Remote learning is a disaster for ALL children, not just "Black and brown". The the focus on certain races over others 1) reveals a major defect in how white urban liberals think, and 2) because of that defect, became the story and distracted from the actual issue.

"This was unclear last March and April, but now study after study has shown that schools can be safe."
Transmission of Covid-19 is not at all novel vs. other SARS-like viruses.

Truth be told, @nytdavidbrooks and others who are now doing a U-Turn on school closures succumbed to panic and groupthink last spring. They allowed their judgement and reason, as well as ideology and political preferences, to cloud their reason.

There were myriad reasons we've never reacted in such a manner to a pandemic, ever in history.
There is no great revelation in the wake of "new" data, as @nytdavidbrooks and other U-Turns are pretending. There was a muting of the voices of reason who opposed the panic shutdown.
