TOM EMMER, a Republican congressman from Minnesota, declared last month, “It’s the teachers’ unions that want to keep the schools closed.” For many parents, even progressive ones, that sentiment has become commonplace: everyone wants schools to reopen, but the teachers’ unions are dragging their feet. The truth is more complicated. Not all parents are equally eager to see their children back in school full-time.
And many non-white parents fear covid-19 more than any potential learning loss, for good reason. Black and Hispanic Americans have Non-white children are also likelier than white children to attend underfunded schools in substandard buildings. According to the Learning Policy Institute, a think-tank, 10m pupils and 1m public employees face exposure to covid-19 from deficient ventilation systems, and this problem disproportionately impacts racial minorities who attend the poorest schools. Furthermore, dilapidated buildings left dormant for months—as many schools have been in the wake of covid-19—have particular problems.
That has created an additional racial disparity in education—access to in-person education. White students are more likely to have access to safe in-person instruction than their racial minority peers, even in the same district. In New York City 12,000 more white students attended school in person in December than black students, despite the district having about 100,000 more black students.
This is good news.
I call bill crap on this article
Then opening schools will be racist? That’s the message it seems.
Poorer Schools don’t have protocols in place to keep Children safe.
It certainly feels like the media wants segregation with the horseshit they publish. Absolutely no dignity or integrity any more.

Funny how it’s always the yhite liberals on Twitter who keep telling me that POC kids are harmed the most by remote learning. Apparently, those kids’ parents disagree.
