A message from Texas state Sen. Royce West, representing District 23: Today, President Joe Biden announced two efforts aimed at helping Texas school children and residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
First, President Biden instructed Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to take the steps needed to protect school children by using all available oversight authority — including legal action — to stop governors or other officials’ efforts to “block and intimidate local schools and educators.” The President called out politicians for their attempts to turn public safety measures into partisan disputes for their own political gain.
