POLL: Do you support proposal to withhold federal funds from schools that don’t reopen?

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by Fox News:
Republican Sens. Roy Blunt of Missouri and Tim Scott of South Carolina have introduced an amendment to the budget that will withhold federal relief funds if public schools don’t resume in-person learning even after its teachers have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
The senators, who submitted the amendment on Thursday, issued a joint statement saying that the proposal was in the students’ best interest.
The article goes on to state the following:
“Keeping our nation’s students out of the classroom for a year is permanently injuring the educational aspirations and opportunities of an entire generation,” said Scott. “The children most negatively impacted are those who are growing up poor, just like I did. While teacher unions and their allies continue to change the rules as we go, we must be clear: if you have been vaccinated, it’s time to get back into the classroom.”
PLEASE TAKE OUR POLL BELOW – WE WANT YOUR OPINION! Once teachers have been vaccinated, should federal funds be withheld from schools for every day they don’t reopen and allow students to come back to school?
It’s disheartening to see Washington elites send their children to the top private schools while making it harder for the poorest Americans to gain access to quality education.
Every family deserves #SchoolChoice.

It’s clear prolonged remote learning is hurting our students – many are falling behind, failing classes & experiencing mental health problems. Health experts say we should get students back into classrooms. Yet Pres. Biden is picking teachers’ unions over what’s best for kids pic.twitter.com/2LQwJbRJLL
