    Newly-surfaced emails between teachers union executives and officials working for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that the unions played a role in crafting the language of the CDC’s school reopening guidelines, The New York Post reported.

    The emails show that CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky coordinated with American Federation of Teachers (AFT) on language for the guidelines, and the union even described the CDC as its “thought partner.”

    “We were able to review a copy of the draft guidance document over the weekend and were able to provide some initial feedback to several staff this morning about possible ways to strengthen the document,” AFT senior director Kelly Trautner wrote in an email to coronavirus mitigation officials. “…We believe our experiences on the ground can inform and enrich thinking around what is practicable and prudent in future guidance documents.”

    A spokesperson for Walensky denied any political interference in the creation of the guidelines for school reopening:

    “As part of long-standing best practices, CDC has traditionally engaged with organizations and groups that are impacted by guidance and recommendations issued by the agency,” spokesperson Jason McDonald told The Post. “These informative and helpful interactions often result in beneficial feedback that we consider in our final revisions to ensure clarity and usability.”

    While these interactions occurred, Congressional Democrats also enjoyed an influx of donations from teachers unions for siding with them in the debate over reopening schools.

    To open schools, you do require teachers. if the right had their way, they would pay no attention to teachers' safety. They apparently think the teachers, who are educated and can think, should ignore their own beliefs and rush back to schools when told. It does not work that way. We do have the LCD dictating a lot of policies. Ignore science and what you think and follow what Trump says.

    Over 80% of teachers are very low risk, as are 99% of students.

    The schools are not "cattle call fundraisers" for the teachers' unions and DNC, as they apparently believe.
    This bullshit is another reason why we need SCHOOL CHOICE ,ALLOWING PARENTS TO DECIDE WHERE THEIR MONEY, FOR THEIR CHILDREN, SHOULD BE SPENT.

    EVEN THE FRENCH ARE THAT SMART..AND THEIR SCHOOLS REFLECT THAT.
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    You really have not proven in your OP that Unions set any policies. THE ADMINISTRATION SETS POLICIES BASED UPON THE VERY BEST FACTUAL AND PROVEN INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THEM.

    Labor Unions set standards for the workers they represent- and lobby the government, the public, and EMPLOYERS to adhere to them.

    And you have not proven that any Labor Union, is making it possible for anyone anywhere to skip work and still get paid. THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT. A Labor Union may make suggestions or base their opinions- BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CARRY IT OUT!

    BUT DO KEEP HOPELESSLY FLAILING YOUR LITTLE WINGS, fanning the flames of discourse and confusion, TRYING TO CONVINCE SOME FOOL SOMEWHERE WITH YOUR DISINFORMATION- AND BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE, TRYING TO SCORE SOME CHEAP SHOT POLITICAL POINT!

    QUESTION IS- WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT OUT THERE WORKING TODAY- INSTEAD OF SPENDING ALL OF YOUR AVAILABLE TIME HERE TODAY CRYING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT UNIONS?

    I'm not here to argue- SO WE WILL JUST HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE.

    THE CDC MADE RECOMMENDATIONS SURE, BUT THE DECISIONS TO REMAIN OPEN, RE-OPEN, OR CLOSE SCHOOLS HAS BEEN WITH STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS, AND PRIVATE SCHOOL ADMINISTARTORS ALL ALONG- NOT TEACHERS UNIONS..........

    .........................JUST AS UNIVERSITIES, TRADE SCHOOLS, BARBER AND BEAUTY COLLEGES, AND WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR GUITAR LESSONS!

    It's not just Public Schools that shut down!

    Perhaps your lack of understanding comes from a lack of wanting to understand- BECAUSE IT IS NOT PLAYING INTO YOUR ULTERIOR POLITICAL MOTIVATIONS!

    The two suggestions are not earth shaking. You all need to keep calm and let it go.

    "While the CDC was preparing to declare that all schools could provide in-person learning regardless of the degree of community spread of coronavirus, AFT senior director for health issues Kelly Trautner proposed adding new language. At least two language suggestions made by the AFT were adopted in some form in the final text of the CDC’s guidelines, the Post found. The emails were provided to the paper by Americans for Public Trust, a conservative watchdog group that obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request.

    While the CDC was preparing to declare that all schools could provide in-person learning regardless of the degree of community spread of coronavirus, AFT senior director for health issues Kelly Trautner proposed adding new language.

    “In the event of high community-transmission results from a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, a new update of these guidelines may be necessary,” Trautner’s suggestion read. The language was added as part of the CDC’s guidance on reopening.

    The AFT also pushed for exemptions from in-person work for teachers and staff at higher risk of susceptibility to coronavirus, as well as staff with a family member at high risk for COVID-19. Language outlining these exemptions was adopted as part of the final CDC guidance."
