There is a healthy debate going on about the need to get children back in schools. Is it safe to go back for children, teachers, administrators and other support personnel? I am not sure what the answer is, but I am confident a rational, non-politicized solution will become possible. I believe schools will pass the test. The Republican Party, however, continues to fail the tests it has been presented even though they are take home, open book, pass/fail tests.
Their first test was the impeachment trial. It could not have been any easier. The “teachers” gave them the answer. All they had to do was write down the answer on the test sheet. They had only one true/false question to answer, and they got it wrong. They accused the teachers of giving them the wrong question. Rather than answering the question about Trump’s guilt or innocence , they essentially said, “Who’s to say?” For that, they have earned a failing grade, which will be on their transcripts for life.
Their second test was administered in the state of Texas. The Governor failed the leadership test, which was a multiple choice test where taking responsibility and solving the problem were the correct answers. Rather than getting out in front of the problem, he went on Fox to blame AOC and the Green New Deal. I am not sure if he was blaming AOC for not doing enough to solve climate change, or was trying to do too much. No sooner was he trying to walk that back when Ted Cruz was getting on a plane for Cancun. Rather than taking responsibility for his poor decision, he blamed his daughter for not giving him the test answers.
We need to get the schools open as fast as possible because Republicans are failing miserably, and should be made to repeat the past year.
