Wondering why your kid’s school is closed but your local bars are open?
The GOP refused to provide additional funds for state and local governments, forcing them to prioritize reopening revenue sources (bars, restaurants, retail). There’s no revenue in schools.

And reopening these revenue sources increased the spread of the virus, further reducing the odds of school reopening.
More money for schools now might help, but the root of the problem is the GOP’s refusal to engage with the bill the House passed in May to give states money.

We are fortunate (financial security, good internet access, ability to work from home) and it’s still hard to create a workable plan for our two young kids without in-school instruction.
My heart breaks for parents trying to navigate this without these luxuries.
