Emails released via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal the Biden administration tightened its masking guidelines after a prominent teachers union threatened to release a statement harshly criticizing CDC masking policy, according to Fox News.
In a draft statement sent to the White House, the National Education Association slammed the Centers for Disease Control after announcing on May 13 that fully vaccinated Americans could stop wearing masks indoors and outside, sparking confusion as to how this would apply to schools.
After several frantic back-and-forth conversations, the CDC ‘clarified’ its guidance to indicate that everyone in schools should mask up, regardless of vaccination status, according to the emails obtained by watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust.
As suspected, the CDC's current school mask guidance came at the request/demand of the teachers unions, not based on any science.
Thanks @apublictrust for obtaining the emails.https://t.co/pKETNBVAKG pic.twitter.com/Wv09J2JK6t
