WASHINGTON—The AFT released a comprehensive report today, “The Select Subcommittee’s Revisionist History of School Closures During the Coronavirus Pandemic,” responding to rehashed, debunked and fact-free claims made in the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s final report.

The AFT previously responded to the subcommittee’s claims over a year ago, documenting in detail how its worthy founding goals were hijacked by a false narrative designed to smear and sully the nation’s educators and their unions.
