California candidate for governor accuses Newsom of creating ‘education equality gap’ during COVID
Fox News
California gubernatorial candidate Kevin Faulconer on Wednesday slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom for allowing schools to remain closed despite confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that it’s generally safe for kids to return to classrooms.
Faulconer, 54, launched his bid earlier this month to replace Newsom, who is facing the likely prospect of a recall election fueled by growing discontent over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on businesses, mental health and public schools. California’s public schools have remained closed since March, when Newsom announced the first statewide stay-at-home order. Though the CDC has said it's generally safe for students to return to classrooms so long as basic safety guidelines are followed, the governor has been unable to reach a deal with teachers' unions over the conditions of resuming in-person learning.More Related News
