Former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg this week urged ex-rival President Joe Biden to stand up to teachers unions who are fighting attempts to resume in-person learning.
“I think what we’re doing to poor kids is a disgrace,” Bloomberg, a three-term mayor of New York City, said on MSNBC’s “Live with Stephanie Ruhle.” “These poor kids are not in school, they will never recover from this—and they had a bad education experience anyways. We have not had good schools for poor kids and this now is just so much worse. The president has to stand up to the unions.”
