By contrast, Murtaugh claimed, Trump will listen to parents and be guided by what they believe is in their child's best interest -- and state leaders should follow suit.

"One [reason] is it's just a bad idea to interrupt the educational development of kids all across the country, and second, parents need to have some certainty because as we get this economy moving again, parents need to be able to get back to work."
"I think a lot of governors have shown that they can handle these [COVID] flareups and address them," he added.
