the kids but we shall see. Keep them away from me and go ahead.

I'm confused. Isn't a regular school week 5 days? Why don't they just say, 'return to classrooms'?

It's like a Shitebook memory popping up. 'Remember this'

My kids have been back all year. Fuck these unions and the current admin for being bullied by them for money.

Are they campaigning against themselves?

Wow! What a serious gaslighting to protect teachers unions. They’re the reason schools aren’t all open now. 🤦‍♂️

🤪🤡

What? 50% of US pub schools open for FT in person learning since 9/20. Private/religious schools as well, and in same places public schools STILL closed to FT in person learning for 14 mths/counting. Just another propaganda piece for AFT’s history rewrite as reopening champions.

Who’s stopping them? Roflmao

This is on a path of happening anyway. 🥱

The teachers unions?!?!

After fighting for a year to keep schools closed even after the data showed in person learning was safe.

No, they are not. They did their damnest to do the opposite.

Lmaoooo teachers unions

Lol. Not their call

Don’t need a campaign, just open up schools!

Propaganda at its finest. shameless

Teachers union can go fck themselves. They’re significantly responsible for the terrible education system we have

Uh...they’re the reason that schools are closed.

Lmao we see right through you. Enemy of the people!

Since when do we “NOT” require vaccines to protect others at school? I’m 61. My mom provided my completed vaccines before I could start school. Same with my daughter, & granddaughter. When did pollarization ever Trump safety? It isn’t just black and brown people who want safety.

Why weren’t they already? propaganda

L I B E R A L P R O P A G A N D A The teachers union was the problem. They remain the problem. SchoolChoice is the answer.

No kidding?

This basically applies to anti-science teacher unions. My kid has been 5 days a week since September. Why the district spent their additional funding for the kids coming back to school.

Whew ratio

BREAKING: Fox named head of security for Hen House.

Down with the unions.

My kids have been 5 days a week for over a month now.

No they aren’t. They’ll happily teach unvaccinated illegals with no Covid tests but they don’t want American children in the classroom. The communism is strong in America.
