Dr. Myers: “It’s a downright shame…” on Holcomb’s threat to cut school funding

“It’s a downright shame that Republicans are fighting with each other about school funding when teachers, parents and students are afraid for their lives in going back to school,” said Dr. Woody Myers. “Instead of reassuring the public, Gov. Holcomb and President Pro Tem Rod Bray are pushing for in-person schooling at the sake of health and safety—and on the day when we’ve again seen a record number of COVID-19 cases.”
