McEnany: “Science Should Not Stand In The Way” Of Sending Kids Back To School, “Science Is On Our Side”

CNN reports:

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany reiterated that President Trump supports opening schools fully, without any kind of remote learning in the fall, and she argued “science should not stand in the way” of that goal. “The science is on our side here,” she added.

Many experts worry about returning to classrooms not necessarily because of the risk to the students themselves, but because of the risk that children could worsen the spread of coronavirus by bringing it home to older relatives and because teachers and school employees would also be put at risk for serious illness.

McEnany: “The president has said unmistakably that he wants schools to open…When he says open, he means open and full, kids being able to attend each and every day at their school. The science should not stand in the way of this.” https://t.co/Nj065CIsxp pic.twitter.com/sJEAJPg2Jy
