Roger Marshall, R-Kan., speaks during a confirmation hearing for Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Xavier Becerra before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021 on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Leigh Vogel\/Pool via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:30 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, March 4, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) recently asserted that the radical left is politicizing the future of American children.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking with reporters Wednesday, the Kansas Republican and physician said the mental health crisis in the U.S. has never been worse thanks to major Democrat-led lockdowns that kept people at home for most of 2020. Marshall &nbsp;added, children are the ones suffering the most from these policies and stressed the importance of letting them go back to school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the worst shape of mental health our youth has ever been and my daughter\u2019s got two little kids at home, I\u2019ve gotta tell ya, she\u2019s stressed,\u201d Marshall stated. \u201cI\u2019m stressed, my wife is stressed because we know our kids should be in school\u2026so the mental health of this country has never been worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marshall went on to point out the chances of children\u2019s lives being threatened by the virus are practically zero while in school and it\u2019s time for things to go back to normal. While some teacher\u2019s unions are calling for classrooms to remain shuttered, Marshall said this does not represent what the average American teacher wants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost the teachers I talk to want to work, they want to get back to school,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey want to do their job, and I will contend that there is a safe and responsible way for kids to be in school right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marshall said it\u2019s simply \u201cun-American\u201d to not want to work, adding that children have the right to go to school and teachers have the right to work. He suggested that instead of treating kids as if they have similar risks as senior citizens, state governments should give local school board members more flexibility to make these decisions on a day to day basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, there are times in your community where maybe we need to send the kids home, but for the most part the chances of a child having a serious and life threatening infection from this virus is, I don\u2019t know, one in a million type of situation,\u201d Marshall stated. \u201cSeniors on the other hand is just the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8Amazing news!
