Allowing families to choose their grocery store doesn't "siphon" money from Walmart

Allowing families to choose their school doesn't "siphon" money from public schools.
The money doesn't belong to any particular institution

Education funding is supposed to be meant for educating children - not for protecting a government monopoly.

Fund students, not systems.
And why would giving families a choice "siphon" funding from public schools?🤔

CNN: "Does the president feel that teachers have to be vaccinated in order for schools to open safely - yes or no?"

VP Spokesperson: "The president believes that teachers should be prioritized for vaccination... the First Lady is a teacher..."
CNN asked the VP's Chief Spokesperson that same question 4 times

They wouldn't answer whether they believe teachers *must* be vaccinated to return to schools

Instead they kept repeating that they believe teachers should be prioritized for vaccinations.
Kamala Harris also dodged the question about requiring teachers be vaccinated before returning to schools

"The CDC itself released a study showing this.

It also recently wrote that there is “little evidence that schools have contributed meaningfully to community transmission.”

So why tie reopening schools to community spread?"🤔
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
"I feel a little dispirited b/c I had high hopes that schools would resume in-person learning

so many scientists & health officials including you & Dr. Fauci have been talking about 'the science supports opening the schools as much as possible'
Tapper: "I know the teachers unions have been pushing back on this...

You're asking for ... a number of measures that we're never going to be able to achieve...

Boy, I don't know if the schools are ever going to open until everybody's vaccinated."
