Reports surfaced this week regarding the impact the COVID lockdowns had on children.
They detail the mental health aspects as well as the setback for learning.
This is backed up by a huge drop in test scores.
Even though Trump fought tooth and nail to get schools back open, and never really wanted them shut down in the first place, he is taking the hit.
Trump Did It
The moment the question was given to the White House, it resorted to the tried and true excuse, blame Trump.
This was Karine Jean-Pierre on the issue…

I need all of one minute of your time to debunk that narrative.
Let’s go back to July 2020, right in the middle of the campaign, when Democrats took out an ad to hurt Trump with parents…

Oh, you know that money that Jean-Pierre reference in her answer?
Well, schools were given $100 billion, and only $12 billion of that money has been spent.
I will leave you with one more thought… Democrats were in bed with the teachers’ union, which refused to send teachers back.
Not only that, they sued Governor Ron DeSantis in December 2020 when he ordered his schools reopened.
I am just wondering why the reporter that asked Jean-Pierre that question did not have all those facts ready to go to rebut her answer.
