The Callous COVID Cruelty of Our Ruling Class

As Joe Biden abandons a key campaign promise on reopening schools and contemplates a travel ban to Florida, the inhumanity of COVID “mitigation” efforts is laid bare.

“Biden and the Democrats, obviously, are not following the science, they’re following the money—the taxpayer-funded gravy train filled with roughly $170B earmarked for public schools and colleges in Biden’s coronavirus “rescue” package;

—that bonanza is in addition to the $114 billion already dedicated to schools in the last two COVID “relief” giveaways.

The WH can’t explain where the money will go except to say it will be spent on ventilation systems and PPE for teachers because it would be unseemly to admit a few hundred billion in tax dollars is just a kickback to one of the Democrat Party’s most dedicated constituent groups.

Of course, Biden is only partially to blame for continued school shutdowns. Blue-state governors refuse to stop the suffering themselves. One researcher found that of the 11 states where fewer than 10% of students have access to full in-person learning, 10 are led by Democrats.

Conversely, states with at least 70% full in-school learning all are led by Republicans.

CA Gov Gavin Newsom, whose state has roughly 5% of its schools fully open, can’t even figure out how to get the most at-risk children, including foster care and homeless kids, back to class.

Nonetheless, Newsom bragged this week about how he worked “late into the night” to develop a back-to-school plan that appears to be going nowhere.

Further, Newsom’s plan does nothing to get middle school or high schoolers back to normal.

California is only inching its way back to resuming high school sports, which have been suspended for almost a year.

Lost scholarships, lost opportunities to create lifelong friendships, lost lessons on teamwork and excellence, never to be regained. Yet no one seems to care.

‘Suicides among teen athletes have rocked several youth programs since the pandemic began in March, leaving parents and coaches scrambling—often from a distance—to help grieving kids in hopes of preventing more tragedies,’ the Washington Post reported in December.”
