Tampa Bay Times: As school districts in coronavirus hotspots threaten to defy the state’s order to reopen schools full time in August, Gov. Ron DeSantis doubled down Thursday, saying that because students are less at risk, schoolteachers must return to work.
“We spent months saying that there were certain things that were essential that included fast-food restaurants. It included Walmart and Home Depot and Lowe’s,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Jacksonville with U.S. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia. “If all that is essential, then educating our kids is absolutely essential, and they have been put to the back of the line in some respects.”
