The smug indifference of teachers unions is breaking a generation of kids

Lawrence Jones provides more reasons for why parents and students, if not everyone else, should be angry, actually furious, about the evil that has visited our children because of the overwrought COVID-19 lockdown.
If you think you are wise and well-informed by supporting the teachers unions’ obstinate and self-serving campaign for their members to stay out of the classroom, you owe it to yourself to watch and listen with an open-mind. Below is moving evidence how badly children are hurting.
And for those of you who think Jones saying this on Fox News automatically disqualifies his point of view…well, be happy wallowing in your self-satisfied ignorance and indifference.
There are school board elections coming up. Board members who have mindlessly caved into the union demands to keep schools closed need to be removed. Here’s a resource. For people in Illinois Northfield Township District 225 that oversees Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South high schools, I recommend this.
