1/3: I've been emphasizing why it's important for kids to be in school (education, food security, mental health counseling) and support @AmerAcadPeds...BUT we just cannot open schools in areas of high transmission. https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1285171352576634880

2/3: Teachers, staff, bus drivers would all get sick within a few weeks under those circumstances. I'm truly disgusted what's happening. The federal government and some states forcing school teachers, our greatest national treasure, to put their lives at risk...why?

3/3: Why? Because the Federal Govt and some Governors refuse to do the hard work required to keep our communities safe. Instead, they dump it on the teachers, school principals, boards to figure it out. They're knowlingly setting up our nation's teachers to fail.
