Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“Seeking a winning issue as he trails in the polls to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, the president aggressively pushed the issue this week, calling for in-person classes and blasting federal guidelines for reopening as too onerous. His campaign portrayed Mr. Biden as beholden to teachers’ unions, while Mr. Biden’s campaign said Mr. Trump has failed to give schools the funding and guidance they need to open safely.

While the Trump campaign argues these moves will pay dividends with voters, particularly suburban women, the issue is complex. Polling shows that parents are sharply divided on the subject, with Republicans more inclined to want their children returning to school full time. But some parents are worried about sending their children back to school during a pandemic, and teachers argue there is no way to truly ensure their safety. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged schools to reopen, citing the developmental and health benefits for children of attending class in-person.”
