But not quite yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/30\/this-ideas-election-will-decide-the-countrys-direction-for-a-long-time\/\">Election Day Tuesday is the first real opportunit<\/a>y to hold accountable all the people who caused so much damage to everyone, all across society \u2014 but to children in particular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2022\/10\/covid-response-forgiveness\/671879\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Writing in The Atlantic<\/a>, Emily Oster called for \u201cpandemic amnesty,\u201d arguing, \u201cReasonable people \u2014 people who cared about children and teachers \u2014 advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is simply not true. Those opposed to reopening schools were neither reasonable, as no amount of actual evidence could persuade them that schools were largely safe, nor caring about children.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the list of people deserving blame for the academic destruction we\u2019re now uncovering is <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/01\/test-scores-show-how-randi-weingarten-damaged-a-generation-of-kids\/\">president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten<\/a>. She treated our public schools as her personal fiefdom, and Democrats let her get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>That last part is so important. Anti-child special-interest groups couldn\u2019t have hurt kids the way the teachers unions did without the support of Democratic elected officials. They kept schools closed, and we will be feeling the repercussions of that for years. These politicians chose Weingarten over the children, and there\u2019s no guarantee whatsoever they won\u2019t do it again.<\/p>\n<p>There were real villains of the pandemic, and none of those villains has apologized or repented in any way. So Oster\u2019s \u201camnesty\u201d for those who were so wrong for years is just not possible.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>What is possible is electoral punishment. Every Democrat who listened to Weingarten as if she were some kind of authority and not just a thug using a calamity to collect riches for her members should be held responsible Tuesday. Every politician who urged lockdowns past spring 2020, when we knew their pointlessness and damage, has to be voted out.<\/p>\n<p>Every elected official who forced masks on children while pooh-poohing the scarring it would invariably cause has to go. As late as last month, New York City children who hadn\u2019t gotten the COVID vaccine <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/20\/adams-ends-vaccine-mandates-for-private-biz-student-athletes\/\">could not participate in sports<\/a>. Anyone who supported this barbaric targeting of kids must be held liable.<\/p>\n<p>Oster\u2019s piece served as a very timely reminder of what happened to our children. It brought up all the feelings of rage over the damage done to our kids. Forgive without anyone taking responsibility or apologizing? No.<\/p>\n<p>On Election Day, parents should carry into the voting booth the anger they\u2019ve felt for the last two years and take it out on the people responsible. Every Democratic governor who either kept schools closed or pretended it was out of their sphere of influence (a lie) has to go.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/anthony-fauci.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/anthony-fauci.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, from left, Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra\" class=\"wp-image-24550544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/anthony-fauci.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/anthony-fauci.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/anthony-fauci.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dr. Anthony Fauci and other officials need to be investigated for their deciscions during the pandemic.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Evan Vucci<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t end Tuesday. As every parent knows, punishment doesn\u2019t work without accountability. If Republicans do manage to win the House and the Senate, they must hold hearings. The <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/24\/fresh-evidence-that-covid-school-closures-led-to-dramatic-setbacks-in-learning-for-americas-kids\/\">National Assessment of Educational Progress showed <\/a>reading and math scores plummeted. We can\u2019t just move on to other topics while our kids stay struggling like this.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Fauci, the president\u2019s chief medical adviser, said in February 2021 that schools couldn\u2019t open unless President Joe Biden\u2019s spending plan passed. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky \u2014 on the White House\u2019s orders \u2014 allowed Weingarten to craft school-opening policies. All this has to be investigated and put on the record so that we never listen to any of these people ever again and take steps to keep them from power.<\/p>\n<p>It starts with voting out every Democrat from top to bottom. Do it for the kids.<\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @Karol<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the pandemic moves further into our rearview mirror, there are some voices that want everyone to simply move on.
