Certainly not the students, particularly the black and Hispanic children they claim to care about \u2014 and who have suffered disproportionately as a result of teacher-union overcaution.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFollow the science\u201d has been a refrain of the left for the past two years. Well, then follow it. Kids need to be in school. Don\u2019t take it away from them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMollie, I have to tell you as a mom \u2013 I know you are a mom too \u2014 I have found it just breathtaking how willing the left has been to destroy childhoods,\u201d Campos-Duffy added. \u201cThey know that there is no need to have remote learning, that it hurts kids, that suicides are up, that suicide attempts are up over 50% with teenage girls, have you been surprised at just how cruel they have been? Knowing what they know in terms of the data?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been amazing to watch. I am sure Republicans are thrilled that teacher unions and Randi Weingarten and other teacher union officials are working so hard to put kids in lockdown, even though there is no scientific basis for doing so,\u201d Hemingway replied. \u201cBut it is horrific for children, it is making sure that people understand that government, school unions exist in no way to help children, only to help teachers, and that they do not care about the well-being of students. That is so abundantly clear. I don\u2019t think anyone can disagree with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hemingway went on to say that her real concern was the fact that not many were standing up for the kids and calling out the unions for supporting policies that were not good for the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy aren\u2019t more people working to defend these children who don\u2019t have as much of a political voice, who are experiencing horrific rates of depression and suicide, all sorts of antisocial behavior, all of the problems that come with virtual learning, which is always actually a worse way to learn than in person teacher instruction,\u201d Hemingway concluded. \u201cIt is alarming what we allow these children to be put through through. It\u2019s really time for responsible adults to start caring so much more about these children, who had not just months, but years of their lives in some cases destroyed by these teachers unions and other people who just used these children as collateral.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
