The Biden administration's so-called "school reopening" plan is being controlled by teachers unions and the excuses for keeping schools closed are running out.
First, Biden promised on the campaign trail to open schools "within 100 days" of taking office.
Today, I'm announcing key COVID-19 priorities for the first 100 days of my administration:
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 8, 2020
- Everyone wears a mask
- 100 million vaccinations
- Reopen the majority of schools
With these steps, we can change the course of the disease and change life in America for the better.
Once in office, the White House changed the narrative to re-opening schools "safely" if the $1.9 trillion Wuhan coronavirus "relief" package passes through Congress.

Over the past three weeks, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has repeatedly undermined guidance from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who said teachers do not need to be vaccinated for schools to safely reopen. Walensky and the CDC were then pressured to change their official guidelines.
CDC confessed to letting teachers union overrule science. Outrageous corruption. https://t.co/NhS6WzPUqI

Now, the situation has turned into a communications nightmare and Vice President Harris made it worse during an interview with the Today Show Wednesday morning.

Last week the White House confirmed it has no plan to reopen high schools.
