Teachers’ unions do not want to re-open schools. I can think of some benefits for them from this stance, but mostly I think closed schools will hurt them. I can think of three short-term reasons for leftists, in the form of teachers’ unions, to wage war on public schools: 1.

These were the parents in England who pulled their young children out of school rather than have the children be subject to a month long GLBT indoctrination, er, education sessions — and who are now being
