Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said there\u2019s overwhelming scientific evidence to support reopening schools across the country. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehill\/status\/1367542812623921164\">news conference<\/a> with fellow Senate Republicans on Thursday, the Kentucky lawmaker asserted that kids should have been back in the classroom months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Paul cited schools in his home state, which have been open without significant outbreaks. The senator then touted a new piece of legislation he\u2019s proposing to pressure other schools to return to in-person learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scientific evidence has been overwhelming, not only now but for months, that kids should be back in school,\u201d he stated. \u201cEvent the most cautious of government experts are saying they should go back to school.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s time to open schools now! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xyc5e8PdlZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/xyc5e8PdlZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul\/status\/1364226136541069321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Paul said when kids start going to schools that are open, maybe then other schools will follow suit.
