‘The Left Is Concerned about COVID in the Classroom’ But Not at the Border; Republican Bill Would Pull Federal Funds From Schools That Refuse To Teach Kids In-Person, and other C-Virus Updates

Blackburn: ‘The Left Is Concerned about COVID in the Classroom’ But Not at the Border:

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s News HQ,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) criticized the White House for breaking with the CDC on returning students to in-person learning and said that “it seems that the left is concerned about COVID in the classroom. They are not concerned about COVID at the border crossings.”

Blackburn said, [relevant remarks begin around 1:00] “The White House has one opinion. CDC had already said that children could go back to school, taking the proper mitigation strategies, getting those in place, and that is your PPE, making certain you’re using masks, you have dividers, and every — the teachers are on the list for getting vaccinations. Here’s the deal, it seems that the left is concerned about COVID in the classroom. They are not concerned about COVID at the border crossings.” —>WATCH INTERVIEW HERE

Republican Bill Would Pull Federal Funds From Schools That Refuse To Teach Kids In-Person:

With psuedo-science spearheaded by teachers unions favored by the Biden administration over the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) January recommendation to fully re-open America’s schools, eight Republican senators want to get students back inside the classroom.

On Wednesday, Feb. 3, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) introduced the Put Students First Act of 2021.

“Now that leading health experts at the CDC are recommending that America’s schools be reopened as soon as possible if precautions are taken, teachers unions are fighting to stay out of the classroom,” Rubio said in a statement. “Instead, they want to hold our students hostage for more federal funding despite Congress already having provided tens of billions of dollars for public K-12 schools. There is no substitute for in-person learning, and now the science is confirming that it can be done safely.”

The bill includes a prohibition of federal education funds for K-12 schools that fail to reopen properly, which would effectively force some institutions that already received COVID-19 relief and fiscal-year 2021 money to return the funds. —>READ MORE HERE
