Politico: Most of the Kids Going Back to School Are White, and That’s a Problem BY JIM TREACHER for PJ Media
As Americans cautiously emerge from our COVID-safe caves after a full year of tooth-grinding paranoia and panic — and as Democrats and their enablers do everything they can to distract us from the fact that Operation Warp Speed happened during the term of Bad Orange Man, which is just the reality whether you like him or not — some welcome signs of life are returning to our society. People are going back to restaurants and movie theaters and sporting events. Glenn Close can do “Da Butt” in a roomful of cheering onlookers during the Oscars, not alone in her mansion on a Zoom call. And to the relief of parents everywhere, kids are going back to school.
You probably thought kids returning to school was a good thing, didn’t you? You thought a return to normalcy was… well, normal. But I’ll bet you didn’t even realize that holding such a privileged opinion makes you a racist. You are a problem.

President Joe Biden is on the verge of meeting his 100-day pledge to press the majority of American schools into reopening for five days of weekly in-person instruction. But there’s a problem. Most of the kids returning to classes are white.
Minority students are most likely to be missing out on in-person learning, despite assurances of classroom safety under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and outreach by local and state school districts…
Eighty percent of public schools were open for at least some in-person learning by the end of February, according to a government survey, but an estimated 78 percent of Asian eighth-graders were learning in a fully remote environment. Nearly 60 percent of Black and Hispanic eighth-graders also learned at home full time.
That’s despite a White House-led push to inoculate millions of educators against Covid-19; the Biden administration’s close relationships with national teachers’ unions; a growing number of reopening schools and signs of public optimism about a return to normal classes this fall. A central concern is that families of color are choosing to opt out.
