Democratic Chicago Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoots-heavy-hand-vaccine-free-your-time-is-up\/\">Lori Lightfoot<\/a> responded to their demands by canceling all classes Wednesday and instructing the CPS teachers to return to their classrooms by Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Watters teed up the segment, asking Perino whether she thought leadership at the federal level should go to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/chicago-teachers-union-asks-their-members-to-decide-if-they-will-return-to-remote-learning\/\">Chicago<\/a> and \u201cknock some heads together\u201d in order to get kids back into the classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden has an opportunity here to turn something around,\u201d Perino said, arguing that the president could make a show of standing by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/chicago-teachers-union-issues-list-of-demands-for-return-to-in-person-learning-that-must-be-met-by-monday\/\">Lightfoot<\/a> \u2014 in person, if possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I would do if I were Joe Biden, is tomorrow after I gave my January 6 commentary at the Statuary Hall at 9:00 a.m., I\u2019d get on a plane with Dr. Jill Biden, with Miguel Cardona \u2014 the Secretary of Education, with Xavier Becerra. Remember him? The Secretary of Health and Human Services? I think he might be in witness protection for cabinet secretaries. He is like nowhere to be found during this entire crisis. And I would go to Chicago, I would stand with Lori Lightfoot,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Perino went on to say that the end result of repeated school closures and spurts of remote learning might be the rise of school choice becoming \u201cmore widely accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheck these teachers\u2019 Instagram accounts is all I\u2019m saying,\u201d she added as an aside, due to reports of teachers who had advocated remote learning only to post pictures of themselves on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Watters turned the floor over to Gutfeld, who argued that there was at least one positive way to view the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the double destruction of the pandemic and of the teachers unions happening at exactly the same time, right?\u201d he said. \u201cWe now know that the pandemic is over. The teachers unions pushed us over the cliff. It is going to happen, February 1st, this is all going to be behind us. And it\u2019s time now to sever the ties with the least competitive entity on the planet since the Washington Generals. Our educational system is just like the Washington Generals in that we pay them to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing worse is that they are teaching our children to lose. They are going to lose in life because they are falling behind. We learned one really important thing from remote learning: No one is remotely learning,\u201d Gutfeld continued. \u201cChildren are locked in supervised jail time in these schools, all that\u2019s missing are three hots and a cot. The school is a prison run by clock-watchers and we\u2019ve now figured this out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld went on to say, as Perino had, that it was the perfect opportunity to promote school choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an amazing opportunity. I think we should dive on this. It\u2019s all about school choice, it\u2019s all about introducing competition into the one place on planet earth besides Cuba and North Korea where competition is seen as obscene. It\u2019s time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld concluded by saying that it was time for the American people to step up and be leaders in the absence of leadership elsewhere. \u201cIt is time for the American public to become the leaders to say we\u2019ve had enough of this. If you are not teaching our kids \u2013 we are not going to pay our taxes either.\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.
