These stunts resulted in many public schools staying closed nine months longer than nearly all private schools, despite the science clearly depicting children are not vectors of the coronavirus.
Now, the progressive left and their allies in the media are trying to rewrite history in an all-out propaganda push after Randi Weingarten, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president, did an about-face last week saying public schools should fully reopen in the fall.
Really? What changed? Well, a scandal was uncovered.
Earlier this month, Americans for Public Trust, a conservative watchdog group, discovered numerous emails through FOIA requests showing the AFT colluded with the Biden administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to politicize the “science” to keep schools closed and kids stuck at home.
HUNTINGTON â The Cabell County Board of Education has approved the operating budget for the next fiscal year, which includes a pay increase for all school employees.
The proposed pay raise for professional employees is a 3.26% increase based on the starting teacher salary for a bachelorâs degree with zero years of experience. The raise equates to $1,276 for professionals on a 200-day contract, or $6.38 per day.
For service employees, the pay increase is also 3.26% based on a weighted average of the various service employee pay grades with zero years of experience and equates to $786 per year for employees on a 200-day contract, or $3.93 per day.

House Republicans seek passage of legislation to push back against a rule proposed by the Biden administration to promote teaching Americans to judge each other based on skin color.
At least three House GOP members last week announced legislation, with two bills targeting schools, one the military, and one all federal institutions.
Opposition mounts among US workers to repeal of mask mandate
Opposition is mounting among teachers, service workers and industrial workers to the new COVID-19 safety guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that essentially eliminate masking or social distancing requirements for vaccinated individuals in most settings. The new guidelines have been issued under conditions where nearly two-thirds of the US population is not fully vaccinated.
Without a way to determine who is vaccinated and who is not, the rule means that large groups of unmasked people will be allowed to congregate indoors, including at mass events, ensuring the wider spread of the virus.
