As some teachers unions oppose resuming regular in-person education due to coronavirus concerns, House Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise says that American schools should reopen.
“Maybe you need a children’s union to compete with the teachers union, because the children need to be represented,” Scalise said during an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast.
“So many millions of children right now are being denied future opportunity because their local union is standing in the way of those parents being able to send their kids back to school safely,” the no. 2 House Republican said. “And it can be done. The guidance and the science is there. The will needs to be there too.”
It’s called private school, tutoring, and homeschooling. Screw a bunch of unions.
