- It’s become increasingly clear that Joe Biden has no plan to safely get students back in the classroom on Day One.
- Joe Biden is letting 25,000 asylum seekers into the US all before getting our children back in schools.
- The science supports getting students back into the classroom and we should put our students first.
- Biden’s own CDC Director has said closing the schools does not actually reduce transmission rates: “there is more spread that is happening in the community when schools are not open that when schools are open”
- The CDC Director also noted it’s possible to safely open schools without all teachers being vaccinated.
- Remote learning is devastating working parents, especially moms.
- Under President Trump, more than half of the jobs created went to women, but Biden’s refusal to reopen schools is forcing women out of the workforce.
- The Biden Administration has requested an additional $130 billion in funding for schools. Before we allocate more money, we should spend the more than $50 billion in relief – passed in the package last year – that has yet to be spent.
- It’s time Biden stand up to the special interests, listen to the science, and open the schools.
