Every word of @jonathanchait's latest.

I won’t soon forget that in the Great Debate between @ClaraJeffery and @NateSilver538, Jeffery was basically erasing last year’s school closure history.
Fact check: 53% of schools were closed in 1st week of Jan ‘21, and 37% hadn’t yet been opened (source: @BurbioCalendar).

"The same thing Fox News hosts were doing to their elderly supporters, progressive activists were doing to their side’s young ones."
Spot on, all of it.

As if on cue…
We have an Obama White House dude who wants everyone to judge the left by what’s happening in the 21-22 school year… rather than the one @jonathanchait is talking about (and parents continue to rue).
