bill bennett, former education secretary. i want to play sound from the white house yesterday and read to you a pretty interesting quote from the randi weingarten that the "wall street journal" writes about. >> went from 46% to open to nearly all of them being open to full-time. that was the work of this president. and that was the work of democrats in spite of republicans not voting for the american rescue plan, which 130 billion went to school to have the ventilation, to be able to have the tutoring and teachers and being able to hire more teachers. >> dana: lot to unpack in that response. randi weingarten tweeted this, the head of the union. thankfully after two years of disruption, schools are already working on helping kids recover and thrive. this is the year to celebrate learning by rebuilding relationships focusing on the basics. we'll have new test scores call for number four. bill bennett, you tell us how dismayed are you by these test scores and these results? >> it's very bad, devastating report. for20 years we we

here now bill bennett, former education secretary, host of the bill bennett show and fox news contributor. i wonder when i look at the numbers, bill, how this plays out. what is the choice that republicans are going to be offering for people that are concerned about the status quo in education? how well articulated do you believe the candidates are making that? >> well, i think we had a start the other day with kevin mccarthy's meeting. i think some of it is quite obvious. the republican party, republican candidates, will not be beholden to the teacher's unions. part of the reason education is a big issue is during covid, we lifted the curtain of the school room and saw what was going on. we saw the teacher's unions were steadfastly belligerently even keeping schools closed long after any evidence that that was doing any good. martha, as you know, the kids that remained in schools, who opened schools, did a lot better from what we can tell during covid. so that was an insight into the soul of the nation's largest teacher union. republicans are not going to go with that. they will make tha
