Henninger: Coronavirus Has Parents Losing Faith in Public Schools

The story begins: Among its multiple alterations, the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-21 may be undermining the role of public schools in the United States, in place since the middle of the 19th century. It is a reassessment that is long overdue. A relevant anecdote is Ronald Reagan’s famous explanation that he didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left him. Across the country the past year, that has been the experience of parents with children in many of the nation’s public systems—abandoned by schools they’ve supported with their tax dollars (WSJ).  

After months of ignoring the science on this, Biden will apparently finally seek to get schools open (Fox News).
