Americans side with teachers against GOP attacks over school closures



By Josh Israel -February 17, 2021 10:45 AM

Congressional Republicans have used the pandemic as another pretext for attacking teachers unions.

For weeks, congressional Republicans have lashed out at teachers and Democrats for prioritizing safety in determining how and when to fully return to in-person education.

A new poll shows a majority of Americans are not buying their latest attempt to demonize teachers.

According to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday, 55% of American voters do not want to reopen schools until teachers have been vaccinated against the coronavirus. Just 34% prefer to reopen schools immediately.
