GOP Slams Biden's 100-Day Plan To Reopen Schools, Say The Wait Is Too Long

Republicans are slamming Joe Biden’s plan to reopen schools as he continues to make a call for facilities across the country not to let students back into classrooms until 100 days into his presidency — if he actually gets inaugurated — with the biggest criticism being that the wait is too long.

Given the fact that scientific data points out that children are at low risk from coronavirus and there’s even been significant doubt cast on kids being spreaders, it seems ridiculous to not have schools open now and accepting students.

During a recent call with 30 governors, of both parties, Biden said: “I’m going to ask, and I know it’s going to be controversial with some of you, but I’m going to ask that we’re going to be able to open schools at the end of 100 days,” adding, “That’s going to take a lot of money, but we know how to do it. If we have the money and the funding, everything from ventilation to more teachers to smaller class sizes — a whole range of things.”

Biden in early December requested that Congress provide money for schools to obtain needed apparatus and other resources to establish their safety protocols in an effort to meet the 100-day target. Most schools would carry on in-person instruction by the end of April.

Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Braun, a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, told the Washington Examiner that a deadline of 100 days is too long to put children back into the schools.

“When it comes to schools being open, I think the data shows that they’ve been one of the safest places to actually keep in operation, and most of the schools back in Indiana have managed through. They had great protocols to avoid most of the instances of confronting with it, and when they do, they’ve got a way to handle it,” Braun stated. “They basically kept the doors open. So, the idea that you’d get them back open in 100 days, I think, will be disappointing for any of those that by implication think they’re going to be shut down.”

Even GOP Sen. Mitt Romney, a man who is known for being a bit of a RINO, has stated that he hopes to see schools open much sooner.

“It’s being done at a district by district basis [in Utah], and I’m very pleased that the number of COVID infections in Utah is coming down, which indicates that the governor’s actions have had an impact,” Romney said on the issue.

You’d think since Democrats rely on the public school system to help create future generations of indoctrinated big government loyalists to support their utopian fantasies, they’d want to get kids back in the classroom as soon as possible.

However, the temptation to find ways to control the masses and potentially crash the economy — so they can rebuild a new one made in the image of Marx — seems to be too great to resist.
