Tim Scott is right about the cost of school closures

In his response to President Joe Biden’s joint session address on Thursday, South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott rightly called out Democrats for ignoring both science and commonsense by keeping schools closed during the coronavirus pandemic.

“I am saddened that millions of kids have lost a year of learning when they could not afford to lose a day,” Scott said. “Locking vulnerable kids out of the classroom is locking adults out of their future.”
