Is It Safe to Give In to Pressure to Reopen Schools? | Post News Group

“The first reason Black parents are reluctant to have their children return to school is health and safety. More Black children are likely to live in multi-generational homes. This means that even though children are less likely to manifest COVID-19 symptoms, they can still contract and shed the virus and infect a grandparent or parent with underlying conditions. Given the high rate of COVID infections and death in the Black and Brown communities, Black families are not willing to take the risk of transmission.”   Of course, Ladson-Billings doesn’t speak for all Black parents, but some polls indicate that she probably does speak for many.
