Re: Public opinion on schools: People should note that the vast majority of parents saying they want kids to “return” belong to the white, professional, insured class. Parents of color (many in multigenerational households) desperately want their children to stay remote. https://twitter.com/williamjordann/status/1359153225199472641

A new wrinkle in racial disparities in education is that the divide on covid is also happening WITHIN schools — IE in big urban high schools with sizable white and POC populations, the data I’ve seen show nearly unanimous POC opposition to “returning” https://twitter.com/apoorpoet/status/1359161641271713793?s=20

Yes, there certainly are interactions with pop density and student-to-teacher ratios https://twitter.com/alamosacitizen/status/1359162647283961859?s=20

My anecdata are not perfectly representative, but it seems like the same story in many suburbs — mostly-white movements dedicated to “reopening” schools have been able to wield a tremendous amount of power over decision-makers, teachers, & POC parents https://twitter.com/EssArrBee/status/1359163405433794563?s=20
