House GOP lawmakers wear 'open schools now' face masks, push 'follow the science'
Fox News
Several House Republicans were donning new face masks at the Capitol this week to send a message that it's time to get kids physically back in the classroom.
Scalise, R-La., and fellow Republicans have pointed to scientific studies that suggest opening schools is safe with certain coronavirus precautions and have blamed teachers unions for keeping certain districts closed for full in-person learning. Republicans, led by freshman Rep. Ashely Hinson, R-Iowa, have also pressured Democrats to pass restrictions on the new coronavirus money to schools to condition full funding on being physically open. Those GOP efforts have failed so far.More Related News
