“There’s no one that wants our kids back more than teachers,” Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association , told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on Wednesday. “But we want to open it safely.”The president of the nation’s largest teachers union challenged President Donald Trump to sit in a classroom and “breathe that air,” slamming his push to reopen schools amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. We’re talking about second graders,” García said. García’s union wants more personal protective equipment, deep-cleaning procedures, sanitizing stations and classroom alterations that allow students to be at least 6 feet apart.
