White House defends migrant kids’ in-person learning since teachers ‘on spring break’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was grilled Tuesday about illegal migrant children being allowed to attend school in California for in-person learning while American students are still learning virtually — responding that teachers are free to volunteer because American students are “on spring break.” ​

She was questioned about a Fox News report that quoted San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond saying that he’s happy illegal migrant minors can return to the classroom but he wishes that all 130,000 students be given “the same opportunity for in-person teaching.” Psaki responded that “context is important.”
