Should public schools refusing to open receive more funding?
One of the biggest points of debate will be the decision to give or pause additional funding to school which is refusing to re-open. Sen. Josh Hawley introduced an amendment that would oppose federal funding from schools that don’t get kids back in classrooms.
“In spite of overwhelming evidence that schools can reopen safely, partisan advocates are using children’s education as a cudgel to push their radical agendas,” Hawley said in a statement along with the amendment. “The effect on children and working-class families has been absolutely devastating. The federal government should put an end to this two-tiered education system for the haves and the have-nots by incentivizing schools to safely reopen.”
