[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone please summarize? If not school then what[/quote]

It is school, just not the CRT stuff or vaccine or mask mandates. They’re angry that schools stayed closed for as long as they did and that the Democrats seemed dismissive of parents’ concerns about the resulting disruption and learning loss. I certainly understand their concerns [b]but they do come off a bit self centered… like all that matters is them and their famil[/b]y, not the healthcare workers or teachers or the medically vulnerable. I think Democrats’ biggest mistake wasn’t necessarily closing schools, but for not showing more concern about the fallout now. Terry couldn’t even manage to fake it. He just didn’t connect with suburban women as much as he needed to. [/quote]

You realize this is most people, right?

Also, I agree with your last point. In fall 2020 we just didn't know. Most DMV UMC preferred schools either virtual or hybrid, not opening packed schools. It seemed like the right call to many. But as time went on and most other parts of the country opened schools and it was overall fine (not perfect and yes there were Covid cases), ppl here felt we missed the boat. This could have been a more nuanced talking point -- Ds were trying to keep everyone safe but it was really hard for many and maybe it didn't have to be that way, we couldn't have known then what we know now, etc.[/quote]
