Summary

There is a full blown revolt against teachers unions that are refusing to return to the in-person learning, despite the CDC director saying teachers do not need to be vaccinated to return to school. Fox News Radio's Political analyst Josh Kraushaar weighs in on the fight between cities and teachers unions, the government's response and more. Eleven months into the coronavirus pandemic, many parents whose kids have been attending "screen school," say it's time children return to in-person learning. Those decisions are left up to each state or school district. During a recent school board meeting, Virginia father Brandon Michon unleashed a frustrated rant that wound up going viral. He joins to discuss the challenges that come with coronavirus school closures, why he feels parents' voices haven't been heard and the importance of getting kids back to in-person learning. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by co-host of "Fox and Friends" and host of "The Brian Kilmeade Show," Brian Kilmeade. Learn more about your ad choices.
