Marsha Blackburn: We Need Children Back in School
February 27, 2021 | 
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn delivered a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate and highlighted how the science proves schools can and must safely reopen.
“The Democrat effort to keep schools closed puts the interest of teacher unions above the needs of our students,” said Senator Blackburn.
Marsha Blackburn: What happened to following the science?
Written by Senator Marsha Blackburn
Washington, D.C. – When the novel coronavirus first began to spread across the United States, many self-proclaimed experts and pundits demanded that Americans “follow the science”—but the underlying message was clear: stop asking questions.
As a result, local governments shut down schools, child care facilities, and more as part of a nationwide effort to “stop the spread.” The current attempt to keep schools closed, however, puts a political agenda ahead of overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrating that our students can and should head back to the classroom.

Lamar Alexander, Tim Scott Introduce School Choice Now Act
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Congressional School Choice Caucus co-chair, introduced the School Choice Now Act – legislation that ensures all students will return to their pre-pandemic educational institutions. Senator Scott was joined by Senate Education Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN).
“Growing up in a single-parent household in a distressed neighborhood, I fully understand what it means to be overlooked and underserved. As a supporter of School Choice legislation, I am a firm believer that a child’s zip code should not dictate his or her access to quality education nor define the child’s future,” said Senator Tim Scott.
