Teachers unions are failing American students by forcing them into remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said Thursday.

“There is no excuse,” DeVos said on Fox Business. “The only reason kids are not back to school in person in too many places is because the teachers unions have been standing in the way and have been playing politics with children’s lives.”
