Biden is Failing Our Schools

  • After promising to open our nation’s schools and put children first, Joe Biden has spent his first 100 days in the of
  • fice putting special interests first. 
  • The science of reopening our schools is abundantly clear. 
    • The CDC has concluded that the community spread of COVID-19 in schools is low and that children only need to be three feet apart to remain safe.
  • But the Biden Administration is putting special interests first. 
    • A new bombshell report shows emails between Biden’s CDC and the powerful American Federation of Teachers (AFT) directly influencing CDC guidance on reopening schools. 
    • The special interest group even made language suggestions for the CDC’s school reopening guidelines – language which the CDC “adopted nearly verbatim” into their final document.
    • It’s disturbing the AFT, under the leadership of Randi Weingarten, is leading the unscientific push to keep millions of students from attending in-person classes. 
    • One doctor called these interactions “very, very troubling,” adding, “this is not how science-based guidelines should work or be put together.”
    • Why is a special interest group influencing the Biden Administration’s public health policy? 
      • In the 2020 campaign cycle, the AFT spent nearly $20 million to elect Democrats across the country – including Joe Biden. It appears AFT’s partnership with Biden during his campaign is finally paying off for them.
  • Before he took office, Biden vowed to reopen America’s schools in his first 100 days.
    • 100 days has passed and tens of thousands of kids still aren’t back in school – another broken promise for Biden. 
    • Now, Biden isn’t even committing to fully reopening schools this fall. 
  • The Biden Administration has mixed messaging on reopening schools. Just over the past few days:
    • White House Adviser Anita Dunn refused to back reopening schools by FALL and dodged when asked if Biden would stand up to Democrat special interest groups making unscientific demands.
    • Jill Biden refused to call on teachers to allow schools to reopen, claiming that “it depends.” An educator should know better.
  • The science shows that keeping schools closed have a devastating impact on our children including the mental health, social and economic situation, and academic achievement of children.
  • It’s time the Biden Administration follows the science on school reopening. Our students and families deserve better.
