Republicans and conservatives criticized the close ties between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Federation of Teachers following news that the teachers union s lobbying may have stymied the return of students to the classroom.
“The teachers unions have been lobbying and were able to change CDC guidance for school reopening,” the head of the conservative FightForSchools.com, Ian Prior, said during a conference call hosted by the Republican National Committee on Monday. “I don’t know how anyone can look at the CDC and see any credibility whatsoever when they say follow the science, when their science is talking points being laundered through their agency from teachers unions.”

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and as a mother of two teenagers, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible teachers across America who work so hard to guide and educate our children.
This Teacher Appreciation Week comes at a complex and challenging time: the COVID-19 pandemic has kept too many kids home and struggling with virtual school.
This unique moment compels us to wholeheartedly thank our teachers for their hard work and nimbleness as they changed their entire curriculum to engage and educate our kids virtually, while examining what we need to do to get our kids back in the classroom, learning from our incredible educators in person.

The U.S. has joined several other wealthy countries in blocking a proposal spearheaded by South Africa and India for a temporary patent waiver on the vaccines. The waiver would allow companies around the world to produce generic versions of coronavirus vaccines and therapeutics for a temporary time without having to worry about being sued for intellectual property violations.
The Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) was heavily lobbied by the nation’s second-largest teachers union on when to reopen America’s schools, emails obtained by the
New York Post show. There was extensive communication between the American Federation of Teachers, the CDC, and the White House in the lead up to the release of school reopening guidelines in February.
The documents were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the group Americans for Public Trust and provided to
The Post.
Anyone in the United States, any group, has a perfect right to lobby any federal agency they wish. But don’t you think it would have been nice to know that the CDC was being influenced by teachers in coming to the conclusion that schools should remain closed to in-person learning?
