COVID contrarians claim that closing schools was a mistake, in part because of the impact on their mental health. But that’s not what the data says at all. @mehdirhasan speaks to @tylerblack32 about one of the most pervasive myths about COVID, kids and remote learning.

Two people that were wrong for 3 years ignore all evidence and data to assert they were right. Because in being wrong, they have done more damage to children than any humans in American history.

That's precisely why we're thinking of homeschooling. Oh, and also then we get to control what our kids will be exposed to. So a kid who is both alive AND studies only topics we choose? Sign me up ☺️

This is an excellent example of having data and interpreting it poorly

Didn’t realize anyone was still trying to defend school closures. NYT, CNN, and the rest of the mainstream left have all abandoned the idea that they were a defensible policy decision.

They are not "COVID contrarians". They are people who: 1. Can read. 2. Don't believe in building institutional inequality by penalizing low-income kids. brownstone.org/articles/what…

What They Did to the Children ⋆ Brownstone Institute

The desired reset was achieved; we have reset our expectations regarding truth, decency, and the care of children.

Mehdi Hassan is such a political shill that he would rather twist logic and reason to justify school closures, rather than accept the simple fact that this position pushed by the Democrats was deeply harmful. Luckily he is on MSNBC where no one watches.

Don't notice your own child falling behind. Don't notice them dealing with the lingering effects of isolation, loneliness, depression and purposelessness. Definitely don't notice how it was one prominent party who forced your child into this position either. Trust Experts™️!
