| “Kids are falling behind, yet liberals in Congress seem not to care,” said AAN President Dan Conston. “Even though the science shows it’s safe for children to return to school, teachers unions continue to keep students locked out of their classrooms. Liberals in Congress — awash in teacher union cash — are picking the unions over America’s kids. It’s time for Congress to support safely reopening schools now.”
Despite consensus from the CDC and public health officials that re-opening schools is safe, lawmakers have continued to ignore science and put the teachers unions’ interests ahead of what’s best for our children. In recent weeks, the House has voted twice to block consideration of the Reopen Schools Act.
