There is a vocal handful on these boards that clamor for school openings and quote dubious claims by people who are not pandemic experts.
We must ignore them. They are literally pushing for more deaths.

Do you also complain that people who want restaurants and other non-essential activities to stay open are pushing for more deaths? [/quote]

There are so few complaints about it that I don't come across them. The crazies are all focused on schools. Nothing inside should be open except essential services. Education and entertainment are not essential in a pandemic. [/quote]

OP here. I disagree. I think education is essential but not entertainment. And I believe that DL ain’t “education”. Kids need to be with their peers learning in classrooms. And kids are depressed, anxious and suicidal in greater numbers. So- not learning plus poor mental health.

For the PP who said this was just some nutty pediatrician- Fauci says the same thing, as does my children’s pediatrician in Silver Spring.

History is going to judge us harshly for how we put the burden of this pandemic on our kids’ backs. I’m not a Trumper and I used to be a huge supporter of teachers and their unions. That support is wavering.  [/quote]
