Former US Secretary of Education, Dr. Bill Bennett says teachers unions have power over Biden and the Democrats. <\/p>\n
Former Secretary of Education Dr. Bill Bennett said Monday “it is a scandal” for many major public schools in the U.S. to continue to be shut down under President Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s true now that a lot of kids may not see classrooms until September,” Bennett said during an appearance on “America\u2019s Newsroom.” “This is a catastrophe for these kids, and there\u2019s no beating around the bush on this.”<\/p>\n
The White House has said more funding is required to reopen schools safely and pushed for Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package to be passed in Congress.<\/p>\n
Bennett asserted that the U.S. could have a “lost generation” of children who will suffer academically, socially, and morally if a plan to return them to the classroom is not created soon.<\/p>\n
Biden has called for most schools to reopen within his first 100 days in office.<\/p>\n
