The anti-science Democrats when it comes to opening the schools

Allison Schuster:
Science And Data Say School Reopening Is Safe, So Why Do Democrats Oppose It?

...

According to the Foundation for Research of Equal Opportunity, maintaining the closure of schools poses expansive threats to the mental, emotional, and physical health of children and their family than the reopening schools could.

“While the risks of COVID-19 in children are low and manageable, the harms of prolonged school closures are high. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ‘The importance of in-person learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school closures in the spring of 2020,’” the report says.

The science also points to children being at very low risk of hospitalization or death from the novel coronavirus.

“The Center for Disease Control’s most recent report shows 12 pediatric COVID deaths total, compared to 174 pediatric flu deaths this season. In the 2018-2019 flu season there were 400 pediatric deaths, and the 2009 swine flu pandemic killed 2,000 children,” writes Phil Kerpen in The Federalist.

Despite the strong scientific support for sending children back to school next month, democrats still advocate for keeping schools closed and continuing alternate forms of learning....
The Democrats' reason is totally political.  They want to keep the economy shut down as long as Trump is President.  They want to use the kids as hostages of this strategy knowing that especially poor parents will not be able to go back to work if they have to stay home with the kids rather than send them back to school.
