Seems to me they are getting plenty of pushback.

Where do you see it?

Schools are mostly open in Texas. And in the northeast even liberal publications like the Atlantic are suggesting it would be fine for schools to re-open

They are almost entirely closed in most major urban districts, and this is the first article I see pushing the other way in a major respectable publication.

I don’t think opinion columnists have much of value to add to the discussion.

That was an economist who at least claims to have run the numbers, whereas the main justification I see for keeping schools closed is that Trump wants to open them.

I would just like to remind you that coronavirus has killed 200,000 Americans without urban school districts re-opening. The primary reason that schools have not re-opened everywhere is that people are not convinced it is safe to do so.

Yes, and if Trump wasn't president maybe we'd be having a semirational discussion on the costs (family stress, loss of intellectual and social development etc) vs benefits of keeping them closed, like they do elsewhere. Private schools have largely reopened in NYC btw.
