They Will Be Paying For a Long Time !

Longtime CBS reporter and chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford went viral on 12/26 & 12/27 on social media following comments, meant to air on Sunday’s CBS’ Face the Nation, that slammed our elected officials and public health experts for “the crushing impact that our COVID policies have had on young kids and children” and the subsequent mental health crisis.

“They will be paying for our generation’s decisions the rest of their lives”: 

@JanCBS explains why she thinks 2021’s biggest underreported story was the devastating impact of COVID policies on children.

“It’s the crushing impact that our COVID policies have had on young kids and children. By far the least serious risk for serious illness,” she began, adding that “a healthy teenager has a one in a million chance of getting, and dying from COVID, which is way lower than, you know, dying in a car wreck on a road trip.”

For the ideology that claims to represent the little guy and stand up for marginalized communities, what Crawford had to say was a direct repudiation:

“But they have suffered and sacrificed the most, especially kids and underrepresented at risk communities. And now we have the Surgeon General saying there’s a mental health crisis among our kids. The risk of suicide girl suicide attempts among girls now up 51 percent this year, black kids nearly twice as likely as white kids to die by suicide. I mean, school closures, lockdowns, cancellation of sports.”

(FYI: CBS skipped over her comments for the live viewing audience, although they could later be viewed on Facebook and YouTube.)

Yet now when we are being ravaged with the less serious Omicron variant, it appears that multiple school districts are planning the same deranged strategy. The Chicago school district just ordered 100,000 laptops … after ordering the same number last summer. Hmmm. Why would a school district do that? Perhaps because the Chicago Teachers’ Union is once again threatening another illegal strike in response to Chicago Public Schools’ plan to reopen with in-person learning. Even if the union does not strike, the school district itself is uncertain whether schools will remain open, depending on the positive test rate

Elsewhere a number of school districts in the Philadelphia area have already made the decision to close schools for in-person learning when classes resume after Christmas break next week, according to KYW-TV. 

Massachusetts has already seen a number of school districts announce that they will delay re-opening in January or open for remote learning only — notably, the teachers’ union called for every school in the state to be shut down, a call which even the Massachusetts state government rejected.

So get prepared as it appears that here we go again … at least in some blue states. Do these states really think that they can defy Einstein’s definition of ‘insanity?’ (“Repeatedly doing the same thing, and expecting a different result.”)

To close from BlazeNews:

A recent report from the United Nations indicated that school closures instituted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may have already cost today’s children as much as $17 trillion in potential future earnings.
