Who Kept Our Children Locked Out of Schools?
Gaslighting the country about school closings cannot go unanswered
Tickets for October 8th Rational Ground conference in San Diego go up in price next week. Get yours and join jay Bhattacharya, Scott Atlas, Jennifer Sey, and others.
You may have seen yesterday how the White House Press Secretary declared that it was Republicans who kept schools closed and that only President Biden’s herculean efforts in re-opening the country succeeded in getting them back in the classroom!
This is a lie.
It’s understandable why they would want to distance themselves from these terrible decisions which impacted our kids. As New York Governor Hochul exclaimed (without a hint of irony): “Wow, wow, that was a mistake.” The New York Times reported yesterday, math scores among 9th graders plummeted. Their headline which blames “the pandemic” is the latest deflection technique - the virus made us do it!
We can’t let this gaslighting go on.
Our friend Tom Elliot put together a master thread on this subject matter - he brought the receipts. Here are a few highlights
Dems who fought to keep schools closed
AFT's @rweingarten, July 28, 2021, refusing to commit to re-opening schools:
Biden's @WHCommsDir Kate Bedingfield, Feb. 9, 2021, refusing to commit to re-opening schools: Biden's "listening to the science"
Teachers unions were at the forefront of keeping schools closed:
Biden's education secretary, May 5, 2021, refuses to say it was a mistake to keep schools closed: "It’s critically important that we’re listening to our health experts, because this is a health pandemic"
Beto: "By all means, do not reopen schools"
Pelosi, July 13, 2020: "The biggest risk to the spread of the pandemic is opening up the schools ..."

I have a lot of hyper-Liberal friends on Facebook, you know, the ones who all proudly put the “stay home - save lives” and “I got vaccinated!” frames around their profile pictures in the beginning of this mess. It has been radio silence from all of them on Covid stuff for a long long time now. Many have kids and they seem to have been sick of this crap just months after it started. Anger is brewing even amongst the dedicated Left, even if they won’t speak it aloud.
now for the "cover my ass so i can hang onto my job" phase of the pandemic
