How Teachers Unions Held Education Hostage During COVID—Corey DeAngelis | TEASER

“You had the teachers unions lobbying the CDC to make it more difficult to reopen schools in person so that they could hold children's education hostage to secure multiple multibillion-dollar ransom payments from the taxpayer.
