Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said Joe Biden is betraying children by keeping schools closed.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Cassidy spoke from the Senate floor. He asserted children were being left behind in the classroom, with a disproportionate amount of those affected coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, as they are much less likely to log into their accounts even with full computer and internet access.<\/p>\n<p>This came amid Democrat-led lockdown orders, which mandated the suspension of in-person instruction throughout numerous schools across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA place where children go not just to learn, but to have social workers make sure they aren\u2019t being abused at home, a dietary staff to make sure they have adequate nutrition, but also to learn, has been closed for a year,\u201d Cassidy noted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2386305\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2386305\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2386305 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-531.jpeg\" alt=\"NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 29: Elementary school students are welcomed back to P.S. 188 as the city&#039;s public schools open for in-person learning on September 29, 2020 in New York City. Middle and high schoolers will start on Oct. 1 while Pre-K students and students with disabilities could return to school starting on Sept. 21. On Sunday, the executive board of the union representing more than 6,400 of New York City&#039;s school leaders passed a unanimous vote of no confidence against Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza for what they called a failure to lead New York City through the safe and successful reopening of its schools.

Cassidy cited a study from the University of Chicago, which found a group of children could return to the classroom without getting infected with three-feet social distancing measures in place. He also mentioned a CDC study from January 2021, which found little evidence of virus spread in a school setting when the recommended precautions were taken.<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy also remarked while well-off students have the option to attend private schools or charter programs that have not suspended in-person instruction, poor families have not had this option. He suggested if the Biden administration cared about children\u2019s future, they could take funding from closed public schools and give this to parents to fund their children\u2019s education elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration\u2019s policy four months into their four years demonstrates betrayal after betrayal after betrayal,\u201d Cassidy stated. \u201cThis administration is betraying the most vulnerable children in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy stressed Joe Biden\u2019s refusal to re-open schools cannot be attributed to either a lack of funds or concerns over safety, but rather to a lack of will. He called on the Democrat to \u201csafely re-open schools now.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/n-y-state-assembly-approves-impeachment-probe-into-gov-cuomo\/\">N.Y.
