The Daily Signal - What Does ‘Back to School’ Mean in the Time of COVID-19?
What could "back to school look like during the first fall of the COVID-19 pandemic, and what should it look like? What about an "exclusively virtual" education experience? What are wise precautions to take and what is unrealistic? Lindsey Burke, who directs The Heritage Foundation's Center for Education Policy and is the think tank's Will Skillman fellow in education, joins the podcast to discuss.
We also cover these stories:
- The District of Columbia plus 17 states are taking President Donald Trump’s administration to court.
- Tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate, with China putting sanctions on Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, both Republicans.
- The Washington Redskins have thrown out both their team name and logo.
