On a surface level, it makes sense that they want public schools to be reopened, but really, it just shows how hypocritical some of these conservatives are, like Ben Shapiro ("shocking," I know). For years conservatives have been lamenting the public schools as a source of leftist indoctrination (which I agree with), so shouldn't conservatives be more vocal about the value of home schooling? Or would having students be home-schooled (which generally a parent wants to be there for) shine a greater light on a problem conservative politicians and pundits want to ignore?
Home-schooling should definitely be more utilized compared to public schools, so I don't understand why conservatives in general aren't looking a gift horse in the mouth?
This. Even among Conservatives there's just a desire for "things to go back to normal".
Kids not being at "daycare" is the big blocker. More so than work being allowed again. If teachers are back to teaching, it's the point of a wedge. "well no you have to allow cleaners, kitchen staff, bus drivers. And if those are being used well factories for those food stuffs and school supplies need to reopen. If those are open... Etc".
They'll plomise to deal with the Leftist propoganda in schools, just once they get this thing, then another thing.
Also some anti-union sentiment in there too imo. The majority of schools would be open at this point if not for the teachers unions.
