Once again, the science proves: Schools pose minimal risk in the spread of COVID-19. The CDC says it. Experts say it. 

And New York shows it, with just three city schools closed to hybrid in-person learning, out of an abundance of caution, because someone tested positive at the facilities. The infection rate in schools has consistently been below 1 percent and a significant percentage of teachers has been vaccinated.

All of which leads us to beg, to plead:

OPEN ALL THE SCHOOLS NOW!

The future of our children depends on it.
