FAUCI CLAIMS INNOCENCE ON SCHOOL SHUTDOWNS: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Fauci Claims Innocence on School Shutdowns: ‘I Had Nothing to Do with It’

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who recently announced he would be leaving his government post as White House chief medical adviser, claimed innocence on the fallout from school shutdowns, namely dramatic learning loss among K-12 students, in an interview that aired Sunday.

Speaking to ABC News, the nation’s chief immunologist denied that he had any responsibility in driving the public health consensus that schools should have discontinued in-person instruction for many months on end as a Covid-19 mitigation measure.

“Was it a mistake in so many states, in so many localities, to see schools closed as long as they were?” host Jonathan Karl asked.

“I don’t want to use the word ‘mistake’ John because if I do it gets taken out of the context that you’re asking me the question on,” Fauci replied. 

“Could there be too high a price?” Karl clarified, likely referencing the plummeting academic performance, social isolation, and mental health crisis that school closures fueled. READ MORE AT Fauci: School Shutdowns Something 'I Had Nothing to Do With' | National Review

BY SPECIAL REQUEST - CRYSTAL EASTMAN: MORE CHRONICLES OF CROTON'S BOHEMIA BY ROBERT SCOTT

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
BY SPECAL REQUEST:

FROM THE LATE ROBERT SCOTT...
Robert Scott's "Chronicles of Croton's Bohemia" continues with a look at Crystal Eastman, a fascinating woman whose story could only be told in two parts...CRYSTAL EASTMAN, PARTS 1 & 2

--BRAINS AND BEAUTY: Crystal Eastman was a pioneering feminist, an influential labor lawyer, a founder of the Woman’s Peace Party and the American Civil Liberties Union, a co-founder and co-editor of The Liberator, and one of the most beloved women of her generation. Ironically, despite her distinguished record of accomplishments, Crystal Eastman is mostly remembered as Max Eastman’s older sister.

--GONE TOO SOON: Crystal Eastman was “a natural leader,” recalled Roger Baldwin, a founder of the ACLU, with whom she had many differences.
She was also “outspoken (often tactless), determined, charming, beautiful and courageous.” Crystal left her mark on the series of organizations she helped to start with her diligent attention to detail.
