Not a momentous change numerically, but maybe an important one politically. Via Pew:

About six-in-ten Americans (61%) now say K-12 schools that are not currently open for any in-person instruction should give a lot of consideration to the possibility that students will fall behind academically when deciding whether to reopen. In July 2020, 48% said this should be given a lot of consideration as schools made decisions about whether to open for in-person instruction in the fall. The shares saying schools should give a lot of consideration to the risk to teachers (48%) or students (45%) of getting or spreading the coronavirus are both down from about six-in-ten who said in July that each should be a major factor in decisions about reopening.....

There’s a catch with the new Pew poll, though. Yesterday I noted that public opinion on school reopenings isn’t quite as righteous across the population as it is among conservatives. Teachers unions are more popular than you might think, and parents seem to think that school districts are reopening at more or less the correct pace. One recent survey conducted by USC Dornsife found that 75 percent of parents are getting the type of instruction right now that they want for their kids, with just 15 percent saying they want more in-class instruction and 10 percent saying they want less. On the specific question of whether we should wait to reopen schools until teachers have been vaccinated, a proposition even Anthony Fauci and Rochelle Walensky disagree with, a Morning Consult survey published last week found that most adults think we should wait, 55/34.

Unless, getting kids to fall behind was part of their plan to weaken and socialize America.

After about a year, it’s a little too late to start worrying about this now. Should have been all over your idiot governors when it started.

Go to your local school board meetings and raise hell.
