The Wall Street Journal accused President Biden of 'rewriting history' after he took credit for reopening schools after the COVID-19 pandemic closures.

"Schools would have opened much sooner had Mr. Biden used his bully pulpit and leveraged federal money," the paper added."The Administration could have conditioned the nearly $200 billion in Covid funds that Congress appropriated for schools on their reopening. Instead, schools were showered with more money than they could usefully spend."
"The share of students reporting five or more days of missed school in the last month has doubled since 2020," the WSJ cited."Nor has the Covid money done much to make up for learning loss. Eighth grade U.S. history test scores this year hit an all-time low. Average reading scores for 13-year-olds were the worst since the 1970s."
The paper concluded that these problems were only made worse by Biden, but that was a"truth" his administration wouldn't acknowledge.
