Tom Cotton: The Schools’ Purpose Is To Teach, Not To Employ Adults

RUSH EXCERPT:

COTTON: “With Betsy DeVos gone, it’s going to change much for the worse. Joe Biden and his entire team has said we follow the science. We are the party of science. Tell us what the science says. Joe Biden’s own CDC says the science is clear that schools are not sources of major transmissions of the virus. Yet his own chief of staff says no, we can’t go back to school. Joe Biden and the Democrats are more focused on rewarding their political clients like teachers unions than they are helping kids. Schools have one purpose: To teach kids, not to employ adults. We have seen in Arkansas. We have been in school since last fall, kids can go to school. Proper safety precautions. They are not major sources of transmission. And the teachers and staff can teach them safely. That’s what we need to do all across the country. That’s what the government should be encouraging schools to do. We have spent so much money to help them do that.”
