One interesting point is that this article gets several facts wrong. Whether that detracts from the commentary on science or not is I suppose up to the reader

This statement, for example, isn't really true. The U.S. has had school closures much less severe than (for example) South Korea, or a dozen other places. The reference only talks about Europe! 
"Studies have repeatedly concluded" - links to a tweet, and two articles on teacher's unions. There are many studies that have concluded precisely the opposite
The irony, to me, is that the central argument of the piece is that we should embrace uncertainty, but it presents school reopenings as a perfectly certain and good outcome
(The other irony is two professors of law writing about the horrors of the "smug elite", but that is less about the science)
