“If you look back at calls to the child abuse hotline, and compare April of 2019 when schools were fully in session to April 2020 which is when we had distance learning, you’ll see a nearly 40 percent drop off in calls. That represents a decrease in nearly 20,000 calls,” said Desantis. 

This is a defining moment in history, as the U.S. education system has never been in so much turmoil. If it’s a matter of child abuse vs. coronavirus, it seems everyone is at a loss. Maybe this is the Trojan horse for teacher’s unions who, for years, have advocated for higher wages and radical change.

At the very least, lawsuits such as these have put a spotlight on the disconnect between the viewpoints of lawmakers and educators in regard to how school systems should function. 

This story is ongoing and USA Herald will continue its reporting on Florida school reopenings following Wednesday’s hearings.
