Politician
March 1, 2021
Tweet - "What people want: - Open schools - American jobs - Secure border What Biden has done: - Sided w/ unions keeping schools closed - Killed thousands of jobs with radical energy policies - Halted wall construction & deportations He caved to the Left--and families will pay the price."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 25, 2021
Letter to the Hon. Carolyn Maloney, Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform - Comer & Oversight Republicans Call for Hearings on Child Welfare & Reopening Schools
Rep. Glen Higgins, ...
Feb. 24, 2021
Tweet - "The damage to students' mental health and futures could be irreversible if we don't get them back in classrooms with their peers quickly. Luckily both the CDC and Dr. Fauci say schools can and should reopen safely now. Why is Biden following the unions and not the science?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 24, 2021
Schools
Sen. John Kennedy
Feb. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Parents want schools open. Students want schools open. The CDC says schools can open. Dr. Fauci says schools can open. But the unions want to keep schools shut down. And that's the only group Biden seems to be listening to. The priority should be the kids. NOT the unions."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 23, 2021
Tweet - "The truth about the Dems' partisan "COVID relief" bill: - Only 9% of the money goes to public health--the rest to liberal wish list items - The money for schools isn't tied to reopening--and only 5% of it will be used before 2022 Don't let Dems or the media spin it differently."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 22, 2021
Tweet - "This isn't just kids sad they can't see friends. The mental health toll of remote school is SEVERE. Parents are writing to me about kids attempting suicide and being diagnosed with depression. We can fix this. Why won't Dems listen to the CDC and call for schools to reopen?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Let's be clear: The extra $100+ billion for schools Democrats want to pass isn't even tied to reopening. They REJECTED @RepAshleyHinson's bill to require schools getting money to at least have a plan to reopen. Why should we send more money to schools not even planning to open?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 21, 2021
Tweet - "Dems say schools can't open unless we pass their partisan spending bill. But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says 95% of the money for schools in the bill won't even be spent in 2021. Not this spring. Not this fall. Not this year. They want kids to wait that long?"
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 19, 2021
Tweet - "This is not a partisan issue. The science says schools can safely reopen. But Biden isn't following the science. He's following the unions. Meanwhile students are struggling. The parents I hosted on a call had a clear message: REOPEN SCHOOLS NOW."
Rep. Steve Scalise
Feb. 18, 2021

Rep. Steve Scalise
