Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was reprimanded on Twitter for not following the science when he tried to push the Biden administration's policy of forcing students to wear masks in school.
Cardona seized upon a study published on the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website as evidence that wearing masks in school reduced transmission of the coronavirus.
"A Wisconsin study found that schools that required masking had a 37% lower incidence of COVID-19 than the surrounding community," he wrote in a Twitter post last week.
