1. How are those two things mutually exclusive? Re-opening plans were inadequate and also remote learning leaves students behind. There's "No Silver Bullet" in software, and educating the country's children in a pandemic is infinitely more complicated than most software projects. (And, BTW, re-opening schools also isn't an either/or... but hard-line partisans on both sides are giving school district admins hell about any attempt at a hybrid approach) 2.

It's a magazine, not a party platform.
