At the midterm elections, don't forget who really locked kids out of schools
Fox News
We are in the midst of historical revisionism about who locked down our schools and businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stephen Moore is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and an economist with FreedomWorks. His latest book is "Govzilla: How the Relentless Growth of Government is Devouring our Economy."
The short answer to that question is Democratic governors. And yes, a few GOP governors such as Larry Hogan of Maryland.
For the most part, though, you wouldn't know that it was governors such as Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Kathy Hochul of New York, Tony Evers of Wisconsin or Gavin Newsom of California who ordered militant lockdowns but now pretend they never supported these policies. Whitmer and Evers say they only shut down the schools for a few weeks when the reality is the children lost nearly a full year of schooling. They must think voters have amnesia.
