In an interview Sunday, the Republican lawmaker said the White House tried to pressure the CDC into reversing its guidelines after the agency confirmed students could return to in-person classes.<\/p>\n<p>Scalise pointed out that there are already billions of dollars left over from previous relief packages to fund schools. He added, new funding would not provide immediate help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat money will not even be able to be spent, 95 percent of it won\u2019t even be able to be spent until 2022, so do they really want to pass a bill that\u2019s going to delay reopening schools even more?\u201d asked minority whip. \u201cOur kids can\u2019t wait\u2026the science says they can be in the classroom today.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This isn&#8217;t just kids sad they can&#8217;t see friends.<\/p>\n<p>The mental health toll of remote school is SEVERE.<\/p>\n<p>Parents are writing to me about kids attempting suicide and being diagnosed with depression.<\/p>\n<p>We can fix this.<\/p>\n<p>Why won&#8217;t Dems listen to the CDC and call for schools to reopen? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LJogGeB1Xa\">pic.twitter.com\/LJogGeB1Xa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveScalise\/status\/1363880549056720897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Scalise said the priority should be students and their well-being.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-scalise-president-trump-has-denounced-capitol-protests\/\">Rep.
