Speaking on “Fox News Sunday” with host Chris Wallace, Louisiana GOP Senator Bill Cassidy bluntly stated that the enormous sum of money that President Biden has stipulated for public schools in order to get them to reopen is not only “110% of what they usually receive from the federal government,” but that the issue of getting children back into public schools was not the lack of funding but rather “the teachers’ unions telling their teachers not to go to work.”

Cassidy also pointed out that Biden giving the massive funding to public schools was a political move, as the teachers’ unions are generally a strong Democratic constituency.
