Kids Return to School As Battles Brew Over Mandates

Parents and teachers are weighing their back-to-school options as students return to classrooms while the U.S. deals with another surge in coronavirus cases due to the Delta variant. After the previous year of clashes over in-person learning versus remote learning, schools now find themselves in the middle of another nationwide battle, this time over masks, vaccine mandates and other restrictions. Anchor of “The Story” on the Fox News Channel, Martha MacCallum joins to discuss the ongoing debate over the effectiveness of mask requirements for students, the politicization of the COVID-19 vaccine and the frustration many feel towards our country’s top health officials. Martha also discusses the political turmoil facing both the New York and California governors, the bipartisan infrastructure bill and how excessive government spending could catch up with Americans in the long run.

The surge of the COVID’s Delta variant has left many businesses in America on edge, waiting for the next potential mandate to drop. Making matters worse, staffing shortages have made it difficult for many industries to keep up with the growing workload, causing customer service problems. Shana Gonzales, a franchisee with four Checkers fast-food locations in the Atlanta area, discusses how the pandemic continues to impact her businesses, why she resorted to automation to overcome some of the challenges, and how more business owners will soon rely on ‘artificial intelligence’ to get by.
