AFT President on Updated CDC Guidelines for Children in Schools: ‘I Just Hope This Is Not a Rush’

‘I worry with the new variants what’s going to happen in terms of transmission ability with kids and with their families’

EXCERPT:

WEINGARTEN: “And so, you know, the teachers are being vaccinated. That’s really good. But I worry with the new variants what’s going to happen in terms of transmissibility with kids and with their families. So we got to read the studies. We got to see what it really means. And I just hope this is not a rush to put in twice as many deaths in a place where we’re really starting to get things reopened.”
