Sometimes, the machinations of the party of evil, come back to bite 'em.
And now is a time to make it really, really hurt.
1. The Democrats/Progressives/totalitarians recognized that Trump’s greatest advantage was his economy. They needed a way to stultify the economy…..and when the Wuhan came along…..they saw a way to weaponize it against Trump. Trump was far quicker in announcing steps to fight the spread, and didn’t take six months to announce a national emergency, as Hussein did with the H1N1…but the Democrats had a way: close the economy down, and keep kids out of school so parents couldn’t go back to work.
2. "Covid Crisis Opens a Schools Voucher Moment for Trump
Editorial of The New York Sun | September 19, 2020
...our K-12 education serves teachers unions more than their customers, meaning parents. Could this be a moment for President Trump to launch a national schools voucher for parents scrambling to get their children back to school — and corner Joe Biden?
On Thursday, three days before New York City’s public schools were due to return to in-classroom learning, parents learned that the opening for grades between eight and twelve will be delayed —
What the crisis says to us is: empower parents to make the choices on where to educate their children.
3. And what better way for Mr. Trump to show his party stands with parents? The idea would be to expand a proven idea so that families across the country get a cash voucher for the education of their choosing: charter, private, religious, or home. Let the money follow the parents rather than to a set school. Milton Friedman began laying out the logic of vouchers more than 60 years ago. The idea shines brighter than ever.
4. This, though, would be a chance for Mr. Trump to mark the kind of principles he would pursue if re-elected. “I’m with you,” he likes to say. In this case he could mark vouchers as particularly attractive to families of minority students trapped in failing public schools.
5. Mr. Trump could even start in North Carolina, which Secretary DeVos recently visited to show her support for efforts to keep schools open for pupils, despite resistance from public school teachers. What a time for Mr. Trump to visit the Tarheel State, which is now too close to call, to talk about following North Carolina’s leader with a voucher program at the national level. Americans seem to be hungering for options. An aide at the Home School Legal Defense Association reckons we could see a 500% increase in homeschooled students this autumn. "

Unless we can pry the schools from them, as earlier American pried their slaves from them.....America is lost.
This is the opportunity.
