WATCH: CNN Anchor Grills Chicago Public Teacher For Not Returning To Classroom
CNN anchor Brianna Kellar grilled a Chicago Public School teacher on Monday for not going back into the classroom despite the school district and Chicago mayor meeting all the teacher union’s demands. The teacher said her reasoning for not going back into the classroom is “COVID is still spreading.”
"My concerns that remain, No. 1 concern is I have, is that COVID is still spreading in Chicago. Many of the communities in which we teach, COVID is well above 10 percent community spread. And I don't believe that we have reached an agreement on the question of how are vaccines going to be distributed,” said Kristen Roberts, the teacher.
President Biden has also appeared to take the side of the Chicago Teachers Union, claiming that teachers can return to in-school learning when they feel safe to do so.
Rep. Steve Scalise blasted Biden for this decision and tweeted “Latest example of Biden caving to the Left: He pledged to reopen schools. But yesterday he sided with the radical Chicago teachers union that wants to keep schools closed. When will he start standing up to these liberal special interest unions blocking kids from classrooms?”
According to data, schools are extremely unlikely to be superspreaders of COVID-19. Despite this data and Chicago Mayor Lightfoot, meeting the CTU’s demands, teachers still refuse to go into the classroom.
