Democrats are speaking out more forcefully against COVID-19 school closures, recognizing a rising anger among parents worried that their kids are falling behind.
At the same time, Democrats are cognizant of the concerns of parents like Megan Bacigalupi, who quit her job at a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit last year to help her two young children deal with the hassles of remote learning. She's since founded a group, CA Parent Power, to push to keep schools open.
“That shows remarkable strength and courage and fortitude on behalf of teachers and paraprofessionals,” Weingarten said. “Omicron is the enemy, not each other.” In Oakland, where Bacigalupi lives, schools didn't reopen until August 2021, and a teacher sickout protesting conditions during the recent virus case surge closed them for one day last week.
"We are having challenges right now securing orders that we've put in with our local health department because the tests just aren't there," says Superintendent Susan Enfield of the Highline School District, outside of Seattle, Washington. Biden has been increasingly vocal about the need for in-person instruction. On Monday, Psaki said the White House was trying to “assist” Pritzker and Lightfoot as they worked to resolve the strike.
