Schools Got $130B To Re-Open. Some Of It Went To CRT. Now Many Are Closed.

Here’s how states actually spent money that was supposed to allow them to deal with COVID.

Many schools are not resuming classes as the year begins, citing COVID-19, after spending some of the $130 billion schools received for reopening on Critical Race Theory-infused initiatives instead, a review of funding applications shows.

On President Joe Biden’s first day in office, he told Americans that delivering $130 billion in supplementary funding to schools through his American Rescue Plan (ARP) would “provide schools the resources they need to reopen safely.”

“We can [open schools] if we give school districts, communities, and states the clear guidance they need as well as the resources they will need,” he said.

NPR blared: “Biden Administration Proposes $130 Billion To Help Schools Reopen.”

In March, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said “there’s no replacement for having kids in the classroom. We need to get our schools to re-open as quickly and as safely as possible. Now, my Republican colleagues have made a lot of noise about re-opening our schools, but they don’t want to dedicate any resources to actually getting it done.”

  1. Imagine that… you pour a ton of money into schools and it’s not enough to solve the problem. American education is a joke. I say dump the unions and make teachers work like the rest of us.
