Viewpoints: If We’re So Smart, Why Are Our Schools Closed?
If We’re So Smart, Why Are Our Schools Closed?
A perspective from Lindsay Kelly
Chapel Hill prides itself on being a university town, full of some of the brightest minds in the state, and yet, somehow, we are about to earn the title of “North Carolina school district most resistant to science.” Despite the local, national, and international data that make it clear that it is safe to reopen schools, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools will be one of the last districts – if not THE last school district in North Carolina to offer our children the opportunity to attend school in person. As a community, we should be outraged that the needs of our children have remained unmet for nearly a year, and we should be ashamed of ourselves for electing a school board that lacks the leadership to address the challenge at hand.
